Evaluation of urban biotopes – tool for biodiversity protection and sustainable development of cities
Abstract
Cities have a large heterogeneity of habitats (i.e. biotopes) in a relatively small area. Urban biotope
mapping is a procedure for determining and describing the size and distribution of different habitats
(natural and man-made) in the entire urban area with the intention of creating a biotope (habitat)
network. Mapping of urban biotopes and their value assessment is therefore considered to be a
valuable tool for the purpose of sustainable development and preservation of biodiversity in cities.
Methodology for mapping and evaluation of urban biotopes in Serbia was developed for Belgrade
city. Typology for biotope mapping as well as criteria for biotope value assessment were also created.
Actual value of selected i.e. representative biotopes, as well as the potential value of all mapped
biotopes were assessed. Results of biotope mapping are possible to transform for practical use, and
certain recommendations and measures are defined for application in the planning process. So f...ar,
only limited use of these information was noticed for the purpose of urban planning, nature protection
and scientific researches. Thus, there is a need to promote the projects regarding mapping and
evaluation of urban biotopes as a useful tool for biodiversity protection and sustainable development
of cities in Serbia.
