TERRITORIAL SYSTEM OF ANTHROPOGENIC STRESS FACTORS IN LANDSCAPE ECOLOGICAL PLANNING

A territorial system of stress factors is the opposite system to a ter ritorial system of ecological stability. It represents ecologically ne gative factors in landscape and the level of their negative influence. This paper deals only with the evaluation of anthropogenic stress fac tors so that effects that do not result from human activities are not considered. Anthropogenic stress factors according to their origin can be divided into two groups primary stress factors and secondary stres s factors. They can be also classified as core elements, linear elemen ts, and large-scale area elements. The selection and classification of territorial system of stress factor in ecological evaluation of lands cape depends on the specification of a problem and its scale. A basic principle for the preparing territorial system of stress factors is th e method used in landscape ecological planning -''LANDEP''.
