Overcoming the Institutional Approach to Protection Through Landscape Modeling

In this paper we discuss that interdisciplinary approaches, which simultaneously comprise and adjust methodologies of different disciplines and which deal with landscape directly or indirectly, should be applied in the various spatial analyses. The challenge presented is to overcome the standardized approach to protection in order to achieve integral and generally accepted spatial development. This paper also argues that landscape modelling allows such an interdisciplinary approach, and provides the necessary conditions for the development and protection of existing and potential landscape qualities. The analysed example of landscape modelling in Croatia posits that the landscape vulnerability models in its scope embrace the values and facts of different disciplines with public values and aspirations, while embedding them into the analytical procedure. The positive outcome is seen as an improvement of the quality of the final decision of a land use plan. Also, it can be a helpful visualization tool enabling interfacing between experts and general public (Golobič, 2005). This paper shows that landscape vulnerability modelling can be used for landscape sensitivity assessments within a landscape character assessment (LCA) of the National Park Krka. Considering its recognized character and the possible changes of its landscape, the inclusion of any additional values can increase the quality of management guidelines
