Rational planning of the rangeland areas’ opening up
The set-up of the correct and effective handling as well as the necessity of the improvements’ application in the rangelands demand some works of substructure, like the works for the basic opening-up of the rangelands, which are the rangeland roads. The rational planning of the rangeland areas’ opening-up should be done according to 3 basic principles: The Technique, the Economy and the Ecology. In this essay the technical and geometrical elements of the rangeland areas are analyzed, as well as the evolutionary model of the construction’s cost and preservation of these roads. In addition, we can see some suggestions that are given for the decrease or the avoidance of the disturbance and the damages that rangeland roads cause to the natural environment.
