1 Land cover changes in military areas of Czechia The aim of this bachelor thesis was to analyze and compare land cover changes in two areas affected by military activities, in military area Brdy and former military area Ralsko between 1986, 1998 and 2011. Maximum Likelihood supervised classification algorithm and Landsat 5 satellite images was used. Within the work was also examined the usability of Landsat images CDR, with atmospheric corrections applied. Reference data to gain control data were RGB and monochromatic aerial images. The classification system contained eight classes adapted to explored territory. Satellite photographs was classified on surveyed territories for the years 1986, 1998 and 2011, with overall classification accuracy ranged from 80.45% to 90.02%.With these data was further worked, and tables and graphs showing the area of individual land cover in the given time horizons was compiled. Outputs are also land cover maps, change maps and stable land cover maps. The expected trend that in the former military area after leaving the army land cover changed significantly, contrary to the current military area, where changes are minor, was confirmed. Key words: land cover changes, supervised classification, Landsat, Landsat CDR, military areas, Brdy, Ralsko, Geomatica, ArcGIS
