Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to introduce students to landscape and landscape planning in different processes and phases of planning. The course will introduce the genesis of our landscape, the ways and forms of human influence on the landscape before and now, in the post-agrarian and post-industrial era, which are necessary for understanding the laws and processes occurring in today's landscape. Students are encouraged to look independently at the landscape, to search for its natural, cultural, historical and civilizational values. They are introduced to the forms and possibilities, mainly legislative, of its protection and to the various ways of landscape planning, including the application of land-use planning tools in the protection and creation of the landscape, with emphasis on respect for the ecological, productive, residential, recreational and aesthetic aspects of the territory.
