The management of grassland areas through the correct use of these areas is reflected in the qualitative and quantitative increase in plant production per unit area, the increase of the animal product and the better protection of the environment. The national agricultural context of Romania requires the existence of a Management Plan for each area of grassland and its concession to farmers for a period of up to 10 years. This study was conducted for an area of 945 hectares of grasslands under the protection of the...

The report is dealing with the categorization of the agricultural landscape. Present classificatory systems of the landscape were analysed as the source material hereby, in preference, were soil, geographic and production specifics of individual Slovak region considered. On the background of vector data on extension of the soil-ecological regions of Slovakia using geographic information systems, it was possible to detach five types of agricultural landscape on the base of real production parameters of the individu...

Contemporary life is characterized by a state of continuous change and that?s why standard solutions are no longer the key to all problems. Like many other fields, architecture seeks new alternatives to overcome the challenges we are facing on daily basis. Sustainability is one of the many issues that concern us, trying to solve some of the problems that globalization generates. On this line, one of the directions is a definition of architecture as landscape: topographical architecture. Topographical architecture ...

The direct field observations and processing the info-graphic support (satellite images, thematic maps, profiles, digital images of the area) led to the preparation of this paper and realization of the proposal rehabilitation measures of anthropogenic landforms generated by coal mining activities in Petrosani Basin. These are exemplified by analyzing the Petrila 2 East dump (the Eastern end of the Basin) and Campu lui Neag coal pit (in the Western end of the Basin). The landscape of Petrosani Basin is transformed ...

In this publication were presented the methods of designing the natural cultural skeleton areal structure of a set of certain landscape elements. The methods are based on extrapolation the statements of island biogeography conception to the field of conservation planning of the territory. The sites of wetlands located on the areas of ?wild nature? were taken in the capacity of areal elements. The methods suggest the formation of an optimal protective zone around every wetland. The size of the protective zone can b...

The Step Pyramid complex of Djoser in Saqqara visible today is a reconstruction performed by the main excavator, a French architect Jean-Philippe Lauer, who reconstructed key portions of the complex in the area of 15 ha. However, reconstructed walls, columns and other structures substantially differ in contrast from the Step pyramid itself, its architecture and system of underground tunnels. The existing structure is also not indicating the necessity of numerous attempts to rebuild the pyramid and most likely repr...

The mapping of the archaeological sites from different historical periods and the analysis of their location over the landscape give us the opportunity to obtain an overall picture of human settlement on the territory in times past. A region located in the valley of the river Ortolyk (South-Eastern Altai, Russia) was selected as an example. In order to analyse landscape location of the archaeological sites the archaeological and landscape maps were created by use of the program ArcGIS 10.1. The cartographic method...
