LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE CHANGES IN MODEL VILLAGE OF HLINNÉ, VYŠNÝ ŽIPOV AND ZLATNÍK

Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2009, Vol 49, Issue 1

Abstract

An important attribute of landscape as geosystem is its structure, inner construction which is presented by unity of mutual bonds among its elements and components as well (Chorley, kennedy 1971 in Oťaheľ, et. al. 2004). Landscape structure interacts and reflects important countryside characteristics, which importance is evident, from the long term point of view, in their self-regulated abilities. Comparing recent landscape structure represented by land cover layers from quite close time periods, relatively short time changes could be analyzed, which enable to consider the landscape dynamism in context of socioeconomic and political stimuli (Oťaheľ, et. al. 2004). The aim of this contribution was to evaluate changes in the landscape structure on the basis of land cover changes evaluation during three time horizonts: 1826, 1956 a 1991. Methodical approach was derived from adapted databasis of Corine Land Cover, which was adapted according to the results of field research and the area of investigated region. The process of identification and following statistically-spatial analysis of land cover layers in particular time periods was realized by GIS softver Arc View 3.2 and softver Microsoft Office Professional - Excel 2000.
