Necessity and Possibility of Using Up-To-Date Scientific Results in Sustainable Development: GIS and Community Participation

摘要：

Continuous degradation of natural values and natural resources is often due not to unforeseen catastrophes, processes out of our control, but unintended consequences of expertly planned development processes of good intention. This trend would easily continue due to EU-financed developments. Proper solutions need communication and cooperation among different disciplines: ecology, economy, rural development, techniques, sociology, law, and so on. The META database aims to document and scientifically evaluate the present state of Hungarian vegetation. It helps with more effective protection of natural and landscape values determining life quality and nationwide optimal planning of landscape use.
