Landscape analysis, synthesis, and diagnosis

Abstract

The current land use processes and land use changes in the last centuries make it necessary for all natural, socio-economic and cultural conditions to be carefully considered in the socio-economically dominated processes of landscape management and planning. The socially necessary benefit-cost ratio of securing natural processes of regulation in physical regions, especially for both simple and extended reproduction of natural conditions, is increasingly becoming a driving force in the determination of the economic and social effectiveness of land use.
