Abstract
During the last decade several attempts have been made by ecologists to evaluate natural environments, rural landscapes, forests and trees, and so forth. An evaluation of natural environments is increasingly required in order to weigh alternative uses of natural environments against each other, particularly because environmental problems are going to be a major concern in physical planning. For example, in view of the large scale urbanization in western countries an evaluation of functions of rural landscapes versus urban landscapes is a necessary condition for making right decisions in the field of physical planning.
