The landscape, our environment

Year, pages: 1985, 277 - 286

In landscape ecology various points of view can be taken. Geocentric, biocentric and anthropocentric standpolnts are used. In anthropogenic landscape ecology the attention is especially devoted to the relations between the human needs and the potentlals (functlons) of the landscape. These relations are not only a matter of food production, public health, economic development, exhausting or protection of natural resources, ( = using the supportlng, production and reguiating functlons of the landscape), they include the „nootic“ links between the landscape and its human residents as well. In this páper speciál attention is paid to the need for protection and preservation of landscapes for the sake of maintaining their „Information values“.
