All planning activity aimed at utilization, protection, and development of an area, the associated environment, and the available natural resources must be based on knowledge of the ecology of the landscape. Until now, efforts have been focused on learning the preconditions for ecologically optimum utilization of an area.

CREATION OF LANDSCAPE ECOLOGICAL PLANS Landscape ecological planning is one of the most important aspects of landscape ecological research and is developing due to the increasing problems in the interaction between society and nature. Global changes in the environment, especially in the natural environment, are reflected both in the development of individual national economies and in the development of human civilization and the world economy.

LANDSCAPE ECOLOGICAL PLANNING (LANDEP) An analysis of foreign concepts of applied research studies of landscape/ecological interactions underscores that the Czechoslovak concept comprises application methods from different scientific disciplines, from a comprehensive ecological analysis of a landscape through the synthesis and evaluation of the territory up to the proposal for optimum land use.

• Ecological optimization of landscape utilization which relies on landscape ecological data, particularly ecologically homogeneous spatial units. Types of landscape/ecological complexes and ecological regions are compared with the requirements and needs of the society in the development of the particular territory.

Rather, an integrated proposal of spatial organization is developed from ecological data and contains clear-cut views on the ecological proposal. • LANDEP does not contradict economic development because it respects all categories of landscape utilization required by society.

Biotic phenomena and processes should be investigated as indicators of ecological landscape characteristics. The principles and methods used in the creation of landscape ecological plans should be focused on harmonization of landscape utilization with ecological conditions, on guiding controversial interests of the society, and on creating prerequisites for rational utilization and conservation of natural resources.

The widest application possibilities have been found within the framework of regional planning. This is followed by branch planning when seeking ecologically optimum solutions for use of the land by agriculture, by water systems, by industry, by power engineering, for transportation, or for recreation.
