In its first study, the working group of land evaluation and land use (agriculture) has outlined the scientific area, described its connections to other sciences and examined the international data providing needs. In its second study we collected the available digital maps and datasets for the regardless of their scale to help data communication in a common information collecting work platform. We evaluated the general availability, the stage of digitalization, difficulty in availability and their information content. For further evaluation we took into account the legal and decision support background and the possibilities of regulations and publicity. Furthermore we described the legal background of the land protection and agricultural (land use), the survey of the Hungarian and EU data providing tasks, the survey of the operation of land protection and agri-environmental programs and institutions. We analysed methodologies on the fields of agricultural suitability-environmental sensitivity, suitability of agricultural production, agro-ecological value and environmental sensitivity. In our third study we connected models and databases and created a possible parameter set (indicators). Our suggested indicators were introduced in oral presentations on Science’s Day, at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, in 2006. These were as follows: landscape indicators: a) 1. landscape pattern, 2. landscape fragmentation, 3. land use stability, 4. connectivity, 5. state of health of the landscape; b) agri-environmental indicators: 1. areas brought into the programs and their distribution by target programs, 2. rate of large and small scale farming (and the rate of extensive and intensive agriculture), 3. nitrogen output (organic+inorganic), 4. erosion. The chosen indicators were described as follows: name of the indicator, explanation for choosing the indicator, definition of the indicator, possibility of measuring/estimating the indicator (with available maps and datasets), planned monitoring activity with the indicator.
