abstract = "In-depth knowledge about land-use/land-cover
changes, drivers and the driver's importance is nec-
essary both for understanding change processes in
the environment, economy and society as a whole
and further research, modelling and decision-makin g
related to land-use/land-cover changes. The study
assesses the importance of two biophysical and five
socio-economic drivers of land-use/land-cover
changes for six land-use/land cover change pro-
cesses during the 2000–2018 period in Serbia using
mixed methods, GIS and machine learning. The re-
sults indicate that socio-economic drivers, especially
the distance from roads, water and protected areas ,
are more important for national land-use/land cover
change processes than biophysical drivers. The study
gives insights into the drivers' usefulness for model-
ling future land-use/land-cover change processes on
the national level in Serbia. Furthermore, it could be
observed as one of the initial steps in the future anal-
ysis of the effects of land-use/land-cover changes on
landscape diversity, further development of the land-
use/land-cover changes research and related deci-
sion-making processes.",
