It devises methodology for integrated landscape management as a basic tool for the implementation of its sustainable development in actual practice. The main objective of this case study is to define the socio-economic and environmental problems, to design measures to eliminate these problems and/or to prevent new problems arising. The ultimate goal is to achieve management practices which are in harmony with this area¡¯s potential, to the greatest possible extent. Thus, basic principles are applied to landscape-ecological optimization of landscape organisation, including nature protection, biodiversity, landscape stability and the protection of its natural resources. These involve its water and soil and the air/atmosphere in its forests. The protection of its cultural-historical resources is extremely important, including, inter alia, the protection of cultural monuments, protection of historical landscape structures and protection of the entire environment %K sustainable development %K landscape management %K natural resources %K Ipel river basin %U http://georeview.ro/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/53
