“…It was easiest to identify such places in the city centre, where most of the buildings have survived to this day. Problems occurred with the locations of these points on the former periphery of the city [37], which have undergone the greatest spatial transformation over the last few decades. The next stage of the work was the interpretation and screen digitisation of the contour drawing.…”

The authors undertook to examine and analyse the changes in the relief in Łódź city centre over a period of over one hundred years. Archival cartographic resources containing morphometric information and contemporary laser scanning data (LIDAR) are used to analyse changes. This required appropriate transformation of these data to generate a differential relief map. Information on the geographical environment (waters, relief) is linked to the spatial development of the city. The analyses revealed several characteristic types of changes occurring in the area, which are presented in the form of case studies.

“…In the case of GIS tools, this stage has to be preceded by the spatial alignment (georeferencing) of archival cartographic materials. Calibration of the historical map is a vast subject, which has already been discussed at length in the literature [6,18,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68].…”

The principal aim of this paper is to present the capabilities of newly developed GIS tools for measurement analysis of urban spatial layouts, using the square grid method. The study of urban morphology and metrology is a multistage process, which involves the metrological analysis of town plans. The main research step is the determination of measurement modules of town layouts, using the square grid. By using GIS software, the authors developed a new tool, named HGIS Tools, which allow to create any number of modular grids with the selected cell size that corresponds to urban units of distance and surface area. When investigating a large number of towns and cities, this offers a significant improvement of the research procedure. The paper presents a test of the tool’s potential on the example of regular medieval towns from the area of the former Teutonic Order state (currently the territory of Poland), diversified in terms of size, genesis and morphometrics. The obtained results confirmed that HGIS Tools allowed to determine the hypothetical measurement module of the layout of the cities studied. The results were consistent with the analyses of other authors carried out with the traditional grid-square methods. The test of the HGIS Tools showed their significant potential in conducting morphometric analyses of spatial arrangements of urban spatial layout on a larger scale.

“…In order to perform adequate graphical conversion, the appropriate kind of geometric correction must be selected. For this, available transformation types were tested and the one generating the fewest errors and distortions was selected [21]. After testing, the 'adjust' transformation was performed.…”

The authors analyze topography changes related to the construction and operation of the Bełchatów Brown Coal Open Mine and Power Plant, one of Europe’s larger open-pit mines, situated in central Poland. In order to achieve this, a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) is prepared, based on archival materials from the pre-investment period. Source materials include German topographical maps, issued in 1944 by the Supreme High Command of the German Army (Oberkommando des Heeres/Generalstab). The second model of the same area is prepared based on DEM data included in the Topographical Database available by CODGiK (Main Centre of Geodetic and Cartographic Documentation). The preparation of two terrain models from different periods make it possible to evaluate the changes in the morphometry. Both models are compared using ArcGIS (ESRI) tools. The comparative analysis of the models allows for observing topography changes resulting from anthropogenic transformations related to the construction of the Brown Coal Open Mine Bełchatów and Power Plant complex.
