The aim of this publication is to increase students' knowledge and skills on land-scape protection and planning with connection to legał reąuirements at EU, International and state level. The book is addressed to students from every course, not only to landscape architects. Landscape is understood as a synthesis of natural, cultural and visual environment. This definition indicates that terms 'landscape1 and 'environment' arę very much alike. Contents of this textbook covers selected crucial issues what every landscape planner, student and graduate should know about landscape protection and shaping.
The book presents original authors' approach to landscape meaning and planning. Landscape protection is understood not only as setting up protected areas or objects (for example national parks, landscape parks, natural reserves, monuments of culture etc.) but also as rational use and planning of the whole landscape. The ecological as-pects of landscape protection and planning in urban and rural areas have been specially emphasised as crucial ones in era of sustainable development. Planning or shaping of landscape means giving function to areas and giving defined features to landscape elements. Original approach to landscape planning and shaping has been presented as a set of principles of landscaping with special regard to natural values and biological diversity protection and building of green infrastructure at every level of management.
