Collecting source materials (orthophotomaps, Polish land cover maps and databases, Corine LandCover database) from 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020
II. Identyfying and assessment of landscape changes and its driving forces
Preparing 4 maps illustrating main elements of landscape of the test communes in 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020
| Assessment of landscape change intensity by calculating landscape change index |
Workshops/focus group interviews with local leaders/authorities in order to identify the most important driving forces |
| Preparing full classification of types and subtypes of landscape changes, analysis of frequency of each landscape type and subtype of changes | Preparing full classification of driving forces of landscape change in each landscape type and subtype, correlation analyses between intensity of landscape changes and selected, the most important driving forces |
III. Identyfying of landscape services
Survey research among local experts / authorities and residents of all municipalities in the area of research in order to identify and draw up a list of landscape services and their indirect and direct measures provided by the landscape types and subtypes
| Preparing full classification of landscape services provided by each landscape type and subtype with direct and indirect measures | Identifying changes in demand of landscape services in analyzed time intervals |
IV. Estimation the value of landscape services
Estimation of the value of provided landscape services in the analyzed periods and identification of the change types and driving forces connected to the increase or decrease in the value of provided services
V. Assessment of changes of landscape services in the future
Assessment of spatial policy from the studies of conditions and directions of spatial development of each commune in the context of changes in landscape services in the future, preparing 3 scenarios of possible changes in provided landscaping services
