During the last decades, landscape ecology has developed tremendously. It concerns both the theoretical basis and practical application. The authors follow a hierarchical approach that is inherent in landscape structures and processes as well as in planning practice. They show first approaches for the inclusion of factors of the landscape balance into planning procedures and new methods (GIS-coupled modeling, remote sensing) combined with more classical approaches from the basis of landscape assessment. Approaches for multicriterial landscape assessments are also presented. The overall target is to give recommendations for sustainable landuse and management. Each chapter concludes with a synthesis of the theme under discussion. Ideas concerning the state of the art are integrated as well as future trends in research. All methodological approaches are explained, with examples from differing regions.

Bereits im Titel "Regionalisierung in der Landschaftsokologie" werden zwei Be griffe verwendet, uber deren Definition und Bedeutung in der Fachliteratur teil weise kontrovers diskutiert wird. Zum Begriff sowie zu Methoden der Regionali sierung sind in diesem Band zahlreiche Beitrage zusammengestellt, so dass an die ser Stelle darauf nicht eingegangen werden soll. Angesichts der interdisziplinaren Zusammensetzung dieser Wissenschaftsdisziplin, wird die Landschaftsokologie zu einem schillernden Begriff mit vielfaltigen Inhalten. Beispiele hierfur geben die folgenden Definitionen: "Landscape ecology is a young branch of modern ecology that dealth with the interrelationship between man and his open and built up landscapes . . . . . . . . . La- scape ecology evolved in central Europe as a result of the holistic approach ad opted by geographers, ecologists, landscape planners, designers, and managers in their attempt to bridge the gap between natural, agricultural, human, and urban systems. "( NAVEH UND LIEBERMANN 1994) "Landschaftsokologie ist der Fachbereich, der sich mit den Wechselwirkungen der Faktoren des Landschaftsokosystems beschaftigt. . . . . . . Die Vielfalt der - trachtungs- und Untersuchungsaspekte der Landschaft wird von verschiedenen Fachbereichen erforscht. Diese Fachbereiche haben unterschiedliche Interes senspharen und konnen deswegen, wie auch aus methodischen Grunden, immer nur mehr oder weniger umfassende Teilausschnitte des Landschaftsokosystems untersuchen. " (LESER 1991) "Landscape ecology explores how a heterogeneous combination of ecosystem- such as woods, meadows, marshes, corridors and villages -is structured, functi ons, and changes."
