reconstructive geovisualisation and 3D visualisation as an effective planning tool.
The second group does not perceive the method as wholly useful since (according
to this group) it is not suitable to base future development on past development
(compare this opinion with arguments in Antrop, 2005).
Generally, the creation of multi-dimensional alternative scenarios of landscape
development seems to be an effective tool for landscape planning at least for some
groups of the decision triangle. It can also be said that the relation between lifelike-
ness of the model and its “communication” with the decision triangle is linear. The
question to resolve is the technical matter, as the closer one comes to an expression
of reality the higher are the technical demands. On the basis of our case study, the
representatives of the Klášterec nad Ohrí town plan to present the block 3D model
on its web site and in the long term also the photo-realistic one.
The reconstruction of an urban landscape as a basis for regional development
has its rationalisation over several levels. In the first one, it enables us to conceive
of development of the town as a historically organic system. In this respect, the
future development is a continual representation of changes, which do not act dis-
cordantly, though they may partially overlay the past design of the town. Through
this approach, the future changes only remove or transform the unfunctional objects
or space and try to preserve or renew the natural and socio-cultural phenomena
which are relatively stable over the long term. In the case study, these phenomena
are represented for instance by the locations assuring the ecological functions of
the town (e.g. stable fragments of greenery; see Sukkop & Wittig, 1993) or by the
historic buildings and urbanistic complexes (Oršulák et al., 2007).

Notes
1. Such a photo-realistic scenario may help inhabitants of the territory to imagine the intended
future design of a landscape and to express their opinions about “inadequate” changes of their
surroundings.
2. The low-rise terraced houses will negatively affect the traditional design of the local landscape.
As in the case of Fig. 11.3, the scenario may help to avoid unsuitable and unwanted changes in
aterritory.
