The main results of long-term analysis of land-use, of environmental and recreation potential of Prague's environs. In the same way were investigated the regions of Rachov, Domažlice and other parts of the western Bohemia borderland. For the current
Two main trends characterize the Czech agriculture in the ninetees: 1) decrease of production and the fact that a half of farmers has left agriculture ; 2) transformation of holder relations with the view to property restitution to persons that lost
lands in the years of socialist collectivisation. The regional disproportions in the process of both phenomena are very important. - (MS)

In research activities in the Czech Republic, the centre of attention has been shifting towards peripheral territories. As a result, there is a project shared by several academic institutions that is focused on the position of the periphery within
the settlement system in the context of European integration. This paper presents several model regions and it focuses on their natural conditions, land-use and prospects for local/regional development. In the analysis, it combines objective data with the results
Land use/Land cover changes in the Czech Republic 1845-1995

An information on the long time research dealing with the land-use changes 1845-1948-1990 and 1995. The article outlines the evaluation of land-use structural changes at the district level of the country. The methodology used at the cadastral level
Changes regarding both transformation of the property relations and the agricultural production have been affecting the Czech agriculture since 1989. Heterogenous climatic and soil conditions predetermine the regional differences. Special forms

On the basis of documentary evidence, proxy-data and instrumental observations, the climatic fluctuation during the last millennium in the CzechLands is analysed. According to narrative sources, the warmest period falls between the 1260s-1380s

The general mental map of Czech Silesia was drawn on the basis of individual respondents maps. It shows the care, domain and peripheral areas of Silesia in the minds of its inhabitants. The method was combined with interviews aimed at establishing

Author deals with land-use structural data available in Czech Republic. Character of the data and its practical use are outlined as well. A summary of three different methods trace the changes of forestland. Practical example from the Domažlice
district in the postwar period shows the real problems of land-use analysis. - (MS)
Extreme summer and winter temperatures in the CzechLands after A.D. 1500 and their Central European context

Extremely cold/mild winters (DJF) and extremely cold/warm summers (JJA) in the CzechLands were derived from series of temperature indices based on documentary evidence (1500–1854) and from series of air temperatures measured at the Prague
-Klementinum station (1771–2007) over the past 500 years. Altogether 24 cold winters, 23 mild winters, 18 cold summers and 21 warm summers emerged. Czech extremes were compared with the Central European temperature series and series of documentary-based
History of strong winds in the Czechlands : causes, fluctuations, impacts

written reports of strong winds and to their impacts in the pre-instrumental period are discussed. The chronology of strong damaging winds in the Czechlands from A.D. 1500-1929 is presented with a division into gales on the one hand and strong winds
Problems of wind speed measurements are analysed. The climatology of strong winds in the Czech Republic during the period 1961-1990 is presented. The main groups of strong winds are characterised according to their origin. The accuracy of historical

Land use changes in Czech border regions (1845-2000)
Arable land ; Czech Republic ; Forest ; Frontier region ; Land use ; Meadow ; Nineteenth Century ; Pastureland ; Twentieth Century
In this study, we examine land use changes in border regions of Czechia during last 160 years. We focused on five most important and interesting land use categories - arable land, meadows and pastures, forested areas and built-up areas. Border
The paper presents results of the field mapping of abandoned lands in the administrative district of the city of Kutná Hora in the Central Bohemia, including 7 cadastral territories stretching over on total area of 33 square kilometres. Field
mapping on the scale 1 : 10,000 was effectively corrected on the basis of the intepretation of detailed aerial photographs. The present survey provides a simple typology of all mapped areas of abandoned lands according to their origin, age
and the character of their current vegetation communities. The results confirm a high diversity and relatively high share of abandoned lands in suburban landscape. The mapping and documentation can form an interesting basis for nature and landscape protection

Two model municipality areas on the Czech-Bavarian (German) border were examined. The objective of research was to determine the changes which land use in different types of the natural environment on both sides of the border has undergone over
of natural landscape units of both areas and land use maps of 1829–1840, 1935–1938 and in 2002–2007. - (EN)
