Printed on acid-free paper Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Foreword The concept of landscape has been present in natural sciences since the times of Humboldt and Dokuchaev. The popularity of geographical research over holisti- cally perceived landscape has originated only during the early twentieth century, especially in the second half, since the relationship of the growing demand for comprehensive studies on rationalizing the natural resources management has resulted in the significant development of tools, techniques and methodologi- cal solutions. Advance of remote sensing technologies and growing popularity of geographic information systems techniques, accompanied with computer-assisted research process resulting in higher precision and clarity of results, collecting and processing of large data volumes, as well as overcoming a number of formerly existing barriers, such as barriers between studies in various scales, were of sig- nificant meaning. The applicable character of the contemporary landscape research is the domi- nant feature, although it is worth to mention that as early as the 1930s, Carl Troll, the author of landscape ecology definition, underlined the importance of practi- cal application of landscape studies especially for spatial planning, and promoted the use of aerial photographs in analysing the network of interrelated landscape components. The landscape, according to the definition presented in the European Landscape Convention (http://www.coe.int/EuropeanLandscapeConvention), is understood today as an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors. The landscape understood in such a way is analysed in its structural, dynamic and visual aspects. As determined on the website of International Association for Landscape Ecology (http://www. landscape-ecology.org), the research is focused mainly on: • the spatial pattern or structure of landscapes, ranging from wilderness to cities, • the relationship between pattern and process in landscapes, • the relationship of human activity to landscape pattern, process and change, • the effect of scale and disturbance on the landscape. v vi Foreword The landscape analysing and planning process is closely related to the concept of the landscape potential and productivity as well as ecosystem services con- cept being its extension. Its governing objective involves the sustainability of the development of the geographical environment treated as a system and ensuring an appropriate quality of human life in the landscape. This book presents recent advances in this field based on selected landscape studies conducted in the various scientific centers in ten countries. It has been divided into two sections, the first section is devoted to the landscape analysis, and the second to landscape planning. Presented are both methodology-related consid- erations as well as case studies. The works published in the book were presented and discussed during scien- tific sessions organized by the Commission of Landscape Analysis and Landscape Planning of the International Geographical Union (IGU) in the course of the Regional IGU Conference in Kraków, Poland, during 18–22 August 2014. We hope that this book will contribute to further increase of interest in landscape-oriented studies and will prove to be an inspiration for the development of new methodological solutions.
