The following paper describes one possible methodological approach how to evaluate sustainable land use assessment. This methodological approach was created in our research team and with success used for sustainable land use evaluation in two very different territories in the Czech Republic – in metropolitan area of the city of Hradec Kralove and in peripheral agriculture territory (Polička). Our methodology of sustainable land use assessment is based on the thesis that there is impossible to evaluate separately each pillar of sustainability (economical, environmental and social). The sustainability is necessary understand as one entity. Therefore the methodology is based on evaluation of interaction between pillars of sustainability: Environmental x social (Env x S); Environmental x economical (Env x Ek); Social x environmental (S x Ek). The basements for such evaluation are separate expert’s SWOT analysis of territory, whose search and describe “main themes” in area. As a result of such experts SWOT analysis is Complex SWOT analysis with mathematical evaluation of interactions between pillars of sustainability.
