Abstract

The aim of the management guidelines for naturally protected areas is to harmonize the needs of land and other users versus state, judiciary, scientific and sociological requirements regulating nature conservation. However limiting orders do not help economical production, so the assessment and analysis of these conflicts is elementaiy for functioning of a naturally protected area. Our first approximation was a countrywide estimation to outline the less appropriate areas for agricultural production and then to demonstrate steps of local applicability of globally formulated aims and requirements of nature protection with analyzing a real target area. The analyses provide new information for arrangement and treatment proposals to promote sustainable development of landscape and to harmonize values between nature conservation and agricultural interests.
