“…Two methods have been approved by practice and applied almost by routine, namely landscape ecological planning [14] and the method of projecting the ecological networks, named the territorial system of ecological stability [18,52]. These are based on the geosystem approach that allows their modification for varying purposes [10,12,33,53].…”

The integrated approach to landscape management is generally accepted, but its application is not on the desired practical level. Sectoral approaches to decision-making and planning processes still dominate. The presented paper concerns selected aspects of integrated landscape management in Slovakia. This paper reflects the present state of the long-term effort and experiences of the authors in the integration of ecological knowledge in landscape management tools. The basic methodological procedure needed to achieve this goal consists of analysis, mutual comparison, and confrontation of the existing principles and tools used in applied landscape ecology, as well as in legislation and planning practice. The landscape ecological base for the implementation of scientific achievements in landscape management consists of two methods: landscape ecological planning and ecological network planning. These two methods were implemented into the legislation and practice of nature conservation, physical/territorial planning, watershed management, land arrangement projecting, forestry planning, and flood prevention management. Such systematic landscape ecological regulations in planning practice can be considered the basis for sustainable development.

“…The relationship between the erodibility fraction and the rate of wind erosion was represented by a linear fuzzy membership function (Figure 3c) [29]. The same function was applied to the relationship between the climate factor and the rate of wind erosion (Figure 3b) [33]. The relationship between the vegetation cover and the rate of wind erosion was represented by a J-shaped monotonically decreased fuzzy membership function (Figure 3a) [19].…”

“…In prior research, wind velocity was considered the main trigger of wind erosion processes [18,19]. Saadoud et al [32] and Mezösi et al [33] further investigated air temperature and precipitation. In a particular area of AP Vojvodina (Deliblato sands), Kadović et al [34] pointed to the drought factor in relation to the soil degradation caused by desertification processes.…”

Identifying Areas Sensitive to Wind Erosion—A Case Study of the AP Vojvodina (Serbia)

et al. 2019

Wind erosion is one of the most significant forms of land degradation which occurs in arid and semi-arid regions. Agricultural land is significantly affected by wind erosion, which leads to soil quality reduction, and consequently to economic losses. This research was conducted in the autonomous province (AP) of Vojvodina (a region dominated by agriculture), which represents one of the most important economic regions in the Republic of Serbia. The aim of this research was to identify areas sensitive to wind erosion (in the month of March) in the AP Vojvodina by using fuzzy logic, remote sensing data, and geographical information systems (GIS). The data of prior research on erosion sediment were used for results validation. The results show that the hazardous sensitivity category covers approximately 60.41% of the research area, while the medium sensitive category accounts for 36% of the area. These findings are primarily a result of the lack of vegetation in almost the entire area, particularly in wind-exposed agricultural areas with no vegetation, which are being prepared for sowing. Another factor putting such a large area at risk is the unfavorable climate (especially in southeastern parts of the area), and slightly less favorable soil properties in the north. The results of this research could be used in decision-making at the regional level, along with the development and implementation of programs aimed at mitigating the effects of wind erosion.

“…The method of the assessment of the interests of sectoral activities is based on the understanding of the landscape as a geosystem [29,56,57], in particular on the systematic interpretation of the mutual relationships of primary landscape structure (PLS), secondary landscape structure (SLS) and tertiary landscape structure (TLS). An elementary explanation of the relationships and roles of these structures in conflicts of interest is as follows.…”

Integrative Assessment of Land Use Conflicts

Changes in land use are reflected primary in changes of land cover, but subsequently cause conflict of interest of sectors and are the main initiation of many environmental problems. The basic tool for sustainable utilization of the landscape is integrated landscape management, which, in our understanding, is the environmentally biased harmonization of tools which regulate the spatial organization and functional utilization of the landscape to avoid the conflicts of interest of sectors. "Integrated" in this case means the systematic assessment of the interests of all relevant sectors from the environmental point of view. The scientific base of this approach is the understanding of the landscape as a geosystem, and, in particular, the proper interpretation of the mutual relations of primary, secondary and tertiary landscape structures and their role in the assessment of the conflicts of interest. This paper presents a theoretical and methodical base for the integrated approach to the assessment of the conflicts of interest of the sectors in the landscape. The theoretical-methodical base was applied to the model territory of the Trnava district (south-west Slovakia). Mutual conflicts of interest of endangering and endangered sectors cause diverse problems, which were ranked in three basic groups as: problems of endangering of the ecological stability of the landscape (including endangering of biodiversity and nature conservation areas); problems of endangering of natural resources (in particular forests, soils, waters); and, problems of endangering the immediate human environment (stress factors in residential and recreational areas). The result is the identification and analysis of the conflicts of interest in the territory and their projection to a map. This research should be followed by implementation of procedures of ecologically optimal spatial organization and utilization of the territory for regular spatial planning processes. of the GMTs are not yet completely known, as many have begun to manifest themselves in recent years. The relationships between individual GMTs raise a large number of questions, and there are still many deficiencies in the knowledge of their impact on the landscape.Several of these environmental global megatrends are initiated by inappropriate land use. According to Food and Agriculture Organization of the Unated Nations (FAO) information, up to 60% of the world's ecosystems are degraded and exploited unsustainably [5]. In the EU, only 17% of habitats and species and 11% of key ecosystems protected by European legislation show a favorable status [4][5][6]. This is despite the adoption of measures in 2001 to combat biodiversity loss. All scenarios of global and regional assessments show that biodiversity loss, degradation of ecosystems and threats to environmental conditions will continue or even accelerate [7]. Human activities, global population growth and changing consumption patterns are key factors responsible for this growing environmental burden, which primarily becomes evident ...
