title: Assessment of the internal consistency of physico-geographical units using landscape metrics and statistical methods: case study of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine
abstract: Physico-geographical regionalisation is a major task of physical geography and involves many schemes based on different initial assumptions and different ways of dividing an area into spatial units. Satellite images can be used as a source for regionalisation; they allow the analysis of large areas and support such divisions. We examined Herenchuk’s (1980) scheme of Khmelnytskyi Oblast (Ukraine), which distinguished 17 landscapes. Using unsupervised classification of Landsat 8 images, five land-
