FUNKČNĚ-ESTETICKÉ HODNOCENÍ KRAJINY

Abstract

Functional and aesthetical evaluation of landscape was used in the framework of Project QF4061 Landscape Plan of a Microregion in connection with the proposal of landscape measures to be taken in an important watercourse. As a part of the project the methodology of functional and aesthetical evaluation of landscape was defined as a method of landscape spatial planning. The methodology consists in the creation of landscape “matrix” as a landscape network of a definite size. The criteria of evaluation of the particular squares of this landscape matrix were defined in the framework of methodology. The defined criteria are not invariable, but they are always related with the type of landscape to be evaluated. By the attribution of scores according to the defined criteria to the particular squares of landscape matrix these squares may be compared in a simple way. Such evaluation provides some categories of the aesthetic value of landscape that define the functional and aesthetic landscape spaces. Applying the result of this evaluation and other knowledge of the landscape we will get a more comprehensive view on landscape. The functional and aesthetic evaluation of landscape may substantially contribute to the more complex understanding of a given territory in which landscape measures are to be proposed in subsequent project documentation. The methodology is simple and easily feasible in practice.
