Zmiany użytkowania ziemi i pokrycia terenu Kwidzyna od końca XIX do początku XXI wieku na podstawie analizy materiałów kartograficznych
Changes in the land use and land cover of Kwidzyn from the end of the 19th to the beginning of the 21st century based on the analysis of cartographic materials

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses changes in land use in the town of Kwidzyn during the 19th, 20th and early 21st century. During the analysis of cartographic sources, attention was paid to changes in the area occupied by the city and also to changes in land use by communal and industrial developments, forest and urban green areas, arable lands, mead-ows and water reservoirs. Of the linear features, only changes in the length of railway lines were considered. For the analyzed period, five colour images of changes in land use and land cover are prepared in a GIS software, and supported by quantitative analysis. Although relatively small, the area has been changing in a very dynamic manner, the most marked cases being the decrease in the area of arable land and the increase in forest area.
