“…The roots of the Franciscan Cadastre lay in the Josephian Cadastre (1785-1790), which was the first modern cadastre in the territory of the Monarchy for the purposes of the geographic research of historical landscapes. The Josephian Cadastre was not equipped with maps, but the term "cadastral municipality" with exact borders was introduced [37].…”

A systematic approach to the establishment of the Franciscan Cadastre, which has been performed in most Central European countries, has resulted in the following documents: cadastral maps, cadastral municipality boundary demarcation records, lists of land parcels, lists of building parcels and lists of possessors. The documentation, which is stored in various archives, is digitized and made available to users through catalogs. The availability of documentation was examined in this study using three services in the catalogs—discovery, view and download—of which the largest percentage of documents is available through the discovery service. Documents that are available through the discovery service are described by the metadata standards. In this study, we examined the applicability of geographic information metadata standards and metadata standards to archival documentation in catalogs in which cadastral documentation was found. We determined a lack of application of geoinformation metadata standards, as it was a cadastral dataset, which represented one of the fundamental spatial datasets. The semantic mapping of elements between the applied standards in the catalogs and the geoinformation metadata standard (ISO 19115) showed that it was possible to apply the ISO 19115 standard to documents resulting from the establishment of the cadastre.

“…Focusing on ponds larger than 0.5 ha, more than 31% of them (over 15,000 ha) disappeared from the landscape. The "first wave" of pond destruction, which appears to be more significant based on regional studies (David and Černochová, 2020;Frajer, 2019;Skaloš et al, 2011;Šimůnek et al, 2014), however, has not yet been studied on a larger scale.…”

Historical maps are a valuable resource in landscape research. The information gathered from them facilitates the cognisance of landscapes and may assist current landscape planning. This study focuses on the historical occurrence and spatial extent of man-made ponds in the Czech Republic. Based on the 1st Military Survey maps (1764–1783) of the Habsburg Monarchy, we use Historical GIS to identify 7,676 man-made ponds in the historical landscape. Compared to the 2nd Military Survey maps (1836–1852), 56% of these man-made ponds had been drained. Such disappearances mostly affected large ponds in fertile agricultural areas, but also affected small reservoirs in less fertile areas at higher altitudes. As the current maps and spatial datasets (Water reservoirs, Landscape water regime, Farming areas) show, a number of these agricultural regions have been affected by climate changes and face water shortages. The historical map information of former ponds has the potential to contribute to their restoration in areas where water retention in the landscape needs to be increased.

“…The areas of former ponds were then most commonly transformed into fields and meadows (Pavelková et al, 2016), occasionally into new residences and accompanying facilities, or industrial areas (Kopp et al, 2015). The existence of original ponds can often be uncovered only with the help of old maps or historical cadasters (David & Černochová, 2020;Frajer, 2019;Havlíček et al, 2014). A number of relics of dams can still be seen in the landscape as monuments to the existence of ponds.…”

The rapid expansion of urban areas has been a feature of the industrial age. Landscape features have been replaced or transformed to accommodate the needs of an increasingly urban society. Our study focuses on the disappearance or transformation of man-made ponds in the historic region of Bohemia in the Czech Republic. Using current and historic maps, orthophotography and a digital terrain model, we have identified over one thousand former ponds within the 34 cities that were selected. The original dam structures have been identified in association with 437 ponds, most of which have been used as embankments for transport infrastructure. In areas within the immediate vicinity of the cities, modern agriculture now utilizes the sites of former ponds. The Main Map shows the results of our survey, revealing the quantity and nature of this landscape change together with a detailed case study in the city of Pilsen.
