Abstract This study presents the results of an in-depth study on landscape changes over the last two centuries in the region of Bela krajina, south-eastern Slovenia. Since this region is situated along the Slovenian–Croatian border, immigration and emigration are permanent fixtures in the region. Due to historical reasons, population structure and land use changes occurred. With regard to these processes, two case studies were selected: settlements of Adlešiči and Bojanci. Adlešiči is a village mainly inhabited by farmers of catholic religion. Bojanci was colonized by Orthodox Uskoki, i.e. refugees from Ottoman Empire who become Habsburg soldiers who lived a military life and had different attitude towards land cultivation. Landscapes in these two settlements have its own distinctive patterns contrasting to each other in the land use, showing historically distinctive cultural landscapes. The study aimed to interpret the development of cultural landscapes in these settlements by analysing the land use changes and identifying the factors that influenced it. Even though these sites have different management regimes, they are both affected by difficult karst terrain and isolation. The results confirmed the land abandonment and overgrowth of agricultural land in both case studies, however, at different rates.

边境地区的景观动态：分析斯洛文尼亚南部的土地利用变化

摘要 本研究展示了对斯洛文尼亚东南部 Bela krajina 地区过去两个世纪的景观变化进行深入研究的结果。由于该地区位于斯洛文尼亚-克罗地亚边界沿线，因此移民和移民是该地区的永久居民。由于历史原因，人口结构和土地利用发生了变化。关于这些过程，选择了两个案例研究：Adlešiči 和 Bojanci 定居点。Adlešiči 是一个主要由天主教农民居住的村庄。Bojanci被Orthodox Uskoki殖民，即来自奥斯曼帝国的难民成为哈布斯堡士兵，过着军旅生活，对土地耕种有着不同的态度。这两个定居点的景观在土地利用上有自己独特的模式，展现具有历史特色的人文景观。该研究旨在通过分析土地利用变化并确定影响它的因素来解释这些定居点文化景观的发展。尽管这些地点有不同的管理制度，但它们都受到困难的喀斯特地形和隔离的影响。然而，结果证实了两个案例研究中的土地遗弃和农业用地过度生长，但速度不同。
