Abstract


The increasingly intense influence of man on the environment offers numerous examples of regressive actions: ploughing, public works, disposition of wastes etc.. which, due to their frequency and territorial dimensions, alter landscapes and cause many important impacts. These actions arise from different policies which require general transformation of the environment in order to reach their objectives. In this context, the present article explains the methodology followed and the results obtained in a research whose principal purpose was to relate the transformation which the landscape of the Madrid Community underwent in the period between 1972- Í982 with the road network evolution and the changes in accessibility to different points of the territory registered during this period. These changes happened as a direct consequence of the transport policy developed in the decade.
