Handbook for recognising and planning green infrastructure
RECOGNITION OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE LEGEND Area with little ES or high potential to increase ES stock
Area with a lot ES
Figure 10: A chart of the recognised green infrastructure of the sea and coastal municipalities with an increased snapshot of the sea.
The chart of the recognised GI also shows potential green and blue corridors, and it may also serve as the basis for their planning: we may comprehensively assess how and when the green and blue corridors would be best designed in an area, in order to improve the biodiversity and/or the ES stock there. The analyses for recognising the existing and planning the new GI may be very extensive, which is why it would be reasonable to implement them in the scope of the spatial planning processes when certain information may be additionally obtained. In today’s information age, when measures and analyses are quickly linked and exchanged, and when satellite acquisition of the various information in real time is part of daily operations, the latter should not be a significant barrier. The continuation of the works presented by this handbook is also mentioned. 29
