Development of land use around south Moravian water reservoirs and their hinterlands
Havlíček, M. ; Pavlík, F. ; Halas, Petr
The paper evaluates changes of land use in floodplains and background of three South Moravian reservoirs - NovE Mlýny, Vranov and Brno. To follow the development of land use, old topographical maps at a†scale of 1:28 800, 1:25 000 and 1:10 000 were used from the years 1836-1841, 1876, 1933, 1943, 1945, 1953-1955, 1990-1991, 2010. The paper distinguishes 9 basic categories of land use: arable land, permanent grassland, garden and orchard, vineyards and hop fields, forest, water area, built-up area, recreational area, other area. Changes in land use have taken place not only in their own floodplains but also in their wider hinterland (within 1 km). In the evaluation period, all three water reservoirs and their hinterlands registered a†significant decrease in the proportion of permanent grassland and loss of arable land. In the case of NovE Mlýny there was also decrease in forest areas. In the immediate hinterland of water reservoirs Vranov and Brno there was growth of recreation.
