The aim of this study is to compare the differences between of projected proposals and implemented elements of the common facilities within the complex land consolidation in South Bohemian Region. For this study we selected these test KPU: Smetanova Lhota, Řípec, Žíšov and Ratibořské Hory. On these k.ú. conducted a detailed analysis of the plan joint projects and after-terrain reconnaissance. Based on this reconnaissance was found that most of the proposed measure has not yet been realized. This applies mainly honorary networks. Another problem is that it often leads to the neglect of conservation.

This case study describes the method of process landscaping by example of a project in which the business processes of a company from the residential trade and industry were analyzed regarding their mobile potential. This analysis was conducted with the aim to organize these processes more efficiently in order to realize cost savings. Therefore a verification was required, whether the use of mobility supporting technology is suitable to obtain this goal and which professional requirements such a solution needs to fulfil. For that purpose, it is shown how the initial situation was analyzed, which alternative solutions on the basis of mobility supporting technology were developed and how these alternatives were economically evaluated. Furthermore, it is shown how first restrictions for the software and system design were made on the basis of one alternative. The method of Mobile Process Landscaping refers to the stage of requirements engineering in the software process.

A look into established planning activities, as housing, transportation, economic development, parks and recreation, indicates that there is a missing layer of actions created exclusively from the point of view and the care of the physical environment. At the same time research exists in ethics, ecology and alternative cultural frameworks which points to a level of planning to assume responsibility for the land, a level by which beliefs, values and knowledge systems will be visibly manifest in a distinctive form of the physical environment. I will call this level the Plans for Regional Landscape Structure (PRLS). The planning process has not been revised in a way to capture the maximum possible benefits from interdisciplinary studies. While discrete restrictive provisions exist, overall the United States lacks an active strategy at the national level to conserve biodiversity and sustain healthy ecosystems. This research looks at a continuum from philosophical research in ethnomethodology, ethics, theology, to planning methods and design praxis, so that beliefs, values and knowledge systems will be visibly manifest in a distinctive form of the physical environment. The research contributes to filling the void in planning by proposing the creation of Plans for Regional Landscape Structure (PRLS). These plans are developed specifically from the point of view of the environment and for the care of the physical environment. These plans are designed to be spatially comprehensive and temporally preceding other plans for development. The PRLS is a strategy set at the national level, whose implementation would occur in a multi-scale, hierarchical, iterative process. The PRLS is a four level process that: (1) identifies key, place-determined features, (2) compares alternative networks of connections, (3) establishes a main frame to protect, and (4) evaluates the remaining, surrounding matrix for areas where future change might occur. An application of the PRLS is illustrated by a series of maps of the Six Nations Indian Reserve on the Grand River in Ontario, Canada. The study looks at the Six Nations Indian Reserve/Grand River Territory to develop coherent actions with respect to the territory, to repair and strengthen ecological integrity, to increase the quality of visual image and to reinforce cultural identity of the landscape

Pollinators provide key ecological services. With one-third of our global food production dependent on pollinators, maintaining healthy pollinator communities is vital. Bees are the most pervasive and effective pollinator species, yet are currently declining worldwide, with the main cause linked to habitat loss. To combat this decline, researchers are turning to suburban landscapes to aid in pollinator conservation. Incorporating native plants into suburban landscapes has been shown to benefit pollinators. However, there is a lack of information on how different landscape designs and growing conditions influence pollinator communities. To better understand whether native plants can effectively improve suburban pollinator habitats, this research asked: 1) how does irrigation and soil composition influence the availability of floral resources, 2) which plants attract the greatest number and diversity of pollinators, and 3) how do native vs non-native landscape designs impact a residential neighborhood’s ability to support pollinator communities? Using 27 different native plant species that were subjected to a combination of irrigation and compost treatments, we examined plant-pollinator interactions in 16 fully replicated and randomized experimental plots. Additionally, we compared the pollinator communities of two newly developed neighborhoods - one using traditional, non-native plants and the other incorporating native plants into their landscape design. Pollinators were sampled during the spring, summer, and fall of 2022-2023 through visual counts of pollinators visiting open flowers. Blooming flowers for each plant species were counted concurrently to determine floral abundance. Compost addition at planting greatly increased both floral and pollinator abundance over two years, but regular irrigation did not have a clear impact. Native-based landscapes had significantly higher pollinator abundance and diversity when compared to traditional landscape designs. The results of this study show the benefits of incorporating native plants into suburban landscapes and their potential for supporting both water conservation and pollinator communities.
