Landscape Development

Trockenmauer bei Scuol

Landscapes are continually changing. These changes occur on a large scale at a slow pace. At WSL we are investigating their causes and the effects they have on humans and the environment. This research provides a sound scientific basis for selecting measures to protect the values and resources of existing landscapes.

In focus

Research programme Room for People and Nature
Spatial Demands

What are the effects of the ongoing periurban development on landscape qualities that are important for the quality of life of the inhabitants and for biodiversity? What conflicts will be likely to arise about the required space? The programm focusses on the land outside the urbanised areas where the most intensive development is to be expected. The research programme will be organized and conducted in close cooperation with professionals in the field of planning and administration.
