New Elements in the Landscape of the Pavlovské Vrchy Hills

Abstract

The benefits of land consolidations for improving the ecological stability and recreational potential of agricultural landscapes are now well known. In this process, space for the design and implementation of soil, water and environment conservation measures (e.g., grassing, strip cropping, balks, tree belts, water reservoirs, …) is created. Land consolidation plans supported by the government can provide conditions for improving quality of life in rural areas. Protected area Pálava (Pavlovské vrchy hills) is sought after by tourists from the Czech Republic and abroad. The habitats of rare ecosystems on the slopes of hills with beautiful limestone rock formations are the subject of protection. The elements of plan of common facilities designed as a part of the simple land consolidation in Perná have potential to contribute to an increase the recreational attraction of this area.
