Abstract

Changes in the land use/land cover (LU/LC) model caused by different anthropogenic and natural factors are an important object of numerous scientific research. In this paper, an analysis of the spatio-temporal changes (LUCCs) for the area of Significant landscape (SL) of the „Baraćeve špilje“ in the period from 1960 to 2021 was performed. Using aerial photographs and a hybrid classification method, LU/LC models and spatio-temporal changes (STCs) analysis were performed. The research showed that the abandonment of agriculture and the slow disappearance of anthropogenic influence led to the disappearance of low vegetation in the form of lawns, meadows and pastures, while the bushy vegetation and forest gradually prevailed. Finally, in accordance with the degree of protection of the studied area guidelines for stopping negative trends in LU/LC changes were considered.
