... What also had to be included among these problems were the insufficiently considered technological interventions into natural systems and the problems of spatial organization of the environment in the widest sense, including urbanization and socioeconomic activities. These issues have played a very important role in the development of landscape ecology in Czechoslovakia as well as in other countries of Central Europe.

From page 41...
... The success of landscape ecology in research as well as in implementation reflects the need to solve the growing disproportions in the organization of landscape utilization. The formulation of layout plans usually evolves primarily from analyses of individual branches of the national economy, although attempts to apply more complex knowledge of the landscape have already been undertaken.

... The landscape ecology research program may be used to address all basic problems of landscape utilization, in the domain of urban systems, agriculture, water management, tourism, or other branches of the national economy. The composition of the interdisciplinary team depends upon the solutions required for individual problems.
