Abstract
The definition of TSES is as follows: TSES is a whole-territory covering system of an ecologically optimum structure of the landscape composed of elements with different degrees of ecological stability and different uses, but in its entirety ensuring both the internal functioning of individual core ecosystems and the functionality of the spatial relations among them as a precondition for the maintenance of the spatial landscape-ecological stability and so the diversity of both conditions and forms of life. TSES has two equally important essential parts: the skeleton of TSES—a system of biocentres, biocorridors and interactive elements, and a system of ecostabilising measures. Both these parts are of the same importance. The functioning of TSES can be maintained only by safeguarding both of them. The criteria for determining the functions of landscape elements for the TSES are following:
-
Selective criteria—determine whether a landscape element is able to fulfil the functions as shelter, nourishment and reproduction. An important criterion is geoecological representativeness. These are the strategic criteria mainly for selection of biocentres.
-
Localisation criteria—determine whether the landscape elements perform a function within the spatial arrangement of the biocentres, biocorridors and interactive elements as the change of genetic information and migration, as well as specific functions as retention, anti-erosive, microclimatic, hygienic, aesthetic functions, etc.
-
Realisation criteria—determine the conditions for the realisation of the TSES in relation to the human activities. Most important indicator in this group is the spatial arrangement of the land-use elements and the legal frame of nature and nature resources protection.
TSES in Slovakia is projected on three hierarchical levels: the General Plan of the supra-regional TSES related to the whole territory of Slovakia, the regional TSES-s related to the districts of Slovakia and the local TSES-s related to the municipalities. TSES is incorporated in several acts. For an effective implementation of TSES, the decisive importance has the legal determination of the position of the TSES in the territorial planning documentations where the elements of the TSES are defined as obligatory regulations on all level of the planning process.
