Celostni pristop k upravljanju zemljišč na podeželju – zemljiški menedžment : Holistic Approach To Rural Land Management

SI: Zemljišča so bila že od nekdaj temelj človeškega obstoja. Njihova raba se je v zgodovini spreminjala. Prvotna raba tal se lahko opusti in zemljišča se lahko namenijo na primer kmetijski in gozdni pridelavi ali za urbane potrebe, rekreacijo, infrastrukturo itn. Dandanes imajo kljub hitri rasti mest zemljišča na podeželju prevladujoč delež glede na vsa kopenska zemljišča sveta. Toda obseg in intenzivnost različnih oblik degradacije zemljišč zahtevata njihovo smotrno upravljanje – ne le v mestih, ampak tudi na podeželju, kar je bilo v preteklosti pogosto zapostavljeno. Koncept upravljanja zemljišč (zemljiški menedžment) je širok izraz za dejavnosti, katerih namen je uresničiti cilje rabe določenih zemljiških virov. Samo upravljanje zemljišč je treba pri tem razumeti v širšem smislu, kjer velja poleg lastnosti zemljišč obravnavati okoljski, prostorski in družbeno-gospodarski pomen. Osnovni cilj tega članka je predstaviti sodobni pristop k upravljanju zemljišč na podeželju, tudi z vidika javnih institucij, katerih naloga je zagotoviti oziroma urejati smotrn razvoj zemljišč v skladu s smernicami trajnostnega razvoja. EN: Land has always been an important basis of human life. In history, the original use of land often changed. It could develop into arable land or cultivated forest, or it could be adapted to the needs of settlement, industrial, commercial, recreational or infrastructural purposes. Despite fast growing cities, the rural areas cover the majority of the whole continental areas today. However, the extent and intensity of different forms of land degradation show the need for suitable land management – not only in the cities but also in the countryside, which has often been neglected. The concept of land management is a comprehensive expression for the activities aiming to fulfil established goals for the use of certain land resources. The concept of land management has to be understood in a broader sense, which includes the land characteristics as well as the context of the environment, spatial situation and socio-economic background. The article aims to introduce an advanced approach to land management in the countryside from an essentially public point of view, where relevant institutions have to assure or guide suitable land development in accordance with the principles of sustainable development
