THE ANALYSIS OF SOME PROPERTIES OF LANDSCAPE THROUGH HIERARCHICAL CLUSTER ANALYSIS
Abstract
The main aim of the contribution is development the spatial structure analysis of the landscape on the basis of evaluation the classes of land cover and their extension in the model territory in two time horizons (1956, 2009) on the bases of GIS technologies with using superstructure software Patch Analyst for ArcView GIS and as well as using mathematical and statistical methods which is each other combined also with traditional geographic field research. These methods were complemented by the results of explorative analysis presented via Chernoff?s faces that showed some similarities and differences in the structure of patches in both time horizons. The input matrix of values for the usage of multidimensional statistical hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering methods was built up of the selected landscape-metrics indices quantifying the specific properties of the spatial structure of patches in the classes of land cover. The model territory is located in Eastern Slovakia on the border of two genetically different tectonical units the Vihorlatsk? vrchy mts. in the north and the V?chodoslovensk? n??ina lowland in the south
