摘要：The aim of the article is the evaluation of the applicability of the developed method of automatic geometric integration of land use vector layers for the conditions of the Lower Morava Biospheric Reserve. The input data were the land use vector layers gained through stepwise vectorization for the period of 1840-2006. The method of automatic geometric integration of land use vector layers to a certain extent tries to copy the process of the so called backward vectorization while using input data gained through stepwise vectorization, which it modifies. The aim of the method is to preserve the most accurate planimetry of identical borders during the whole period under study. For the development and a more detailed testing of the method, two model areas have been chosen while comparing the method outputs with the data of backward vectorization. The results confirm the use of the developed method as appropriate for the adjustment of the inputs of the multitemporal land use changes analysis of the area of the Lower Morava Biosphere Reserve. Data adjustment by means of the developed method almost four times reduced the occurrence of sliver polygons when creating the land use change map of the Lower Morava Biosphere Reserve, as opposed to untreated data.
