Abstract
The research explored land use and land cover development in the area of the Czech-Austrian borderland and it has contributed to our better understanding of the changing landscape and forces that are driving those changes. Despite the entirely different political, economical and social development in Austria and Czechia, the land use development does not reflect this difference as much as one could have thought.
The land use development seems to follow more general driving forces and seems to be partly inert to specific driving forces. Even on a small scale level the development in the land use structure was quite similar in the Austrian and Czech borderland (case areas: Valticko, Vitorazsko).
