The paper focuses on perception of landscape, forest and settlement in four Czech protected landscape areas (Kokořínsko, Český Kras, Železné Hory, and Blaník). It studies the relation of perception between the mentioned variables. To study this relation the probability model of logistic regression and Spearman's correlation coefficient are applied. Necessary data for conducted analysis are collected through visitors' (both tourists and residents) survey in studied areas. Data collection was effectuated during summer 2011. The results prove the positive relation between studied variables and are supposed to help to improve economical, ecological and social conditions of these areas.
