Abstract
In this study, we examine land use changes in border regions of Czechia during last 160 years. We assume that the proximity to a border has influenced the state and development of population, economy and institutions of these regions,and therefore also the structure and changes of their agriculture, landscape and land use.
Our research benefits from the database of land use in Czechia, in which shares of eight basic land use categories are known for four time horizonts (1845,1948,1990 and 2000) in 8903 so-called Basic Territorial Units (BTU´s).
