Description
In the public and even in professional circles, the ecological
value or the ecological value of the product has to be taken into
account.
Little is known about the potential of golf courses that are laid
out close to nature and professionally maintained. As part of this
project, the Migros Zurich GMZ cooperative wanted to sift through
habitats on its planned golf project perimeter Beichlen in
Wädenswil and integrate them into the investment planning taking
into account ecological aspects. In addition, targeted visitor
monitoring should be used to gain insights into the behaviour and
movement patterns of people seeking relaxation. This information
served as the basis for the development of a customized visitor
management system.
The preliminary project for visitor management gives an initial
overview of the uses in the golf perimeter. For this purpose,
different methods of recording usage were used. Initial data
evaluations have shown that recreational use plays an important
role in the golf perimeter.
The GMZ also commissioned the Environmental Planning Department to
draw up a habitat inventory in order to inventory and document all
existing near-natural areas and structures in the area of the
planned golf course Beichlen and its surroundings. Furthermore,
faunistic mapping was carried out in 2013. Based on the mainly
entomological surveys as well as external supplementary
observations of birds and small mammals, target species for the
projected golf course were proposed.
During the referendum the realization of the golf course was
rejected. Migros has subsequently withdrawn from the Beichlen
project area.
