Culturally-historical landscape formation is based on certain functional meanings of elements in landscape space, and subdual of the surrounding space to specific functional needs. Over the last 50 years, the landscape space of Latgale Upland has changed along with territorial policy changes. The aim of the research is to analyse two object groups of culturally-historical importance in the context of regional and local structures such as church landscapes, watermill and small-scale hydroelectric power plant spaces, to define landscape transformation tendencies. The research territory was chosen to be Latgale Upland and its locality (surrounding territory) – Latgale Upland area. The research illustrates that, changes in the processes of regional planning have become an important reason for the transformation of culturally-historical landscapes' available structure, however, the characteristic of culturally-historical attributes and scale proportions in local landscape still exist.
