The article presents changes in land use in the area of the municipality of Cerkvenjak, Slovenia, in the period 2000-2023. Changes in land use are shown as a function of some natural geographical factors (relief, topoclimatic characteristics...). The directions of changes in land use are also analyzed in relation to the process of extensification, i.e. changes of cultivated land to non-cultivated land. The changes in vineyard areas are specially analyzed. We also included in the analysis older georeferenced and digitized data from the Franciscan cadastre for the area of the present municipality of Cerkvenjak from 1824. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyses the changes in land use in the area of the Dravinjske Gorice in the period 2000-2022. Changes in land use are shown depending on the selected natural geographical elements and by cadastral municipalities. The directions of land use change in the considered period and the coefficient of extensification are also analysed. In the past, viticulture was one of the agricultural activities that gave the identity of this region, so for the probe area "Škalce-Bezina-Tepanje" we analysed the changes in the viticulture areas in terms of relative heights, global radiation and viticulture ratings in time profiles 1824-2000-2022.

We can divide the region Ljutomersko-ormoške gorice on Western and Eastern part. Following, are well known by their quality wines, tourism and cultural center Jeruzalem. On the other hand, Western Ljutomersko -- Ormoške gorice are hiding in the shadows of the Eastern part. That's why the process of farm dropping, migration of youth, urbanisation has changed the area of Western Ljutomersko - Ormoških goric, even more. With this kind of movement in the area, Land use has changed a lot. The number of overgrow lands, forest lands, green lands and none arable areas has increased. This kind of land use, can follow to physical geographic changes of areas, as well as to culture changes of areas. The biggest problem of changes in land use are unsensibly use of land. Mostly by overlaying of none arable areas with arable areas, where there are good farming areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
