Abstract:

This BEE thesis aims to analyze sustainable landscape architecture methods and practices applicable to urban environments. After analyzing the definition of sustainable landscape architecture and reviewing relevant literature, the Imperial Island located in Prague was chosen as a working site. The role of sustainable landscaping in urban growth will be studied in terms of the environment, social and economic advantages. The practical part of the study included a site analysis of the Imperial Island, a public survey, and a proposed master plan that incorporates sustainable landscape architecture principles and practices. The public survey provides insights into the community's perceptions and expectations for the proposed design. The findings suggest that sustainable landscape architecture is an effective way to promote urban sustainability and enhance the quality of life in urban environments.
