Abstract

The rational organisation of space, even when subjected to certain principles, offers much better opportunities than the spontaneous efforts of individuals working for their own benefit only. The use of space is determined to a significant extent by the framework of planning freedom which results, among other things, from the conditions of the environment, legal regulations, existing status of land development, spatial organisation, economic principles of the economy, conditions resulting from the use and ownership structure, and social conditions. The environmental conditions and limitations to the disposal of the given space resulting from environment protection are of major importance. Those conditions limit planning freedom, creating a framework for planning solutions, and they are necessary for rational space management. The development of universal principles for creating thematic maps supporting the planning process, in this case the planning freedom map, represents a useful tool (Peng et al. 2011). For this purpose, the notion of planning freedom restricted by environmental considerations and the new baseline document for planning purposes—the map of planning freedom (ultimately referred to as the map of planning freedom restricted by environmental considerations) were developed. The opportunities for using them in planning practice are also presented.
