Possibilities for the application of geography to land use planning

Abstract

Participation in the creation of land use planning documentation and involvement into the land use planning process are one of the possibilities for geographers to assert themselves in practice. The objective of this contribution is to point out the common elements of geography and land use planning leaning upon their theoretical basis, to compare particular types of planning (land use planning, regional planning, landscape planning, strategic planning etc.) as well as their spatial levels (dimensions) and to outline possibilities for the assertion of the geographer in these dimensions
