Integrated Natural Ressources Management

- a research line of the RG Applied Landscape ecology and ecological Planning

Aim of every strategy in environmental planning today is the sustainable and careful handling of landscape potentials and landscape ressources. Guided by the model of a "Integrated Natural Ressources Management" we continuously develop further classic approaches of ecologigal planning. We tend to find innovative answers to hot current topics such as "new energy landscapes", planetary exeedance of planetary boundaries, depletion of natural potentials of water, soil, air and biotic systems. As we see landscape as coupled human-environmental systems we integrate holistic aspects such as a better understanding of the man/environment relationship, environmental communication as well as the necessity to make complex systems better visible and understandable.
