Abstract

Traditional agricultural landscape structures (TAL) create a mosaic of small-scale arable fields and permanent agricultural cultivations related to the specific regional agrarian culture. Continuity of traditional agricultural utilization was not interrupted in these areas, even during agricultural collectivization. Currently, not only intensive farming, but also increasing urbanization or abandonment threatens the existence of TAL. Research into TAL in Slovakia focused on mapping their distribution and contributing to improvement in the quality of life in rural areas. Herein we present the detailed land use mapping model applied in study areas with preserved TAL. The present state and developmental trends of agricultural landscape and the spatial determination of TAL was demonstrated by detailed land use mapping linked to the 1st and 2nd level of the Corine Land Cover legend (CLC), and by comparison of historical and current land use maps. The largest proportion of extensive farming is maintained in Hriňová, with a significant 15% share of small-block fields and 25% heterogeneous agricultural areas. We also created a set of indicators through which the incidence of TAL in the field could be confirmed, or refuted. Based on the presence of land use elements and according to TAL national classification scheme, the 9 TAL types were determined in these study areas, where their overall share of the total agricultural land area varies from 11% to 50%.
