Annotation	Areas of military activity and mining are parts of the most typical examples that enable study of the effects of anthropogenic landscape transformations. In this project, the municipality of Prameny and its surrounding area, located in the western part of the Czech borderlands, is examined. The landscape changes in the study area were affected by several events, including population loss after World War II, the operation of a military training camp, uranium mining, and the foundation of a protected landscape area. Analyses of population data, old maps and aerial photographs, as well as the results of field mapping, were used to assess the long-term effects of past events on the local landscape and its position within the region at several scales.
