Preface

ic, and applied needs.

Creating a new green area and protecting, preserving, and extending the existing ones are necessary means of combating the action of pollutants and improving people's living envi‐ ronment. If a person wants to be an environmentally responsible being, he or she must do more than others. It is a matter of taking the case alone and making the words to action. There is no doubt that we as a society today face some new and complex environmental challenges. These challenges concern us all—as individuals, governors, and communities. As a community, we want to take our share of responsibility and help solve these environ‐ mental challenges. It may seem like a big mouthful for us. Nevertheless, we are determined to do our best. Continuous studies indicate that the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2, is a contributing factor to global warming and climate change. These environmental issues can have severe consequences for the world we know today. To transform a place from an underdeveloped area into an attractive, functional external area, requires an accomplished landscape provider. Just as the creator has to remark on the visual potential and practical issues an outer space offers, the landscape entrepreneur must have originality and a varied range of real abilities to interpret the creator's concepts. Landscape architecture embraces the spatial organization of outdoor spaces to meet people's require‐ ments and wishes while protecting or improving the natural environments and processes. Landscape architecture usually requires human beings to labor in different ways. The archi‐ tect's objectives are to make spaces that correspond to social, environmental, cultural, esthet‐

An urban settlement, town or city, is one of the primordial and predominant expressions of human sociability on a territorial basis. The outward, visually perceptible manifestation of the compound, a multiform social structure that constitutes a town, is the three-dimensional plastic townscape. In everyday terms, landscape architecture is mostly a product, such as a park, a garden, a fountain, a wetland, and its flora and fauna that are planned for protection, a nature reserve or a roadmap. The town plan gives a single plan, a graphic abstraction of a townscape at a fixed date. In a town plan, one of the most critical study areas is landscape. Landscape architecture is a three-dimensional spatial organization of the territory, the com‐ bination of natural, building, and architectural components into an elemental composition bearing a specific artistic image. Like architecture and town planning, landscape architec‐ ture refers to spatial types of art. Deciphering of the landscape as a superb ensemble - in general or in part – bears a sign of localization recognition, of component elements. In con‐ trast, the profession of landscape architecture is broad and complex. It deals with multiple scales that range from a single site to a whole region. Practicing landscape architects work on a wide range of project types. These include, but are not limited to: urban design, com‐ munity design, historic preservation, ecological restoration, parks and park systems, infra‐
