Anotace
The course deals with historical and current changes of land use, landscape and land cover, with their causes, socio-economic driving forces and consequences, and with their research.
The lectures are focused on: (a) historical and modern theories and approaches to land use research throughout the World; (b) data sources and methods of land use research (LUCC Czechia Database, CORINE database, old maps etc.); (c) description and explanation of main land use changes and their socio-economic driving forces on various spatial levels, with a focus on Czechia; and (d) the relationship between land use changes research and several other phenomena and concepts, including socio-economic metabolism, greenways planning, and modelling and simulation approaches.
