    This study aims at presenting a conceptual model for landscape management in the Himalayan region of India,
    using quantitative/mathematical approach. Keeping in view the requirement, (based on fifteen years empirical
    field work in the Himalayan region and as well as literature survey) the MODAM (Multiple Objectives Decision
    Support Tools for Landscape Management) model along with linear programming approach was adopted with a
    view to presenting additional methodological perspectives on interdisciplinary landscape research. The work has
