production as significant ecological and economic activities. Viticul-
ture and wine in Bosnia and Herzegovina have a significant past.
Grape-growing areas offer successful combinations of wine, food
and cultural events for tourism development. Only by the position-
ing of wine cellars in the wider regional and international markets,
can Bosnian and Herzegovinian winemakers use it for economic
development in rural areas of the country. There are four viticul-
tural areas: Mostar, Trebinje, Čapljina, and Posušije. The Council
of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2011 accepted the plan
for the development of wine regions where industrial production
of wine has a great significance for the development of the food
industry. In more recent years, especially after 2001, in the rural
communities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, there have been signifi-
cant spatial changes due to the rapid development of new econom-
ic activities that strongly influenced the transformation of the rural
settlements. However, to achieve effective developmental results
Bosnian and Herzegovinian wines need to become better known
as high-quality wines that can compete with wines from traditional
wine countries, such as Italy, France, Spain or Portugal.

Svečinske gorice is a hilly area south of the Austrian-Slovenian bor-
der that has long been considerably marginal in comparison with
the Austrian side of the border. However, the vineyard areas of this
region are among the most vital in north-eastern Slovenia. Never-
theless, the region has not been spared the processes of deagrari-
zation and subsequent land use changes that are in the direction of
the abandonment of cultivated areas, greening, overgrowth and af-
forestation that can all lead to further marginalization. This article
presents the results of the analysis of land-use changes in the area
