The Influence of Horizontal Land Cover Structure Changes Over the Valley Odra River Landscape in the Wrocław Area

This article concerns the subject of landscape changes based on dynamic changes in horizontal land cover over 20 years (1995–2015). The research area is the Odra valley in Wrocław and its surroundings, which is divided into architectural-landscape units and land structure changes using photointerpretative retrospective analysis. Based on this analysis, a characteristic changeability index was specified, which shows the percentage value of changes in each unit. These changes have direct influences on the visual perception of each landscape.
