| Tartalmi kivonat: | In order to understand the relationship between society and its natural environment it is crucial to research historical land use and land cover. As a result, both past and current land cover changes are more and more closely looked at - in accordance with international trends - within Hungarian geography. Through our research using a Geographical Information System, we examined the variety (diversity) and variability (land use stability) of land cover on 25x25 km urban, rural and transitional regions in the Duna-Tisza Interfluve from the second half of the 19th century to the present days, through five different time horizons. For this research we used the database previously compiled for our past landscape history and land use analysis. In this recent paper our main aim was to answer the following questions: 1. What kind of spatial characteristics can be recognized in land use stability? 2. How did the ratio of stable and transformed land cover areas, as well as the annual mean size of change affected areas vary over time? 3. What kind of conclusions can we draw from the results in terms of the driving factors and from the angle of landscape protection? By answering these questions, we would like to emphasize the driving force of the agroecological potential, while also pointing out a relationship between natural conditions and the change in land cover, as well as land use stability. |
