Regional Landscape Planning: Long Term Processes
Relation local, regional,
global
– Region is characterized
• By smaller local units
• By larger global unit
– Regional (local, global) state
• (infa-) structure within the
region
– Regional (local, global) use
• Economy
• Ecology
• Quality of life

Regional Landscape Planning: Long Term Processes
Long-, medium-, short- term processes
• Processunderstanding of Landscape
– Long term > 100 years steps of change
– Medium term < 100 years, > 1 year changes
– Short term < 1 year processes

Regional Landscape Planning: Long Term Processes
Landscape & Time
• Landscape is dynamic
– Arena for all processes
– Landscape changes continously
• State and Use
– Longer processes generate the „state“ (Structure
Infrastructure) for the „use“ in shorter processes
– What is state and what is use depends on our interest
• Human Understanding of Landscape Processes
– Long term processes are perceived as stable/non dynamic
– Medium term processes depend on long term processes,
generate (infra-) structure for human beings
– Short term processes describe human actions within a year

Evaluate Your Task(s) within
Landscape Horticulture
• What spatial scales are relevant for me?
– Making obvious where I stand and how far I want to
reach others.
• What time periods for planning and
management are under consideration?
– Explain how long you think into the future.
• Who shares and supports my interests?
– With whom you can join to make a larger impact.
