| Abstract [eng] |
In the era of massive urbanization and suburbanization, the urban fringe is no longer the clear line separating urban and rural or natural landscapes, but often the continuous fragmented mix of rural and urban features. These territories of rural-urban interface – rurban landscapes – have become the everyday living and working environment of the increasing number of people around the world including Lithuania. However, these landscapes are characterized by visual complication or suburban uniformity. This encourages looking at these rurban landscapes more carefully. The general object of this research is rurban landscapes which emerge as a consequence of the urban pressure on the countryside or as a part of rural-urban continuum. The Aim of the research is the development of understanding of global and local aspects of rurban landscapes and the formulation of the management guidelines for the areas of rural-urban interface while devoting major attention to rurban aesthetics research and modeling. This research revealed the present situation of rurban research, as well as presented the formulated research approach, definition and characterization of rurban landscapes; the analysis of local peculiarities of rurban landscapes by using the example of Lithuania was conducted; the classification of Lithuanian rurban landscapes was formulated; landscape analysis methodologies suitable for rurban areas with the major focus on landscape aesthetic research were reviewed; methodology for ecoaesthetic assessment and management guidelines of rurban landscapes were formulated. |
