| Abstract: | The article explores holistic approach of understanding the importance of lighted urban environment. The city at night is quite diff erent from the city during the daytime. In the evening, att ention is focused on the eff ect of the light; during the daytime it is the support structure that plays a partin determining the public appearance. The requirements for the successful lighting are: visibility of objects that ensure safety and orientation, recognition of traffi c situation, the ability to create comfort and well being, limited or shielded light brightness, and suitable color of the light to the surrounding and visible role in social interaction. Considering all demands a city has an att ractive and inviting appearance, even after dark. The lighting creates a pleasant atmosphere, but should not dominate. On the other side, even qualitative created artifi cial light has some negative environment burden usually called light pollution. The article presents some possibilities to achieve the balance between realization of positive lighting aspects and improvement of negative illumination eff ects. |
