Consistent recording of data on Land Use makes it possible to carry out a detailed analysis of a landscape development in the Czech ladns over the last 160 years. Since the 1970s there have been Land Use studies using these records but they usualy foccused on statistical data processing for whole cadastre areas. With the introduction of the Geographical Information System (GIS) we have had on opportunity to effectively analyse the map data and thus to observe the structure of landscape and the surfaces as Well. This dissertation thesis deals with the Land Use development of cadastres Teletin and Trebsin between the years 1840 and 1999, using the Arc View detscop GIS computer program. Its aim is to identify all the changes in the Land Use and drawing on knowledge of general trends in the landscape and society development to explain and comment on these changes. The comparison of the results of this study (map analysis GIS) with the recorded data (statistics Land Use date for individual cadastres) creates also on important part of the dissertation. Maps from the year 1840 and my own field map works Lad Use in the 1999 are used for the analysis. In order to illustrate development of several indicators between the two time horizons same aerial photographs from 1953 are used. Different types of land are..
