“…Slovakia, however, has well-developed landscape-ecological planning for environmental issues, where landscape plans and ecological network documents integrate evaluation of spatial and functional land use and harmonise the landscape-ecological, cultural-historical and socio-economic conditions of the area [113,114]. While documents in land consolidation and planning processes are legally binding [115,116], the quality and implementation of such integrated documents are often limited due to their complexity.…”

Similar to other post-communist countries, Slovakia has undergone significant changes in the last decades-largely through transformation of central planning into a market economy. Unfortunately, this process has been associated with increasing pressure on surrounding ecosystems and their individual components. These changes are subject to various influences, e.g., socio-economic, political and environmental; in addition, urbanisation has also had great influence. This is typified by conversion of productive agricultural land and semi-natural ecosystems into built-up area accompanied by the negative ecological impacts of habitat deterioration and fragmentation. The rapidly changing consumption patterns of luxury living, transportation and leisure have increased the negative consequences on ecosystems and these compound the negative environmental trends. This paper evaluates land use changes in Trnava, which is one of the most rapidly developing cities in Slovakia. Evaluation covers 1838-2015, with explicit emphasis on transformation over the last 25-30 years. We present comparison with developments since 1990 in other cities in Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Germany and then discuss the main processes and environmental problems related to these changes, concentrating on the sustainability of current trends and appropriate planning and management responses.

“…Concept of TSES changes the 'classic' idea of the nature conservation based on the division of the landscape to protected and non-protected areas towards a system that maintains the ecological stability of the whole territory by an ecologically suitable spatial structure of the landscape even in the case that it is exploited in different -even in intensive -way.

The paper is aimed at evaluating the creation of territorial systems of ecological stability in two neighbouring countries - Slovakia and Poland. The paper evaluates various initiatives and approaches and their positives and negatives. It represents methodical approaches to the creation of territorial systems of ecological stability as well as the legal provision of ecological networks in both countries. The outcome of the evaluation is the proposal for the necessary measures to improve the situation.

Abstract:The most frequent natural disasters in Slovakia are related to climatic events, in particular to the sudden intensive rains, quick run-off and unbalanced water regime. They induce soil erosion and accumulation, flash floods, landslides, overwhelming waterlogging and also draught. Since these events have an impact throughout the whole landscape -the forest, agricultural and urban landscape, which are under the management of different sectors, the integration of the sectoral planning tools for the mitigation of their consequences is inevitable. Integration is a difficult process of dual character: it requires the development of landscape-ecological methods applicable to land management tools on one side and the creation of legal provisions ensuring the transfer of those scientific principles to legislation, on the other side. This paper deals with both sides of this process in Slovakia.Key words: Landscape, mitigation, geosystem, spatial planning, legal tools Abstrakt: Inštitucionálne nástroje integrovaného manažmentu krajiny na Slovensku na zmiernenie dopadov klimatických zmien a iných prírodných hrozieb.Najčastejšie prírodné hrozby na Slovensku sú spojené s klimatickými zmenami, najmä s náhlymi intenzívnymi zrážkami, rýchlym odtokom a nevyrovnaným vodným režimom. Tieto spôsobujú eróziu a akumuláciu pôdy, prívalové povodne, zosuvy pôdy, nadmerné zamokrenie, taktiež vysychanie. Tieto udalosti prebiehajú v celej krajine -v lesoch, v poľnohospodárskej aj urbánnej krajine. Krajinu však manažujú rôzne odvetvia, preto na zmiernenie dopadov klimatických zmien je nevyhnutná integrácia odvetvových plánovacích nástrojov. Integrácia je zložitý proces duálneho charakteru -vyžaduje jednak vývoj krajinno-ekologických metód aplikovateľných do manažmentových nástrojov, jednak vypracovanie zákonných ustanovení, ktoré zabezpečia prenos vedeckých princípov do legislatívy. Článok predstavuje obe stránky tohoto procesu na príklade Slovenska.
