These characteristics are important in creating a strategy for visitors as well as for designing a space. A survey was conducted at the ponds in the Lednice-Valtice cultural landscape. The study classified visitors by age, recreational activity, the character of the group, and by the motivation for their visit. The methods included census and questionnaire surveys conducted in selected locations. Over 4 days, 559 groups and individuals were recorded, 88 individuals responded to the survey. The major categories of visitors covered small groups (64.9 %), cyclists (85%) and visitors coming from greater distances (95%). Cyclists tend to spend less time at the monuments in the landscape; 53.1% of cyclists pass them, whereas 90 % of walkers stop at least for 2 minutes. The average visitor to the Lednice-Valtice Complex is a cyclist coming with a group of friends, using the landscape predominantly for sports activities. Although the respondents did not highlight nature or culture as their interests, these values were often presented as the motivation for their visit. The results suggest that recreation has a potential for raising awareness about the values of cultural landscapes and for promoting understanding and protection of natural and cultural values.

Easy accessibility of a point cloud predisposes its use in the analytical phase of the design process as well as for the presentation of the final design. The goal was to integrate this data into the creative process in two case studies and observe how students deal with data. The process was evaluated afterwards through an online survey and through interviews with students in the form of a focus group. From the case studies, there is still a preference for using "traditional data" such as orthophoto maps, plans and contours for the analysis and presentation. This challenged us to develop new approaches for including UAV survey-based point cloud data in the design process.

In close cooperation between landscape architects with a landscape ecology background and students of architecture, we tried to combine analytical and design tools. We have achieved interesting results using tools such as GIS, Rhinoceros and the coding platform Grasshopper. Our case study takes place in Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic, with one of the biggest urban renewal areas in the country.

The method aims for non-biased visualization of architectural proposals without any artistic effects and should be used as a basis for decision making in the area concerned. The article proposes our workflow and tests it against photo simulation and mesh based 3d modeling. The aim is to test, whether there are significant differences between methods and verify, whether the process is viable.

The aim was to identify areas of activity, their functional and chronological interpretation and to determine the basic spatial relationships of the main components. By combining the results of individual methods, areas of activity from the La Tène and Roman times were identified with a relatively high degree of certainty. An entirely new discovery is the supposed presence of a Roman temporary camp in this intensely populated position. Part of its fortification was identified by geophysical survey, and also in the set of metal-detector finds chronologically related significant objects can be identified.
