The purpose of STACCATO project (SusTaining AgriCultural ChAnge Through ecological engineering and Optimal use of natural resources) is to investigate the interactions between annual crops and surrounding landscapes in the light of ecological engineering as a tool for eco-functional intensification. Geographical Information system (GIS) was used in this study to map habitat types of indicator species according of the project protocol around semi-natural grasslands and oilseed rapes in Bulgaria target field sites. Recording system of habitats and the database is performed as outlined and reclassified the available areas and objects in polygon, linear and point elements. The permanent land use categories or type of vegetation has been recorded by EUNIS habitat classification or redefined in accordance with the proposed method.
