MEETING THEME
Landscape modelling has become a phenomenon studied from different points of view by all disciplines dealing with a landscape. This interest is motivated not only by the desire for scientific understanding to the matter, but also by the actual demands of the postindustrial society in the 21st century, which result from necessity to stabilize the damaged natural ecosystems on one hand, and to find effective ways of landscape exploitation on the other. In last decades, especially thanks to geoinformatic technologies, the new approaches to visualize and model a landscape have been offered to scientists. Primarily the social and political factors and no the natural ones represent the major driving forces of landscape change at all spatial and temporal scales (from the global level, through the european one, to the national, regional and local) and therefore these expect the innovation in landscape assessment.
