day, proportion <strong>of</strong> people living in peri-urban villages <strong>of</strong> all inhabitants living in sparselypopulated area)Important nature areas are safeguarded (proportion <strong>of</strong> protected areas <strong>of</strong> all green areas)There are noiseless <strong>and</strong> silent areas in the urban region (proportion <strong>of</strong> noiseless <strong>and</strong> silentareas <strong>of</strong> the whole l<strong>and</strong> area)There are carbon sinks in the urban region (total area <strong>and</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong> forests <strong>and</strong> miresin the urban region)Culturally valuable areas are preserved (culturally valuable sites identified on all planlevels)2. Green infrastructure: The urban region hosts large <strong>and</strong> ecologically functional contiguousnature areas <strong>and</strong> ecological connections There are large <strong>and</strong> contiguous forest areas in the urban region (proportion <strong>of</strong> large <strong>and</strong>contiguous forest areas <strong>of</strong> total l<strong>and</strong> area) There are core nature areas in the urban region (proportion <strong>of</strong> core nature areas <strong>of</strong> all forestareas) There are functional ecological connections in the urban region (proportion <strong>of</strong> core natureareas having several ecological connections with other core nature areas) There is as little fragmentation as possible (proportion <strong>of</strong> forest edge zones <strong>of</strong> the wholeforest area <strong>and</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong> forest areas larger than 5 hectares <strong>of</strong> all green <strong>and</strong> forestedareas inside the densely populated area)3. Recreation: All inhabitants have a possibility for recreation in nature Recreational green areas are preserved (proportion <strong>of</strong> areas suitable for recreation) Recreational green areas are close-to-home (proportion <strong>of</strong> inhabitants living max. 300 mdistance from area suitable for recreation) Shores are accessible for recreation (proportion <strong>of</strong> free shore line) Recreation does not threaten conservation <strong>of</strong> biodiversity (proportion <strong>of</strong> inhabitants toareas suitable for recreation)4. Water: Functional water cycle enables use <strong>of</strong> water <strong>and</strong> good living environment Surface waters produce ecosystem services (water visibility, amount <strong>of</strong> chlorophyll a, <strong>and</strong>microbiological quality) Clean ground waters are not threatened (proportion <strong>of</strong> groundwater areas under risk) L<strong>and</strong> use supports water cycle <strong>and</strong> carbon sequestration (proportion <strong>of</strong> impervious l<strong>and</strong>area in ground water areas)5. Transport: Transport system does not endanger biodiversity Traffic amounts do not threaten biodiversity (traffic amounts in proportion to inhabitants) Traffic network does not prevent animal movements or cause fragmentation (road density,area <strong>of</strong> roads in proportion to inhabitants)35
