Geographic information systems (GIS) have made major contributions to landscape mapping and analysis, but they must be used carefully in relation to the properties of particular sets of landscape data and the types of query to be asked. This paper describes two projects undertaken to assess the types and amounts of landscape change occurring in the countryside, using aerial photograph sets from different dates. One project relates to the national parks of England and Wales, the other to the county of Bedfordshire. Results are presented, and the benefits of GIS in processing vast quantities of data and permitting specific queries are reviewed
