Abstract

The aim of the explorative study has been to assess whether there is a connection between the spatial distribution of protestant population (religions affected by reformation) and the recently observed spatial heterogeneity of land cover. The empirical approach excludes any historical or cultural analysis, thus it is irrespective for the generating processes, and rather initiates a descriptive overview about the existence of the targeted relation, and about the general quality of this relation. A follow-up research shall investigate the causal relations and need to describe, how the ecologically influential spatial structures of the landscapes are standing in connection with such social processes as reformation has been in the European culture. Recent study has an objective attitude to the descriptive analysis, and applies spatial statistic methods in NUTS 3 regions of three “study areas”: Hungary, Germany and Romania. The utilized input data was collected from the 2011 census and from the landscape indexing of low resolution multispectral satellite remote sensing data of MODIS satellite mission.
