The aim of this paper is to assess the changes in land use based on assessing of changes in the four selected time frames: 1826, 1956, 1991 and 2006. The methodological approach was based on the land use categories that were adapted to the result of field research and the specifics of the examined territory. The process of identification and subsequent statistical-spatial analysis of land use for individual time periods was realized by ArcView GIS 3.2 software on the base of historical maps and aerial photographs.
