| Abstract [eng] |
The Lithuanian nature frame is a unique national network of ecological compensation areas, occupying the largest part (about 65%) Lithuania’s territory. It maintains balance and relations between protected and valuable areas and ensures the ecological balance of the country’s landscape. The ecological network which relates to the natural frame structure connects habitations and migratory corridors. Work problem – Lithuanian nature frame concept is not well regulated by law and because of its isolation often leads to problems in spatial planners. The aim – to analyze and evaluate the application priciples of the Lithuanian nature frame. The following tasks have been formulated to achieve aim: to review the European ecological networks and the Lithuanian nature frame, to analyze the land’s use in the nature frame, to review the Lithuanian nature frame formation in Lithuania, to evaluate Lithuanian nature frame’s principles of eduction and prospects of development in Lithuania. The work consists of four main sections: in the first is discussed about the European ecological network formation characteristic, assumptions of nature frame formation and the role of forests. In the second chapter are analyzed national laws and land use of nature frame territories. In the third – the overview of the Lithuanian nature frame territores planning and administration. The fourth section is to evaluate the Lithuanian nature frame’s shape and prospects of doing qualitative research – interviews of experts and the results representative of the weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats (SWOT) matrix. At the end are formed conclusions, are drawn up proposals and recommendations, are listed references, summary in Lithuanian and English and appendix. After analyzing the data and after the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities (SWOT) analysis was found out that it is necessary to inform the public in understable form, since there is a growing threat of urbanization control over the geo-ecological sensitive habitats, as well as there is need to manage land-use planning documents detailing the natural frame of the lower level, depending on the characteristics and needs of the territory, as well as creating a special natural frame molding projects and financial incentives for land users to do it. In summary the hypothesis has been proved to be correct and prepared nature frame exclusion criteria are rather abstract and problematic. |
