Physical geographical typology of small towns of Moravia and Silesia
Lacina, Jan ; Kirchner, Karel ; Kallabová, Eva
Solving the project “Geography of small towns” the specifics of these numerous settlements were researched even from the view of various physical geographical disciplines, mainly geomorphology and biogeography. During the last phase three indexes for physical geographical typology of small towns and their hinterlands were selected: types of relief, vegetation belts and types of contemporary landscape. On the basis of their synthesis the set of 124 towns was differentiated into 18 types. Typology presents that small towns of Moravia and Silesia are located in very various environments and are surrounded by varied mosaic of types of contemporary agricultural, agricultural-forested and forested landscapes.

Hrádek, Mojmír ; Kallabová, Eva
Some of villages (Bystřec, Dolní Chlévské) founded in the colonized upland territories in the Middle Ages were damaged by floods soon after their foundation. A question is raised whether the demolition of farmhouses due to high waters relates to the impact of deforestation and agricultural cultivation of soil, or whether it had to do with the climatic changes as often considered today. There in no doubt that from AD 1250 an important role in increasing frequency of floods played LIA.
