Integrated Approach to the Management of the Landscape for the Implementation of the Danube Strategy

Abstract

The EU Strategy for the Danube Region represents a new form of territorial cooperation. Its ambition is to establish a mechanism of joint responsibility of the countries in the Danube Region for the economic and social development respecting the preservation of natural and cultural heritage. The Strategy is built on four basic pillars: connectivity, building of prosperity, strengthening of the Danube Region and protection of the environment. The Strategy declares the necessity of interdisciplinarity and integrated approach to building a sustainable development of the Region. The scientific base of such an integrated management concerning the landscape and environment is in general the geosystem approach to the landscape, the managerial basement is the harmonisation of the development of the society with the natural, socio-economic and cultural-historical potential of landscape. The integration of both these bases needs a proper system of mutually complementary scientific methods and their implementation to the institutional tools convenient for the Danube Region. The goal of the article is to outline the possibilities for joining/implementation of scientific methods through legally supported tools to integrated landscape management and regional development.

Temporal Aspect of the Terrestrial Invertebrate Response to Moisture Dynamic in Technosols formed after Reclamation at a Post-Mining Site in Ukrainian Steppe Drylands

“…The estimation of optimal level of an ecological factor for species living activity and its tolerance to such a factor could be made in many different ways (Izakovičová et al, 2020). A weighted mean can give unbiased assessment subject to symmetrical form of the species response.…”

Conflicts of the Land Use and Ecosystem Services in the Riverine Landscape of the Little Danube

“…The LEC contains the whole: abiotic base, land cover, and biota, and even SEFs (if they occur in situ) [42,51]. The spatial framework-the boundary in space-for this integration is usually the mapping unit of the type of current landscape structure (CLS), which can be considered as the ecosystem type [52][53][54][55][56].…”
