| Abstract | When elaborating concepts of landscape development designed to provide longterm environmental sustainability, the key issue at stake comprises competing land use claims to the area concerned (i.e. multifunctional land use). These conflicting aims compete for the area’s natural resources and functions. The starting-point for researching landscape assessment is that every landscape must simultaneously fulfil regulation, production, carrier and information functions to differing extents, and this can lead to land use conflicts. By analyzing these conflicts, environmental problems can be identified. In the view of the Department of Applied Landscape Ecology at the UFZ Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig-Halle, special attention needs to be paid to maintaining and restoring regulation functions. Nevertheless, other functions must not be neglected. Indicators must be introduced so that functions can be measured and monitored. Therefore, interest is primarily directly towards methods which consider a number of different functions simultaneously. |
