RECREATION LAND USE IN TERMS OF WATER PROTECTION
- Maria Hlinkova, Rastislav Fijko
The landscape has a wide range of uses. The current era encourages urbanism and rapid development of cities, but it is necessary to think and leave space for recreational use as well. The development of green spaces not only creates heat islands, but also degrades the recreational potential of the landscape. A vegetated environment is more pleasant to people than a concrete jungle. Water areas fulfil several functions, among which we can also include the recreational function. The use of water areas is also related to their protection. As more and more land is covered with impermeable surfaces, such as roads, buildings, and pavements, there is a reduction in the natural infiltration and percolation of rainwater into the soil. This results in increased surface runoff, which can cause flooding and erosion, and also leads to a decline in the groundwater recharge. Overall, the rapid pace of urbanization is taking a toll on the environment and its components. It is important to find ways to balance the need for development with the preservation of nature, in order to ensure a sustainable future.
