Abstract There is a renewed interest in the identification of areas endangered by various soil threats explicitly formulated in EC’s Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection. In our paper we present a functional approach for the regionalization of soil degradation processes combining the relevant map-based data available in nationwide scale. The thematic interpretation and spatial integration resulted in a soil degradation index map, which has been used for the delineation of soil degradation regions as well as for the quantitative comparison of areas based on its appropriate spatial aggregation.
