Abstract: - Post-industrial landscapes in the Czech Republic – A GIS assisted
search for present state. Using additional datasets on industrial areas in
CORINE, brownfields, human-made landforms, undermined sites, open air mining
sites, contaminated sites and industrial architectural heritage, 128 examples of
postindustrial landscapes (PILs) were identified on the Czech territory. All the
adopted data sets were preprocessed for the GIS mapping procedure. These PILs
were subdued to the genetic classification. One- to four-word-names were applied
to describe individual PIL types. Their geographic distribution was analyzed in
the Czech Republic and their location compared with selected natural landscape
features.
Key-words: post-industrial landscape, identification criteria, GIS classification and typology, territorial distribution
