The master's thesis deals with regulated Trnava rivulet in Čakovec, that can be redesigned in quality green area. After a major flood in the 1960s, the stream was reruted from the town center. The creek is regulated in its section through the entire length of the town. Regulation has prevented the town from flooding again, but the quality of the water corridor has declined and the area has become less interesting. The flood protection of the watercourse is focused only to the technical solution, while the landscape design aspect was not taken into consideration. Therefore, the main purpose of thesis is to create a functional landscape design proposal for rearrangement of the Trnava’s wider corridor as integrated park area that would revive the space and make it interesting for users. Landscape analysis is followed by basic principles for the redevelopment of the area and the final proposal for waterfront design along the Trnava. The proposed concept offers residents public green areas, sports and recreational parks, picnics and leisure areas, playgrounds, community gardens and a botanical garden, connected with new walking paths and crossings across the creek. The program and activities along the watercourse are based on the municipal spatial plan and the needs of the Čakovec’s residents. Landscape design of watercourse Trnava would increase the attractiveness of the entire area.
