Abstract Introduction . The article contains an analysis of landscape changes taking place as a result of the development of tourism in the areas of Lake Białe and Lake Glinki (eastern Poland). Material and methods . The paper refers to the results of research covering the years of 1960-1990 and shows the changes in space that took place until 2017. In the first stage of the research, the methods of analysis of archival materials and land use plans were used. In the last period, remote sensing methods were applied – the orthophotomap from 2017 and cadastral data were used to classify land use. Results. In the first period of the development of the recreational region (until 1990), a decrease in the area of meadows and pastures, forest areas and arable land was noticed in favour of areas occupied for collective and individual recreational buildings. The most recent changes in the landscape show a decreasing importance of the agricultural function (mainly a decrease in the arable land area) and an increase in colonisation space, related to summer buildings and areas with a recreational function (wooded areas). Conclusions. With a view to further development of tourism in the area of Lake Białe and Lake Glinki, particular emphasis should be placed on harmonising land use and spatial development.

This paper analyzes the impacts of urban sprawl on arable land loss in Bamako district from 1990 to 2018 by using remote sensing and geographic information science capabilities. The analysis was based on satellite images classification of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) 1990, 2000, Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) 2010, Landsat 8 Operational Land Image and Thermal Infrared Sensor (OLI/TIRS) image for 2018 to show land use and cover changes, in particular arable land loss. The results showed a significant evolution of land use and land cover and important arable land loss. From 1990 to 2018, the construction has increased by 73.06% while arable land decreased by 55.39%. The results also revealed that urban sprawl has exceeded the administrative boundaries of Bamako and is continuing in neighboring municipalities. This article recommends the adoption of legal measures, the development of urban development master plan, and close collaboration with different actors involve in land management for better management of arable land and urban sprawl. Finally, for a global understanding of the phenomenon in the urban area of Bamako, the study suggests a more in-depth study of a global approach to urban sprawl in the Bamako district, taking into account the surrounding rural communes, which affect today greatly the urban sprawl of Bamako.

AbstractLand use and land cover (LULC) terrain in Ghana has undergone profound changes over the past years emanating mainly from anthropogenic activities, which have impacted countrywide and sub-regional environment. This study is a comprehensive analysis via integrated approach of geospatial procedures such as Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) of past, present and future LULC from satellite imagery covering Ghana’s Ashanti regional capital (Kumasi) and surrounding districts. Multi-temporal satellite imagery data sets of four different years, 1990 (Landsat TM), 2000 (Landsat ETM+), 2010 (Alos and Disaster Monitoring Constellation-DMC) and 2020 (SENTINEL), spanning over a 30-year period were mapped. Five major LULC categories – Closed Forest, Open Forest, Agriculture, Built-up and Water – were delineated premised on the prevailing geographical settings, field study and remote sensing data. Markov Cellular Automata modelling was applied to predict the probable LULC change consequence for the next 20 years (2040). The study revealed that both Open Forest and Agriculture class categories decreased 51.98 to 38.82 and 27.48 to 20.11, respectively. Meanwhile, Built-up class increased from 4.8% to 24.8% (over 500% increment from 1990 to 2020). Rapid urbanization caused the depletion of forest cover and conversion of farmlands into human settlements. The 2040 forecast map showed an upward increment in the Built-up area up to 35.2% at the expense of other LULC class categories. This trend from the past to the forecasted future would demand that judicious LULC resolutions have to be made to keep Ghana’s forest cover, provide arable land for farming activities and alleviate the effects of climate change.

Abstract The paper presents results of the analysis of the land use map compiled for transboundary Lake Khanka Basin using remote sensing data and geoinformation systems. The map reflects the distribution of 12 land categories in Lake Khanka basin in 2017 (arable land, abandoned arable land, paddy field, abandoned paddy field, shrubs and sparse growth, forest land, open pit, settlements, meadows and pastures, wet meadows and marshes, water bodies, forest cuttings and fire sites). The data of land use structure in the whole Lake’s watershed, in its Russian and Chinese parts are given. Data on the distribution of different land categories in the administrative territories of the rank of districts (Russia) and counties (China) are also presented. The analysis of land use structure showed that about 50 % of the Chinese part of the basin is covered by anthropogenically transformed natural complexes. The share of such lands in the territory of Russia amounts to 28 %. Agriculture is the most important factor in the change of natural complexes in Lake Khanka basin. Before early 1990s, the area of farmland had increased in the basin on both sides of the border, after that there was a significant reduction in cultivated lands, which had lasted for 10 years in the territory of China and for 20 years in Russia. Over the past decade, the area of cultivated areas in the basin and adjacent territories has extended again, which indicates an increase of anthropogenic impact and requires serious attention to monitoring of the ecological state of lands in the basin.

The 19Th Century

Changes in the cultural landscape provide essential evidence about the manner and intensity of the interactions between humans and nature. Czechia has a specific location in Central Europe. It is positioned at the crossroads of European landscape changes. These changes can be documented based on a unique database that shows the development of land use since the middle of the 19th century. In this study, we aimed to address the major processes of landscape change that occurred during four periods over the past 165 years, at the cadastral level on the territory of present-day Czechia. Further we identify and discuss proximate and underlying driving forces of the landscape changes. We used land use data from the year 1845, 1896, 1948, 1990, and 2010 that correspond to key events in Czech history. The major processes and intensity of landscape change were evaluated based on calculations of increases and decreases in land use classes between the first and last year of each examined period. The period 1845–1896 was the only period in which arable land increased, and the most recent period, 1990–2010, was the only period during which a grassing over process was recorded. Afforestation was recorded in all periods. The communist period was characterized by unified changes—urbanization, afforestation, arable land decrease, and landscape devastation. The post-communist period was, in some respects, beneficial to the landscape (e.g., grassing over and afforestation, particularly in mountain areas), but it also led to negative processes, such as strong urbanization and land abandonment. Such changes lead to landscape polarization. The landscape changes in Czechia during the period 1845–2010 reflect many important historical events in Europe. In our analysis, we demonstrate the essential impact of underlying drivers and also identify driving forces specific to the development of the Czech territory.

Satellite remote sensing is well demonstrated to be a powerful tool for investigating ancient land use in Southwest Asia. However, few regional studies have systematically integrated satellite-based observations with more intensive remote sensing technologies, such as drone-deployed multispectral sensors and ground-based geophysics, to explore off-site areas. Here, we integrate remote sensing data from a variety of sources and scales including historic aerial photographs, modern satellite imagery, drone-deployed sensors, and ground-based geophysics to explore pre-modern land use along the Upper Diyala/Sirwan River in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Our analysis reveals an incredible diversity of land use features, including canals, qanats, trackways, and field systems, most of which likely date to the first millennium CE, and demonstrate the potential of more intensive remote sensing methods to resolve land use features. Our results align with broader trends across ancient Southwest Asia that document the most intensive land use in the first millennium BCE through the first millennium CE. Land use features dating to the earlier Bronze Age (fourth through second millennium BCE) remain elusive and will likely require other investigative approaches.

Мета статті – дослідження і визначення типів землекористування  та показників ландшафтно-екологічного різноманіття території Полтавської області  за даними дистанційного зондування Землі (Global Land Cover 2000 Project). Методика дослідження. Для визначення типів використання земель у межах досліджуваної території був використаний метод аналізу даних дистанційного зондування Землі (GLC 2000). Результати дослідження. У статті наведені дані щодо ландшафтно-екологічного різноманіття типів покриву Полтавської області за даними дистанційного зондування Землі. В результаті проведених досліджень та відповідних розрахунків було встановлено, що найбільше ландшафтно-екологічне різноманіття характерне для східних і центральних районів Полтавської області. Найбільше воно є характерним для Решетилівського та Великобагачанського районів, які знаходяться в центрі досліджуваної області, а найменші показники ландшафтного різноманіття були характерні для Чорнухінського, Семенівського, Глобинського та Кобеляцького районів. Рівень ландшафтного різноманіття в умовах Полтавської області передусім визначається співвідношенням агроекосистем до ландшафтних комплексів інших типів. Елементи наукової новизни. Здійснено оцінку ландшафтно-екологічного різноманіття Полтавської області та досліджено його динаміку на основі даних дистанційного зондування поверхні Землі MODIS. Практична значущість. Аналіз типів покриву земної поверхні у межах Полтавської області показав значну розораність території та її зайнятість агроекосистемами. Ландшафтне різноманіття формувалося за рахунок ріллі, територій з мозаїкою ріллі й трав’янистого покриву та територій з розрідженим рослинним покривом. Компоненти природних екосистем були зосереджені у заплавах річок регіону та представлені заплавними лісами, лугами та болотами. The purpose of the article is to study and determine the types of land use and indicators of landscape and ecological diversity of the territory of Poltava region according to the data of the remote sensing of the Earth (Global Land Cover 2000 Project). Methods of research. The method of analysis of the Earth remote sensing data (GLC 2000) was used to determine the types of land use within the studied area. The research results. The data on the landscape-ecological diversity of the cover types in Poltava region according to the data of remote sensing of the Earth have been given in the article. As a result of the conducted research and corresponding calculations it has been established that the largest landscape and ecological diversity is characteristic for the eastern and central districts of Poltava region. It is the most characteristic of Reshetylivka and Velyka Bahachka districts located in the center of the studied area, while the lowest indicators of landscape diversity were found in Chornukhy, Semenivka, Hlobyno and Kobeliaky districts. The level of landscape diversity in Poltava region is primarily determined by the ratio of agro-ecosystems to landscape complexes of other types. The elements of scientific novelty. The assessment of the landscape and ecological diversity of Poltava region has been carried out and its dynamics based on the data of MODIS remote sensing of the Earth's surface has been studied. Practical significance. The analysis of the cover types of the Earth's surface within Poltava region has shown significant plowing of the territory and its occupation with agro-ecosystems. Landscape diversity was formed at the expense of arable land, territories with a mosaic of arable land, grassland and the areas with spaced vegetation cover. The components of natural ecosystems were concentrated in river floodplains of the region and are represented by floodplain forests, meadows and swamps.

Ist Island is one of the small inhabited Croatian islands (9.65 km2) which experienced strong socio-geographic transformation in the second half of the 20th century. Statistical data about the number of population, different demographic structures, dwellings from different censuses and data about land use in 1900, 1951 and 2003 are analysed in the paper. The comparison of these data helps to reconstruct the processes of deruralization and deagrarisation. It is obvious that today Ist Island is among islands with strong economic regress despite suitable natural-geographic basis for further development of tourism as the most perspective economic sector. The development of agriculture is limited because of the small share of arable land.
