Abstract: Landscape structural changes were studied at Oponice cadastral territory within three time horizons of 1869, 1949 and 2010 years. For assessment were used historical and contemporary maps, aerial photos and supported by field research.
Identified changes shows almost balance proportion in forest, arable land and water elements within study horizons. To the category, where landscape element proportions were increased belong built-up areas, roads, gardens and vineyards
and non forest woody vegetation. Proportion of grassland has been decreased rapidly from almost 10% to 1% within 1869 and 2010s. Landscape architecture changes and values show in mosaic plot structure, when small size were alternated
by large scale ones. The all identified changes are close related to social economy development land use form and management technology intensification. During 60s of last century passed hard process of agricultural collectivisation
related to land consolidation and land ownership changes. Many small groves were cute down, wet-lands drainages, and grassland plough-up and new wind breaks established by planting of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) predominantly.
Landscape variability and colourfulness were decreased. New technical human works were constructed as three dimension space elements. Culture historical values were suppressed and landscape being enriched by new elements as reflection of
standard landscape development. Contribution describes particular landscape changes and values.
