The study documents the basic approaches to identification and land cover/landscape change analysis applied at the Institute of Geography, Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava during the last years. Two basic sets of methods exist by which it is possible to obtain information on landscape changes directly from remote sensing data: visual and computer aided visual interpretation (above all backdating analysis and the method of updating) and digital interpretation methods. The method of computer aided visual interpretation of the Landsat MSS and TM satellite images was applied in the context of the Phare Topic Link on Land Cover and CORINE Land Cover 2000 projects at the Institute of Geography, SAS. Intensification and extensification of agriculture, deforestation, and afforestation were the most distinctly manifested changes in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.
