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]

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]

In this article, we analyse land-use change in the municipality of Juršinci. In the first part of the article we discuss the changes in land use in relation to some natural-geographical characteristics in the period 2000-2021. We also discuss the most frequent directions of land use change. In the second part of the paper, we look at the changes in vineyard areas. In this context, we compared the extent of vineyard area in 1824 with the current situation. We also analyse the utilisation of quality vineyard areas in the past and today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Eastern Ljutomersko-Ormoške gorice are among the most vital vineyard areas of Northeastern Slovenia. Nevertheless, the region has not been spared from the processes of deagrarization and subsequent land use changes which are going in the direction of the abandonment of cultivated areas, greening, overgrowth and afforestation. The article analyses land use changes in the area of Eastern Ljutomersko-Ormoške gorice between 2000 and 2015 in relation to selected physiographic features. Main focus was on cultivated areas, particularly vineyard areas. The directions of land use changes for the studied period are also analysed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
