Is it possible to dedicate to footnotes a same fixed (possibly empty) area, with same height, on each page? Of course, in case of too long footnote text, it should continue on the next page (area) as usual.

Main problem is the "possibly empty" bit.
Try
\setlength{\dimen\footins}{2\in} % or whatever
\addtolength{\textheight}{-\dimen\footins}
\setlength{\skip\footins}{0pt}
\global\count\footins=0\relax
This is almost what you want, but the footnote rule will have to be changed to take up the space previously occupied by \skip\footins.

It would be helpful if you provided a complete MWE (minimum working example), starting with
\documentclassand ending in\end{document}to demonstrate your proposed fix. Commented Dec 1, 2014 at 17:43
