Landscape typology in the Czech Republic and abroad: State of the art, methods and theoretical basis
2007
Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to introduce the importance of landscape typology in present times when many landscapes are exposed to dynamic human impacts such as land use changes, urbanization, intensive agriculture, forestry or industrialization. Different approaches to landscape typology in Czechia and other European countries as well as relations of landscape typology to landscape character assessment and the European Landscape Convention are discussed.
A requirement of a new exact and applicable landscape typology is a great challenge for Czech geographers.
