Abstract

The landscape values and landscape potential can be the base of rural development. The long-term and balanced utilization of these opportunities is possible through sustainable landscape management. Several researches have clearly defined the correlation between social welfare and ecosystem services/landscape functions, but especially in case of the life quality of the rural population we consider the wide range and complexity of landscape
services extremely important.
