Differentiation of landscape structures in space and time – basis of landscape planning documents

The industrial revolution and subsequent industrialization of society represented a fundamental change to the landscape of the Czech Republic or, more precisely, the whole of Central Europe. These changes are reflected in the change of landscape structure (the existence or absence of landscape features, ground shaping, and construction of artificial elements in the landscape) and can be read in historical maps, which have been preserved. Currently, the Research Institute for Soil and Water Conservation (Czech Republic), in the frame of resolving a scientific program of the Ministry of Agriculture CR, is carrying out an analysis of historical changes in landscape structure, including hydroamelioration structures, using remote sensing and evaluation of changes in rural areas arising from measures in land and land use plans. Solutions that require extensive preparation of input data to assess the development of primary and secondary structures of the chosen territories, variable in content and form (resolution, scale, color, size, surface range, etc.), will evaluate the nature of the landscape development with the formulation of the downstream effects of realized hydroamelioration structures, measures in land consolidation projects and land use plans in the context of the influence of forests on the landscape model areas. The article presents the chosen method of analysis of spatial and temporal differentiation of landscape structures.
