“…This trend includes the decline of agricultural activity, increase in urban sprawl, increase in the development of roads and the pressure from leisure activities (Feranec et al 2000;Jongman 2002;Van Eetvelde, Antrop 2004). The results confirm also the trend of the increase of pastures in the Czech Republic.…”

This paper follows up the landscape changes of Prague outskirts from 1990 to 2012 using the CORINE land cover data. It quantifies these changes by observing the acreage decrease and increase of individual types of land cover. The results confirm the frequently emerging trend in Europe, namely the increase of the urban area at the expense of arable land. Another significant change is the increase of pastures in the areas farther from the city. These changes are further analysed to find regularities relating to the relief, to the distance from the city and to the transport and settlement infrastructure. On the bases of the analyses there are defined the types of changes. The most significant change is a decrease of arable land at the expense of discontinuous urban fabric and pastures. The results show that there were changes made to the land cover on an area of 17,429 ha which is equivalent to 7.3% of the evaluated area.

“…Our regional analysis depicts a net increase of forested areas in the Czech Republic and Slovakia of 4.6% and 2%, respectively, between 1987 and 2005, while we found an overall decrease of 4.2% in forest cover for the Polish part of the study site. These results prove that there are large regional differences in forest cover changes in and between the three countries which are not depicted in national forest statistics (Feranec et al, 2000;Bielecka and Ciołkosz, 2004;FAO, 2005;Feranec et al, 2007). Moreover, statistics focusing on net forest cover neglect the spatio-temporal correspondence of forest disturbances and reforestation.…”

“…Selected directions of changes have also been visualized by Pazúr and Hurbánek (2006) by means of a relevant colour area symbol. Area symbols have also been used in the visualization of landscape changes in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia with the specification of a process that took place between the 1970s and the 1990s (Feranec et al, 2000). This approach makes it possible to visualize areas that have undergone transformation in the form of intensive or extensive agriculture, urbanization, deforestation or other anthropogenic activities.…”

The authors focused on the analysis of landscape changes that took place in the central part of the Ostrava-Karviná Mining District (northeastern part of the Czech Republic) from the first half of the 19 th century to the beginning of the 21 st century. Land cover and land cover changes were mapped in detail in the observed cadastral areas (Lazy near Orlová, Karviná-Doly, and Darkov). With regard to the existing data sources, the years 1836, 1947, and 2003 were selected as significant time milestones. Land cover was derived from cadastral maps (year 1836) and aerial photos (years 1947 and 2003). Land cover interpretation was carried out at a scale of 1:5,000. A 1:25,000 scale map shows land cover of studied cadastral territories in each monitored year. Land cover changes are presented in three 1:30,000 scale thematic maps: (1) Number of land cover changes, (2) Same-type land cover preservation, and (3) Landscape processes. Land cover change maps are complemented with tables and graphs. The tables contain numerical data on total areas of change (or identical land cover) and their percentage representation in the total area of the studied territory. Area comparisons are given in the graphs.
