Abstract

The middle section of the Kupčina river valley is listed as a natural asset that has been registered, and proposed to be designated as a protected area of the significant landscape category, in the spatial plan of Zagreb County. However, professional criteria for declaring such protected areas are not clearly defined. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to prepare a proposal for research methodology of physical geographic and geoecological surveys of the landscape in order to create an expert baseline study for protection status. The study area is a prevalently agricultural landscape in which the only natural zone is a narrow riparian zone along the riverbed of the Kupčina. For this purpose, the data on geomorphological, soil, and climate characteristics, water resources, and land use were analysed in order to carry out the assessment of land for agricultural use and protection. By using the method of relative relief evaluation, the suitability of the land for agricultural use was determined. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the inner part of the riparian zone of the Kupčina is suitable for protection under the significant landscape category.

潜在保护区的自然地理分析和地质生态评价——以克罗地亚萨格勒布县库普伊纳河谷为例

在萨格勒布县的空间规划中，库普伊纳河谷的中部被列为已注册的自然资产，并提议被指定为重要景观类别的保护区。然而，宣布这些保护区的专业标准并没有明确规定。因此，本文的目的是为景观自然地理和地质生态调查的研究方法提出建议，以建立保护状况的专家基线研究。研究区域是一个普遍的农业景观，其中唯一的自然地带是沿着库普 ina河河床的狭窄河岸地带。为此，对地貌、土壤和气候特征、水资源和土地利用等数据进行了分析，以开展农业用地和保护用地评估。采用相对起伏度评价方法，确定了土地的农业适宜性。结果表明，库普 ina河岸带内部适合作为重要景观进行保护。

期刊介绍： The Hrvatski geografski glasnik/Croatian Geographical Bulletin is a scientific journal that publishes the results of original theoretical and empirical geographical research, reviews from all geographic disciplines, spatially oriented papers from geosciences and other related scientific disciplines, as well as interdisciplinary papers. The journal particularly welcomes papers focused on spatial issues in Croatia, Central, Southern and South-Eastern Europe, as well as papers that present the results of previous research and themes published in the Hrvatski geografski glasnik/Croatian Geographical Bulletin. The journal is issued twice a year. A manuscript is submitted in English, and, if possible, in Croatian. Each submitted manuscript id reviewed by two peer-reviewers.
