6 CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK 
With the aid of geo-information efficient spatially and temporally recording methods and classifications of the urban 
nature supply are discussed. Multi-criteria evaluations of urban nature are compiled for the suburban area regarding the 
quality of life, biotope protection, biodiversity, nature aesthetics and recovery. A balance and a modelling of the 
dynamics in nature and a conflict analysis will follow. 
Nature, in particular, in the suburban cultural landscape is to be described and analysed with respect to indicators such 
as structure (line or planar propagation, cuttings, etc.), dynamics (entry of the modification processes) and 
neighbourhood relations with other land-use forms, as for example with settlements or business parks. 
First results for drawing up the inventory of the nature space supply clarify the possibilities modern monitoring methods 
offer using geo-information to evaluate the nature space potential in the peri-urban landscape. It is of special importance 
to develop applicable indicators for planning processes. 
Further investigations and analyses are in particular intended for the following main topics: 
* Overlay of the classification with the map of the historical settlement development 
* Classification of the green areas compared to open spaces in topographic maps 
* Calculation of different parameters to separate different landscape units with the aid of 
- Texture parameters, 
- Vegetation indices, 
- Landscapemetrics, 
- Morphological filter and segmentation procedures. 
* Developing an evaluation scheme for the state and change of the culture landscape, and its positive and negative 
influencing factors 
Detection of particularly strongly changed areas as well as of especially little changed areas 
Detection of endangering and of positively influencing neighbourhood relationships (examples:new districts versus 
historical, local centres; business parks versus landscapes close to nature) 
* Detection of intense settlement growth axes in the recent past and their evaluation regarding cultural landscape 
structures having been developed over a long time 
* Detection of local recreation correlations (potential, meaningful relations regarding accessibility, perceptibility, 
etc.).
