摘要:The research of the spatial relations of the landscape concentrates nowadays to two important aspects, namely to the creation of proper indices of those relations, and to their realistic, purposeful interpretation. In spite of the broadened scope of mathematically sophisticated indices supported by GIS technologies we steadily require also their landscape ecologically understandable interpretations. In the presented paper we characterise a range of basic configuration indices, as the size and shape of area, the distances, than few modification of the area size of the land cover elements and landscape ecological complexes, such as the ecological quality of the landscape structure, and the calculation of the modified run-off surfaces. The rest of the papers deals with composition indices, such as the landscape diversity based on the entropy, and the contrast.
