Landscape planning to protect environmental values

Abstract

The evolution of agricultural sector caused a considerable decreasing of natural areas. Those areas gave a peculiar appearance to heterogeneous landscape; the areas still naturally intact are not sufficient to develop a connection between the various typologies of landscape. We are striving to keep together the use of natural resources and their safeguard: the European Community too is helping an ecocompatible agriculture with effective financial instruments. In order of this we tried to find the best agronomic techniques and a plan design including and giving an answer to those more complex and broadreaching development impacts on both urban dwellers and natural environment, increased sophistication and understanding of the need to protect environmental and landscape values. Landscape planning with those new goals require more steps and details than never, and we explain it in two different experiences.
