The research project entitled as Implementation of the European Landscape Convention measures within intensively utilised landscapes that bear traces of historical landscape design activities – pilot study “Nové Dvory – Kačina” tried, inter alia, to raise general public and expert community awareness of active cultural landscape protection.

The project aimed at developing new tools for integrated cultural landscape protection and management and it was carried out by the Silva Tarouca Research Institute for Landscape and Ornamental Gardening, a public research institution (VÚKOZ) Průhonice, Faculty of Science, Charles University Prague and other bodies. The final output of the project finished in 2011 is a proposal for target landscape characterization. The article presents methodological steps and results towards the target landscape characterization which as assumed as a long-term strategic vision of landscape management, supporting the European Landscape Convention implementation. The contribution also describes relations with previous analytical steps in carrying out the project. In the Czech Republic, the proposed target landscape characterization is an impulse for developing a new strategic background for land-use/physical planning, land replotting and consolidation, nature conservation, monument care, etc. More detailed information on the research is available at http://www.projektkacina.estranky.cz/.
