KRAJINA V ZÁSADÁCH ÚZEMNÍHO ROZVOJE. ANEB PŘÍKLAD PŘÍSTUPU K ŘEŠENÍ KRAJINY V ÚPDLandscape in the principles of spatial development, or an example of the approach to landscape arrangement in documents of spatial planning at regional level, by Vladimír Mackovič
The Building Act and ensuing legislation as of 2006 laid down the content of the Principles of Spatial Development. These Principles specify and develop objectives and tasks of spatial planning in the territories of Czech Regions. One of the objectives of spatial planning is to create conditions for sustainable development in territories, including sustainable landscape development. Pertaining to this, the author asks the following questions: How can spatial planning affect particular components of the landscape? In what does spatial planning have exclusive potential for landscape arrangement? What is the importance of landscape with respect to sustainable spatial development? Can conditions for sustainable landscape development be determined when only one landscape component is being arranged? Do the Principles of Spatial Development contain a tool for creating conditions for sustainable landscape development? The article sums up the author’s opinions on these issues and clarifies his approach to landscape arrangement within the Principles, which he advocated as landscape planner for Principles of Spatial Development of the Central Bohemia Region and during the update process of the Principles.
