Land planning is more and more understood to be a decisive tool, by means of which the society secures the systematic solving of functional, economic and engineering problems of the arrangement of landscape settlement, the rational use and protection of natural resources. The paper deals with an evaluation of four selected geobarriers (flood lands, radon hazard, undermining and slope movements) by means of geographic information systems that are geofactors endangering or limiting landscape and environment or make ...

The basic precondition for town planning, foundation engineering in a certain area is the integrated knowledge of engineering-geological conditions that form a decisive factor for good-quality and functional foundation of potential structures. Research was carried out into a chosen model research area in the part of Ostrava-Karvina Coalfield with various characters of foundation soils, with significant influencing by anthropogenic and other geodynamic processes and geofactors, with a possibility of future applying...

The paper aims to point out the utilization of needed geofactors in land-use planning, which represent important limiting conditions for future activities in interest areas, especially in terms of construction of future structures. Through the departments of land-use planning or building offices, a developer or investor should be informed about significant limiting natural factors, which may affect the implementation of the future constructional work as well as the choice of the building lot. Those conditions natu...

The paper deals with the description of natural conditions and implemented geophysical survey of a scientifically interesting slope deformation Doubrava Ujala, located in the municipality of Doubrava near the city of Karvina in the north-east of the Czech Republic in the reach of the effects of undermining caused by underground black coal mining. It is the case of the most extensive underground mineral mining in the Czech Republic, while the changes in the geological conditions are assumed to affect the slope defo...

The paperedeals with the results of an analysis of landscape element changes, such as forests, water areas, agricultural areas, built-up areas, anthropogenic shapes in the selected area. The applied method makes use of the possibilities of Geographical Information Systems, terrain observation, documentation and study of archives. The starting time period for which the landscape character analysis was carried out is the year of 1946 (military aerial photos) and the present time (maps). The research is localized in ...
