1. Integration, integrated approach:
the basic questions

Integration, integrated approach: the basic questions
The Command of the present days,
but at the same time
a fashion,
a favorite theme for politicians
Does everybody know, what is it about?

Integrated approach: Why?
There is a scientific evidence:
The nature/landscape is an integrated system (geo-system)
A ll changes on one single element of this system cause changes on all other elements

We need to understand that
When you apply a good management for the watershed protection, you protect at the same time the biodiversity , the soil erosion, the water pollution from agriculture, the microclimate for conservation, you protect the erosion of the soil, the biodiversity .
When you apply a wrong management for the soil, you harm the water, the biota, etc.
The pressure of science: The integrated management is needed for a complex care of ecosystems

Agenda 21, Chapter 10: Integrated approach to the management of land resources
There is only one landscape in the same space – it is to be accepted by each sector.
Therefore an integrated approach is needed for its use.

Integrated approach: t he object
landscape
geosystem
ecosystem
watershed
territory
region
environment
THE SPACE
A material reality! The terms are only words!

What is the integration in the watershed management ? (A w ater manager ´s approach )
Water managers: more administrative approach:
complex approach to both the surface and groundwater
Of course ! Nothing new.
s olving problems in the whole hydrological watershed
Of course ! Nothing new .
i nvolving all stakeholders and the public to solve the problems
A new element of democracies !

What is the integration in the watershed management ? (A n ecologist`s approach )
T he ecologists criticize that the water managers concentrate on water ,
not to the vessel = the landscape,
where the water occures!
Landscape ecologists: scientific approach
Integration of all activities on the whole watershed !

T he o bject for integration? The the geosystem as a whole! Not its single elements!

Integrated approach: what to integrate? ? natural bodies – not possible ? land use form – not possible – all the forests, fields, constructions , industry, transport require the territory ? land use mode - limited ? physical management - limited – different sectors, owners, users What is possible to integrate?

The approach (a theorethical issue) – the policies
The use of similar argumentation and criteria for decision.
The integrated information system on the landscape
- should be the same for each sector
- based on GIS (INSPIRE)
The management tools =
The tools of organisation of the territory – the process chain of:
planning > projecting > regulation > control
Integrated approach: what to integrate?

2 . Institutional tools for integrated management
in Slovakia
The tools for spatial planning

Tools for spatial organisation = tools for integrated management
Competency of the Ministry of environment:
Nature conservation (territoria l), NATURA 2000
Landscape-ecological planning (?), econet planning
Management of the watersheds
Flood protection
IPPC - Integrated prevention and pollution control
Competency of other ministries:
Territorial planning (M of Development / Ministry of Environment)
Agricultural land arrangement (Ministry of Agriculture)
Forest management planning (Ministry of Agriculture)
PPÚ OP KP IMP ÚPN LHP FP

Integrated management of the natural resources: the goal
Integrated physical planning and management
must act as a
frame and basement
for each sectoral plan.

“ Government on the appropriate level … should:
Adopt planning and management systems that facilitate the integration of environmental components such as air, water, land and other natural resources, using landscape ecological planning (LANDEP) or other approaches that focus on, for example, ecosystem or a watershed.” ).

Integrated planning and management:
An integrated plan =
a frame plan on the optimal organisation and utilisation
of the territory for
all sectors and
for the whole territory
= What,
where, how ?

Basic problems of integrated and sectoral aproaches
Sectoral approach is very strong and prevailing
Resistance of the sectors (officers in the sectors) to be integrated under any over-sectoral concept/ planning/ decision-making process
Resistance of the sectoral plans (planners and designers) to accept the nature and landscape limitations as obligatory regulations
Resistance of the public and municipal authorities to the limits and obligations in favor of nature, landscape and the environment
Pressure of interest groups to decide in their favor
Different understanding of the concept of integration (rarely as the integrative decision on the use of whole landscape for each sector)

3 . Integration in planning processes
Case of Slovakia

The Act 7/2010 Z.z. on Flood Protection prescribes :
T he Landscape-ecological base of the integrated management of the landscape =
the integrated information system
Preventive measures for flood protection
The measures slowing the run-off , increase the retention, natural accumulation.
The measures act as obligatory regulatives
in territorial plans
The key element for integration:
the Territorial System of Ecological Stability TSES = bicorridors, biocentres, eco-stabilising measures

Provisions of the Act 7/2010 Z.z. on Flood Protection § 9 Coordination of the plan of the management of flood risk with the watershed management plan and with the other spatial planning
land arrangement projects ,
territorial plans
forest management plans ;
They alltogether will constitute the tool of integrated landscape management on the whole territory of the watershed .
plan of the flood risk management
watershed management plan
shall be coordinated with the

Scheme of the sequence in the integrated landscape management Management of the flood risk Integrated management of the watersheds National Water plan Watershed management
Integrated management of the protected area

4. Key messages and opportunities

Unified complex information system
based on GIS
Landscape plans
as legal, obligatory frame work and
obligatory measure for each sectoral plan
including
for water management plans.
Provisions of AGENDA 21

What, where and how? Where and how to use the land?

There is still a lot of work for all of us!!! Thank you for your attention!
