This study analyzed the changes in the main forms of agricultural and nonagricultural land-use in rural areas in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship in 2005 and 2010 based on the materials of the Geodesy and Cartography Office in Toruń. The analysis of agricultural land was limited to only arable land, orchards and permanent pastures which were conventionally defined as an "agricultural production area". The areas of use were divided into two main forms: 1 suburban areas (housing, industrial areas, other areas of built-up land, the suburbs of non-build-up areas, roads and mining land; 2 tourist-recreational areas (including forest lands, trees and shrubs, recreational land, waters and ecological grasslands). The assessment of the land for tourism also includes the natural, cultural and tourist assets of rural areas in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. In assessing changes in the structure of land use, the directions and trends of further changes in the use of the surrounding rural areas in the province were also indicated.
