| ECOTOUR - Integrácia poskytovania vybraných služieb ekosystémov pre spoločenský dopyt z hľadiska rozvoja udržateľných foriem cestovného ruchu | |
| Integration of supply of selected ecosystem services for societal demand in terms of developing sustainable forms of tourism | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Krnáčová Zdena, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The scientific aim of the project is the development and creation of new methods of evaluation of cultural, selected regulating and supporting services of ecosystems using quantification techniques, such as landscape supplies for demand in terms of development of sustainable forms of tourism. From a methodological point of view, we will use several methods, like the Spreadsheet-Type method (Burkhard et al., 2009, 2014, Mederly et al., 2019, Nuegarten et al., 2018, Maes, 2012b, 2013) as a basis and assess the degree of hemerobia and landscape-ecology importance of landscape cover according to authors Krnáčová, Barančok, Pavličková (2018), where we evaluate the biophysical characteristics of elements. This methodology allows to design a suitable and sensitive type of tourism. The project also includes a comparison of the historical use of the landscape with the current condition and the determination of the degree of changes in landscape diversity and biodiversity (Maes et al., 2015). |

| Výskum biokultúrnych hodnôt krajiny | |
| Research of biocultural values of landscape | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Dobrovodská Marta, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Recently is increasing interest in research that can define habitats and landscape created by human culture and can determine ways that society uses to shape up its natural environment and is also shaped up by it (UNESCO 2007). Also is increasing demand for ensuring diversity in every dimension of life and its inclusion to political agenda. This requires revision of current strategy of biodiversity protection, which often omits highly rated areas in manused landscape and mostly focuses on protection of natural landscape. New concept of “biocultural diversity”, which points to connection between biological and cultural dimension of landscape, their interactions, connections, common development, threats and correlation with social and economical development of society, allows this change. The goal of the pilot project is to bring new qualitative and quantitative findings during the evaluation of connection between biological and cultural diversity and to define new principles of its protection. |

| RÚSES - Regionálny územný systém ekologickej stability okresov Bratislava, Trnava, Malacky, Pezinok, Gelnica | |
| Regional Territorial Systems of Ecological Stability - districts of Bratislava, Trnava, Malacky, Pezinok, Gelnica | |
| Program: | Other projects |
| Project leader: | Prof. RNDr. Izakovičová Zita, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Regional Territorial Systems of Ecological Stability - ÚKE SAV in cooperation with the UK in Bratislava, UKF in Nitra, TU in Zvolen and with the company ESPRIT participates in the elaboration of regional territorial systems of ecological stability. ÚKE SAS participates in the elaboration of 5 regional territorial systems of ecological stability - the districts of Malacky, Pezinok, Trnava, Gelnica and Bratislava. This year, we focused on the processing of the current landscape structure, which will be the basis for the spatial specification of habitats, and subsequently the elements of the TSES framework, as well as the identification of stress factors. |

| ECOMODELTUR - Hodnotenie kultúrnych ekosystémových služieb krajiny na báze krajinnoekologických výskumov pre ekologické modely rozvoja cestovného ruchu | |
| The evaluation of cultural ecosystem services countries on a basis of landscape research for the ecological model of tourism development | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Krnáčová Zdena, PhD. |
| Annotation: | Scientific objective of the project is the creation and application of new quantitative methods for assessing ecosystem services of cultural landscapes. Starting from the evaluation of landscape ecological significance (LES) elements LAND COVER by biodiversity, ecosystems aesthetic value (EAV), cultural-historical significance of cultural heritage (CHAS). The basis is the mapping of the actual state and characteristics of the elements of the current landscape cover (LAND COVER) of the urban environment of Bratislava, which we processed under the legend CORINE Land Cover Technical Quide - Addendum 2000 (Bossard, Feranec, Oťahl, 2000) on 3rd, 4th, and 5th hierarchical level. The representation of the landscape cover classes is processed in vector form, resulting from the synthesis of the thematic and relevant layers contained in the ZB GIS, supplemented by a licensed current installation derived from orthophotomaps from aeronautical imaging. 2015 (EUROSENSE, s.r.o.2015). These were complemented by a terrain research in 2014-2017, 2018. This year we processed 8 cadastres within the model territory of Bratislava. The aim is the proposal of diversified ecological forms and species of tourism (ECOTUR), which take into account the ecosystems benefits and the social value of the original habitats and cultural-historical objects. Part of the ECOTUR models will be the elaboration of measures and regulatives with possibility implementation in strategy documents. |

| Zelená infraštruktúra Slovenska | |
| Green Infrastructure of Slovakia | |
| Program: | VEGA |
| Project leader: | RNDr. Moyzeová Milena, PhD. |
| Annotation: | The concept of green infrastructure, the same as the territorial systems of ecological stability, is aimed at the progressive transition from the black-and-white division of the country to the protected and unprotected parts, to an all-area differentiated system preserving ecologically convenient landscape structure with different ways of use. Hence, the aim of the proposed Green Infrastructure and mitigation of the negative effects of its barriers is conservation and support to biodiversity and diversity of Slovakia’s landscape and provision for their beneficial effects on the surrounding ecologically less stable parts of the country, support to variants of multifunctional land use with the aim to protect individual components of the environment, conservation of important landscape |
