Abstract:
The article presents the results of the analysis of the land cover and land use in the area of the Krumovitsa River Basin (Eastern Rhodopes) in relation to the local geomorphometric variables altitude above Sea level, slope and aspect and slope’s curvature. Data on CORINE Land Cover and Land Use for 2012 has been used. The obtained results represent a geomorphometric characteristic of the terrain using these variables and their spatial distribution for each land cover and land use class using Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
