Abstract The cultural landscape is the result of the anthropogenic usage of the natural environment. According to Leser et al. (1984), “The cultural landscape ensues from human groups and societies permanently influencing the natural landscape and in particular using it for economic purposes and settlement as they exercise their basic functions of existence.” Whereas geofactors such as the climate, soil and topography are affected by mankind only indirectly and apparently very slowly (e.g. by means of climatic change or soil erosion), mankind shapes the landscape within much shorter spaces of time by means of land use. Consequently, land use neEds. to be planned responsibly. In particular, the various groups responsible must anticipate the various effects land use will have, and then only choose those forms which will have the ‘best impact’ from among the possible usage options. This article deals with methods which can be used for decision support for land uses changes.
