The taxonomy of agricultural holdings' land use structure of the CEEC countries that are the EU members aims to investigate the diversity of this phenomenon and its evolution in 2005-2010. In order to establish homogenous clusters of land use, a structural taxonomy technique called the vectors elimination method was employed. The research outcome was the split of the entire data set into 5 subgroups characterizing more homogenous land use structures. Migrations of countries between the taxonomic subgroups over time were determined by the character of the transformation of the land use structure.

Keywords: agricultural land, vectors elimination method, CEEC countries
