Official data on actual land use, from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food, have been collected since 2002. The methodology and categorization of actual land use have changed and supplemented over the years. This undergraduate thesis describes and analyzes the changes in the categories of actual land use, in the Municipality of Škofja Loka, for 2002, 2005, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2017 and 2020. The changes were determined using a geographic information system in which we also made maps of actual land use. For each year of actual land use, we created a table of areas for each category of actual land use and their changes over the years. The actual land use of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food was compared with the Municipal land use plan of Škofja Loka and the categories were simplify for an easier comparison of the two land uses. To better understand the changes in the categories of actual land use, it is useful to know the Interpretation Key and the Municipal land use plan of Škofja Loka.
