Urban areas and suburban areas are characterized by large dynamics of changes in land use. At the expense of agricultural land, and sometimes also forests, the share of built-up areas for residential, industrial, service and transport purposes is increased. Lublin is a city in which this process in recent years has become considerably stronger. The significant change of land use, and consequently the transformation of rural landscapes located in its vicinity, is the result. This paper deals with capturing the changes of land use in the city and suburban area in the last 40 years in a spatial (cartographic) and statistical approach. The basis of the analysis were the topographical maps at the scale of 1:10 000 from the 1970s and 1990s, and aerial photos at the scale of 1:13 000 from 2009, in respect of which the size and dynamics of changes have been specified. The largest changes in land use structure have been found in relation to arable land (loss of more than 8,6%), intensive densely built-up area (increase of 2,4%) and low density built-up area (increase of 5%). The communities Jastków, Konopnica, Wólka, Głusk have been areas of the greatest changes. Qualitative changes have been also examined.
