Climate and regional land-use planning
AbstractOne of the most important tasks of regional land-use planning is to protect the natural resources. Damage and prejudices caused by planning activities can either be reduced or prevented by considering the interactions in the biosphere. The climatologist acting as advisor, has to be prepared for the relevant project, especially with the large-scale maps. For this purpose, however, the available climatological basic material does not suffice; consequently it has to be essentially supplemented by acquiring additional data and developing new methods. The general climatic structure of the area or country in question plays a decisive role, so methods as well as analytic and synthetic results are not transferable to other areas or countries in every case. Another aspect is that often different planning purposes have to be considered because of the differences in the infrastructure of the corresponding area.Based on case studies, the planning purposes are presented, in particular for human settlements, trade and industry, and results are given of the pertaining climatological investigations, partly with an evaluation of the thermal and air-hygienic discomfort. The large economic benefit which can be gained by this special field of applied climatology shall serve as an example for the great importance of the World Climate Applications Programme (WCAP) within the framework of the World Climate Programme (WCP) which has already been started.
