The present paper gives an overview of the survey of LUCAS points in Slovakia. The Land Use/Cover Area frame Statistical survey was designed to collect agricultural, environmental data and photographs by field observation of a specific geographically referenced point. LUCAS 2006 survey in the Slovak Republic was carried out by a Soil Science and Conservation Research Institute (SSCRI).The survey of 3 392 points was organized from the 21st of March till 16th of July. The measurements were carried out by 7teams (in pairs). All points had to be visited, measured with GPS and documented. Documentation included, besides the land use and land cover identification, also photo documentation of 5 - 6 photographs.The controls of surveyors were organised in May by two supervisors who controlled 5 percent of the surveyed points. Important part of the project was the data transfer to Eurostat on weekly basis with a week progress report and transfer of photo documentation biweekly. The result of the project is georeferenced information about the land use and land cover with photo documentation of each point. These results in combination with products of other approaches of agro-environmental variables enable further analyses.
