91 Years of Change in Numbers
How has the area of the main land-use classes changed between 1933 and 2024?
Arable land
The largest decrease among all analysed land-use classes.
Forests
Forest area increased by more than 1,200 hectares.
Built-up areas
A clear increase associated with the expansion of built-up areas.
Industrial areas
The largest relative increase among the analysed classes.
How Has Land Use Structure Changed?
The share of individual land-use classes in the municipality's area across successive cartographic studies.
Share of the Municipality Where Land Use Has Changed
Between 1933 and 2024, land use changed across approximately three quarters of Czerwonak Municipality.
The value is based on the Land Use Change Intensity (LUCI) index, calculated for the two extreme cartographic studies.
How Has Czerwonak Municipality Changed?
Nine decades of land-use change can be divided into several distinctive stages.
Agricultural Landscape
The beginning of the analysed period shows a municipality with a distinctly agricultural character. Arable land accounted for approximately 58% of the area of today's municipality.
The Beginning of Major Changes
Compared with 1933, the area of arable land decreased, while forest and built-up areas increased. The beginning of a long-term transformation in land-use structure becomes visible.
Industrial Development
In the following decades, industrial areas became an increasingly prominent element of the landscape. In Czerwonak, industrial facilities developed in connection with industry, agriculture and transport.
Accelerating Urbanisation
Between the 1965 and 1992 map sheets, the largest increase in built-up area during the entire analysed period was recorded.
Major Recent Transformations
Between the 1992 map sheet and the 2013 study, the largest decrease in arable land and the largest increase in green areas among the analysed periods were recorded.
Suburban Municipality
The contemporary landscape of the municipality is characterised primarily by extensive forest areas, expanding built-up areas and a much smaller share of arable land than in the past.
Balance of 91 Years of Change
Between 1933 and 2024, the land-use structure of Czerwonak Municipality changed significantly. The largest changes concern arable land, forests and built-up areas.
The values represent the difference in area of individual classes between the 1933 and 2024 studies. They do not directly mean that a specific area of one class was entirely transformed into another.
