Landscape development has been determined by environmental factors, economical development, and political decisions. Analyses of various landscape features and their historical and present changes need to be recognized to ensure future sustainable land use and landscape management. Our paper aims to introduce a landscape typology based on classification of landscapes and their changes over the last 15 years in the Czech Republic, after the Communism period. These landscape changes are connected with the restitution of private land ownership, changes in the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP), land abandonment and rural marginalisation. The results of CORINE land-cover and NATURA 2000 biotope analysis show landscape changes between the years 1990 and 2000 on different spatial dimension and scale levels.
