Abstract

Wind power is a growing industry, which has an increasing impact on our landscapes. Many articles and papers have been published about public acceptance and the importance to consider the wider landscape when placing turbines.
Surprisingly though is the lacking of wind power integration research – not visually, but functionally. This work and analysis has identified processes and working tools which should be incorporated in the planning procedure. Having wind power as a backbone landscape design becomes most interesting. There are many limiting regulations to consider, often leading to a negative planning approach today, where a design study may give new views to approach specific projects.

As analysis provides the framework for this design proposition, it can be argued that analysis and design has been developed simultaneously, in contrary to the
traditional sequential way of planning where the limiting factors are the first to be explored. Further, this thesis argues that it is possible to utilise opportunities in the
development phase of infrastructure projects like wind power to initiate i.e. ecological enhancement projects. All new infrastructure developments there are facing opportunities and threats. Analysing the situation at hand, development can really take off when there is a lot to gain. This research clearly shows that wind power and i.e. ecological/recreational developments can benefit from each other and even depend on one another. For example, the monocultural land between Lomma and Lund can, with relatively small ecological and cultural operations,
become a lively and well-visited landscape by the support of wind power.
