“…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. While this creates greater demand for experts, this is often negated by insufficient allocation of financial resources.…”

Long-Term Land Use Changes Driven by Urbanisation and Their Environmental Effects (Example of Trnava City, Slovakia)

2017

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.

“…Intensive agriculture on arable land on steep slopes and on shallow soils causes erosion. This problem is to be solved urgently by acceptance of projects for land consolidation, which also include a proposal for a local territorial system of ecological stability; this is, in fact, a detailed proposal for landscape greenery, which provides complex eco-stabilizing functions, including protection against erosion [99][100][101]. (d) Production of pollution: most typical are air pollution, which influences the residential and recreational areas, and water pollution, which endangers the water quality both of surface and underground water.…”

Integrative Assessment of Land Use Conflicts

2018

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 ...

This article represents the calculation of long-term average annual soil loss using the universal soil loss equation (USLE) in the Myjava river catchment. The loss of soil will be assessment in light of the size of land (in the categories: 30, 10 -20, 5 -10 ha) and slope area (in the categories: less than 3°, 3° -7°, 7° -12° and above such as 12°). There is a Slovakian technical standard: recommended dimensions and size land on the arable land with anti-erosion protection soil. The model area of the catchment is located in the western part of Slovakia, with an area of 729 km2 (the extent of arable land prevails in the study area -41 %, forests -35 %, grassland -8 %). Based on this standard, the size of arable land should be designed to meet these criteria. Model catchment will be evaluated on the basis of these criteria according to the Slovak Technical Standard. The current situation will be described.
