摘要:Based on the dialectical principle, an attempt was made to analyze in details the impact of relief on land cover and land use. To achieve this objective, the Llap river basin was chosen. The Llap river basin lies in the north-eastern part of Kosovo, which is discerned as a morphological whole with particular physical-geographic elements. Since the past, relief was a factor with direct and indirect impact on land cover and especially on land use. The essential part of the analysis was the correlation of the geomorphometric parameters (altitude and slope) with land cover and land use. For calculating these parameters, a digital elevation model of 12 m / pixel was downloaded from the Alaska Satellite Facility. On the other hand, the CORINE Land Cover 2012 data from the European Environment Agency (EEA) were used for land cover. The completion of the analysis was done in that form for each category of geomorphometric parameters was compared with land cover and land use. It is evident that relief has influenced the Llap basin, both in the extent of settlements and in the activities that human develop on this land.
