Land uses diachronic changing control with photogrammetrical methods

The land-planning development of the mountainous regions, presupposes diachronic control of the land uses in the four basic axes of development, meaning agricultural, stock-breeding (rangeland), housing-urban and forest use. Therefore previous land uses were compared with contemporary ones. The problem of recording previous land uses can only be solved with photogrammetry application and old aerial photos. Thus in the frames of this paper, maps of land uses of previous years were compared with maps of land uses of contemporary years, under the aim of aerial photos and analytical photogrammetrical instrument (ADAM ASP 2000), in characteristic regions of Greece. From the comparison of the maps conclusions concerning the predominating land use and the tendencies, of the shaped land uses, were drawn.
