Time series of historical maps, of aerial and satellite imagery of National Park regions have to be analysed by combined methods of
visual and digital interpretation based on topochronological comparison and supported by tools of image and geographic information
analysis (GIS) First results concerning case studies in the National Park Region Neusiedler See prove for the efficiency ol these
approaches (Csaplovics et Senffner 1991, Csaplovics et al. 1994, Csaplovics et al. 1996, Csaplovics 1998, Herzig et al. 2001).
