Free space protection
Protection of open spaces is a relatively new regional planning term (not landscape planning ), which only appeared in the 1970s in connection with the environmental reorientation of spatial planning . It corresponds to a specific concept of open space in the sense of the spatial planning law , which clearly differs from the concept of open space in open space and landscape planning. It describes the undeveloped and unsealed areas within the settlement area . The protection of open spaces refers to the supra-local distribution of room functions and uses and can therefore be functionally differentiated:
- Protection of open spaces serves nature conservation , which is about ensuring the functionality of the ecological system.
- However, the protection of open spaces also serves the near-natural use of space, which is largely compatible with the basic function of the open space (e.g. agriculture, forestry, fishing)
- Protection of open space continues to mean the protection of open space for a decent city. Thus, contrary to nature conservation in landscape planning, the protection of open spaces goes beyond the protection of the natural foundations of life and the design of the place and landscape, in that it also includes the social and cultural needs for open space. It is therefore not necessarily restricted to areas that are determined by vegetation.
The task of protecting open spaces requires, due to the ambiguity of the term, a weighing up of the individual objects of protection.
Types of free space protection
- Quantitative protection of free space = preservation of the proportion of free space in the total space
- Structural protection of free space = preservation of sufficiently large and therefore functional parts of free space (no fragmentation and fragmentation)
- Qualitative protection of open spaces = improvement and development of open space functions
