The landscape is constantly changing. These changes are not always favourable for ecosystems or harmonious spatial development. Persistence of land use is one of the most important landscape values, helpful, among others, in the procedure of strengthening protection of particularly valuable areas.<\/p>\n
How to determine the persistence of a landscape and to indicate the oldest landscapes? How to show their ranges on a map? Prof. Urszula Myga-Pi\u0105tek and Dr. Anna \u017bem\u0142a-Siesicka tried to answer these questions, which are important contributions to the research on the persistence of cultural landscapes. On the example of the Cz\u0119stochowa Upland and a detailed case study of Ogrodzieniec, using historical and contemporary maps, the authors indicated landscapes with the highest degree of persistence. Moreover, the authors introduce a new concept into scientific discourse – landscape isochrones. Using isochrones it is possible to indicate on a map the location of the oldest, unchanged landscapes. The research constitutes an initial stage of work on a new methodology of visualising historical variability of landscapes.<\/p>\n
