The implementation of environmental aspects into the common agriculture practices are expected to be supported with a relevant scientific knowledge and landscape data. Retrospectively it is also important to evaluate the impact of particular environmental (agri-environmental) measures on landscape. Regarding this there is strong requirement on geographical (spatial) data to be harmonized and complementary integrated. The aim of presented paper was to identify and to present a unified method of geographical data processing and to identify unified method of environmental indicators/indexes definition and assessment. In case study several thematically different geographical databases were processed. Reference geographical grids with a spatial resolution of 10x10km, 5x5km or 1x1km and spatial analyses in GIS enabled data to be spatially harmonized. The data analyses and environmental indexes assessment in database software enabled data to be thematically harmonized. On the base of case study results we confirmed that reference grid represents appropriate tool for different geographic data harmonization. As well, presented method enables to specify new landscape data with high potential in rate and the degree assessment of environmental aspects integration in agriculture.
