Contribution of the Landscape Character/Scenery Preventative Assessment in the Protected Landscape A
The landscape character/scenery preventive assessment significantly supports the State Nature Conservancy authorities when preserving the landscape character/scenery.
Such assessments provide basic information on the specific human settlement and landscape characteristics and demonstrate by evidence spatial and functional patterns within the area.They should establish a subsidiary background for Protected Landscape Area (PLA) administrations and other State Nature Conservancy authorities, particularly when issuing permits pursuant to Articles 12 and 44 of Act No. 114/1992 Gazette on the Protection of Nature and the Landscape, as amended later, drafting Specially Protected Area Management Plans and setting restrictions in Nature Park land use, which would destroy, damage or disturb conservation status of the respective area, structural landscape character/scenery preservation as well as framework conditions for intended interventions to landscape character/scenery before developing design or other documentation of the builders intention. For PLAs, the assessments were carried out in 1995–2008. At present, the oldest assessments are being updated. The assessments particularly support the State Nature Conservancy authorities by providing them with territorial data in nature conservation and landscape protection as a background for elaborating planning documentation. Data gained for assessments can also be used for negotiations on territorial/physical or regulatory plans and on changes in them.
