Summary/Abstract: The Slovak countryside is looking for new poles of development after the decline of the primary agricultural function after 1989 and becomes a multifunctional space. As the rural function changes, this change also affects the overall landscape diversity. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the degree of diversification of the rural landscape using multi-criteria analysis. There are 13 indicators of different focus (demographic, economic, landscapeecological) entering into this method. The indicators were analyzed in the MCA7 program, which serves to evaluate the multi-criteria analysis. For the model territory was selected the Termal microregion, which consist of 13 municipalities. A central municipality Podhájska is known especially for the development of tourism, which is based on the thermal spring.
