Sažetak
Landscape analysis is the process of describing and interpreting the landscape ecology of an area. Resource patches and a landscape network of connecting corridors are identified, described and classified. The usual set of data acquired for a landscape analysis includes toographic maps, forest cover maps, digital elevation models, satellite images and airphotos. A geographic information system is very useful in this prcess. In the process of landscape analysis and terrestrial works should be used to indentify and quantify landscape variables and/or spatial, temporal and functional aspects of landscape. In Croatia there are a variety of different landscapes, from lowlands in the north, hilly and mountain region in the middle and the coastal areas in the south. Different agricultural use and urban development in such variety influenced very much the forest landscapes. The investigation of relationships between different agricultural, urban and forest types was peformed on the set of 15x15 kilometers LandsatTM subscenes. The subscenes were chosen around the most important settlements in all regions in Croatia. On each subscene the several classification methods were used to describe land use of each region. The accuracy of each classification was calculated using topographic maps, fotointerpretation and terrestrial work. The best classification of each subscene was used for landscape analysis. The results show how many different landscapescan be found in Croatia.
