Landscape-ecological Planning LANDEP

The book details the LANDEP landscape-ecological planning system, developed by the Institute of Landscape Ecology in Slovakia. It outlines a methodical procedure comprising four key steps: analyses, syntheses, evaluations, and proposals, with an intermediate step for interpretations. While established in 1979, the methodology remains relevant and applicable in various planning contexts. The initial steps focus on fundamental research to design complex ecological units, while the latter steps cater to practical planning needs, providing criteria for landscape assessment and human utilization.
