“…The sources have been chosen according to their spatial accuracy and detail, which were also confirmed by some of the previous studies dealing with long-term landscape development (e.g. Balej, 2012;Keken et al, 2015). Two sources for the first period (Cadastral Maps and Second Military Survey) have been used to cross-verify the data accuracy because the original purposes of these two datasets differ.…”

Damming and water impoundment have fundamental influences on the geomorphology and ecological processes of lotic systems. Although these engineering projects affect all segments of the river channel, fluvial (mid‐channel, river) islands are among the most threatened features because of their link to both hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects of damming. In this study, we used historical maps (1843, 1852) and aerial photos (1954, 2014), as well as other written and iconographic documentary sources, to document the long‐term development of the fluvial islands and channel planform in the Lower Labe (Elbe) River area (Northern Czechia) over the past ~170 years. Our results indicate the decrease of fluvial islands from 16 (1843), resp. 20 (1852) in the mid‐19th century to eight in 1954, and finally to five in 2014. Most islands have disappeared because of the construction of dams and lock chambers for the purpose of river navigation in the first half of the 20th century. The possible processes responsible for island extinction in individual river segments include sediment starvation (downstream of the dam), erosion by overflow (near upstream of the dam) and decreased flow in inter‐island branches (far upstream of the dam). The islands most susceptible to extinction are those with a smaller size and elliptical or irregular shape. Based on visual evaluation of historical photos and survey of present day temporary islands, the medium and fine sedimentary fraction and absence of a vegetation cover seem to be another predictor of island extinction. Finally, we stress the relevance of our findings for the current discussion on the construction of new lock chambers downstream of the study area. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…S využitím moderních geoinformačních technologií se stalo hodnocení historického vývoje vodních ploch taktéž předmětem zájmu geografů či geoinformatiků [10][11][12][13]. Kromě atraktivního tématu vývoje rybničních soustav se začínají postupně objevovat práce zaměřené na studium vývoje využití krajiny v okolí vodních nádrží [1,14]. Vývoj využití krajiny v zátopovém území vodních přehrad Nové Mlýny a Brno byl zkoumán v několika studiích a pracích [1,[15][16][17][18].…”

“…Changes in the surface of land are primarily result of natural ecological processes and human activities. Studying about these changes requires an interdisciplinary approach that is conducted in the field of tension between social and natural sciences (Keken et al, 2015). Among the factors which are caused significant changes on the earths land surface the land use changes are very important and they are probably the main cause of changes in global environment.…”

Population growth and abundant activities in order to achieve maximum well-being has forced human to make a lot of changes in the nature. These changes will be cost-effective when they have the minimum damage on the landscape. One of the activities that human did for obtaining the water and preventing flood was making the dam in the track of running water. Since the dam is established until its impoundment and after impoundment, the condition of ecosystem and the appearance of the upstream and downstream of the dam will undergo changes. In this study, using satellite data and remote sensing, these changes have been studied and the landuse changes in vegetation, arid land, water level and residential and non-residential lands is measured in 1998 and 2014 using Maximum Likelihood method and support vector machine.
