“…Land use extensification is documented in both areas early on, in the period when intensification took place in lower and more favourable areas (Havlíček, Chrudina, 2013). These changes concur with the results of Kanianska, who described arable land expansion in the lowland areas of Slovakia, a slight increase in the submountainous villages, but with decreases in the mountainous settlement areas (Kanianska et al, 2014). This extensification underlines the repressing effect of environmental drivers in mountain villages, but also the effect of proximity to the town of Banská Bystrica, as an industrialized centre offering employment.…”

“…The land cover changes discussed here conform to those in other studies in Slovakia (Kopecká, 2006;Cebecauerová, Cebecauer, 2008;Kanianska et al, 2014), where two changes in agricultural organization are noted: (1) the transformation to cooperative farming, with subsequent land collectivization in socialist period; and (2) the reintroduction of the market economy in the 1990s.…”

Abstract. The paper addresses the importance of biophysical factors in land-use change over a period of time of more than 150 years beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century. Biophysical factors define the environmental capacity of a territory and can be viewed as a predisposition for changes in land use. The article investigates the impact of selected biophysical factors on land-use changes in the Trkmanka Watershed in the southeast part of the Czech Republic. The results of a canonical correspondence analysis demonstrated a relationship between selected variables and land-use changes. The most significant variables were slope grade, elevation and soil fertility, while aspect was of limited importance. Extensification processes are conditioned on less favourable environmental circumstances, especially steeper slope grade, higher elevation, less fertile soil and a north-facing slope. Intensive land use is associated with a lower slope grade and elevation, more fertile soils and a more favourable southern exposure. Although the results of the statistical analyses confirmed the importance of environmental factors, they explain only some of the overall land-use changes. It is clear that socioeconomic factors are the main forces influencing the character of land use.

“…Flat areas with fine landscape are preferred regions for increases in rural settlements, such as cultivated lands. So, construction lands encroach on cultivated lands in the urban or rural expansion zones, which is very common in recent years [32]. However, with the implementation of policy and occurrence of urbanization, the urban construction land expanded a lot in the study area, while areas of rural settlements and cultivated lands decreased from 2009 to 2014.…”

Detailed analysis of continuous time-series data from regions undergoing rapid urbanization can accurately reveal spatial variations on short time scales. This study used the city of Changchun in Jilin Province, China, as a case study to analyze total and annual changes in area-especially decreases in rural settlement area-as well as regional differences in these changes and driving forces of rural settlement evolution. Quantitative analytical techniques include a dynamic percentage of rural settlements, the distribution index of rural settlements, the regression correlation analysis, and other spatial analysis methods. Data were derived from a variety of sources, including land-use databases and social and economic statistics. The results show that the area of rural settlements decreased between 2009 and 2014, with the urban construction land expansion and decreases in cultivated lands. Rural settlements also became increasingly fragmented after 2009. Most of the rural settlements were located close to the urban construction land, and changes in rural settlement area were more pronounced with decreasing distance to the closest urban construction land, illustrating the effect of urban sprawl on rural settlement changes. The analysis also shows that the decreasing area of rural settlements between 2009 and 2014 is directly caused by urban sprawl. Regional development strategies and urban planning indirectly contribute to changes in the scale and spatial distribution of rural settlements by guiding urban development. The geographical environment and strict cultivated-land-protection policies also indirectly restrict changes in rural settlements by determining the restrictive area of urban expansion. No significant changes were found in the influence of population change on changing areas of rural settlements. In conclusion, the interaction of strategy for social-economic development, natural geography environments, and human demand jointly caused changes in rural settlements.
