New mapping of post-industrial landscape in Czech Republic
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Klimánek, M.
Using additional databases on industrial architectural heritage, 128 examples of post-industrial landscapes (PILs) were identified on the Czech territory. These PILs were subdued to the genetic classification. One-to four-word-names were applied to describe individual PIL types. Their geographic distribution was analyzed in the Czech Republic.

Postindustrial landscape – geographical look at the revival of traditional phenomenon of Czech lands
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Kirchner, Karel
The paper deals with postindustrial landscapes in the general level and in concrete territory. The inventory, classification and typology of such landscape on the territory of the Czech Republic are among other research tasks. The detail research is focused on the selected representative areas of the postindustrial landscape. The postindustrial landscape of Rosicko-Oslavansko (the former iron and coal industry area 20 km west of Brno) was subdued to the goal specific land use mapping and the contributions of the pre-industrial and the industrial periods to the present land use were inventoried.

Subjekt of thinking. Physical geography – a vision of Czech science for 21 st century
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Kirchner, Karel
The certain present retreat of physical geography from the primary scientific scene is assessed in the paper. The authors discuss sets of present strong and weak features of the Czech physical geography (tradition, expansion to foreign countries, application of modern technologies, openness to outputs from other sciences, as well as low its low promotion potential and dominanting focus on analytic research). The contribution is designed basically to open discussion about the future of the Czech physical geography.

The windthrows in Šumava Mts caused by Kyrill hurricane and terrain features
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Klimánek, M. ; Mikita, T. ; Svoboda, Jaroslav
Relationships between the windthrow origin and location on one hand and terrain features (slope, aspect, elevation,curvity etc.) on the other hand were geostatistically derived. While the impact of individual terrain features was statistically low, the complex terrain influence based in the terrain windthrow risk classes was statistically important. Relationships between the windthrow origin and location on one hand and terrain features (slope, aspect, elevation,curvity etc.) on the other hand were geostatistically derived. While the impact of individual terrain features was statistically low, the complex terrain influence based in the terrain windthrow risk classes was statistically important.

Advanced analysis of windthrows using GIS
Mikita, T. ; Kolejka, Jaromír ; Klimánek, M.
Forest damages caused by storm winds are very common event in Šumava Mts. since written history. Growing number of hurricanes here is followed by large wind fall and endangered local economy, nature protection, human life and recreation. Geographical analysis using GIS was applied to identify main factors influencing the location and level of damages.

Přenos českých krajinářských zkušeností do pouštního prostředí k podpoře archeologického výzkumu
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Misáková, L. ; Brůna, V.
The landscape mapping represents a traditional activity of Czech geographers for long time. Czech landscape cartography experience supported by remotely sensed data and GIS technique was used in the research of Al-Baharíya oasis (Egypt, Western Desert) to compile the map of present landscape with natural and human-made objects, but also for completing the reconstruction natural landscape map showing the study area in the approximate time of early settlement. Such product presents selected sites, today covered with sandy dunes, where the possibility of ancient dwelling sites is higher in analogy with sites of present archaeological excavation.

Future of tourism: Balanced cultural landscape against landscape view
Kolejka, Jaromír ; Marek, D.
The landscape individuality represents one of main points attracting visitors. Any cultural landscape reflects both the natural features, forms and ways of their utilizing by humans, as well as traditions and interests of people and individuals. Specific cultural landscapes originated in relatively isolated regions in the past. At the present, when the information exchange is so unlimited, the differences between cultural landscapes are missing. Identified convergence among landscapes across the international border can reduce their attraction for tourists.
