Estate maps and their importance for the study of historical landscapes and serfdom towns
Tůmová, Martina ; Semotanová, Eva (advisor) ; Frajer, Jindřich (referee) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee)
The dissertation deals with the knowledge and reconstruction of the historical landscape of the early to the upper modern period using cartographic sources, maps of the estates from the 18th and the first half of the 19th century, which have not been exploited so far. It seeks answers to the questions of what changes occurred in the landscape during this period and documents them, especially on the example of the serfdom towns in Bohemia. The dissertation is interdisciplinary in nature. It tries to contribute to research in historical geography and to fit thematically into the concept of studying historical landscapes (from identification and documentation to understanding the meanings of their transformations). However, it also uses the approaches of historical cartography in the research, analysis and processing of hitherto neglected cartographic sources - sources of information about the past. Attention in the study of historical landscapes and urban history has so far been paid rather to the younger period from the mid-19th century onwards, mainly because of the availability, mostly wider possibilities of processing the necessary historical sources (topographically more accurate old maps and plans of comparative character) and the accuracy of their narrative value. The older period up to the...

Cartometric a semiotic analysis of Voght's map of Bohemia
Marvanová, Pavlína ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čábelka, Miroslav (referee)
Cartometric and semiotic analysis of Vogt's map of Bohemia Abstract The aim of the thesis is to make a complete analysis of the historical map of Bohemia, which was created by Mauritius Vogt in 1712. The first part of the paper contains the biography of the cartographer and the summary of his other work. In the second part I completely analyse the map and all the elements of the map's frame. The map is rated also in the view of cartometry. In the following part of the work I accomplish the semiotic analysis of map's key with the comparison with other historical maps of Bohemia. In the last part of the paper I compare all the publications of Vogt's map. Within the framework of the analysis I create the map based on the Vogt's map in GIS. Keywords: Vogt's map, old maps of Bohemia, analysis, cartometry, semiotics, vectorization

How to cope with positional inaccuracies in old maps?
Soukup, Lubomír
This paper focuses on the utilization of historical essays and their interpretation The thing is that when maps created in various times are compared, position discrepancies are discovered. In such cases it is sometimes difficult to decide whether the discovered discrepancy results from the inaccuracy of old maps or whether a change in the landscape really occured. These problems can be solved by means of the probability theory and mathematical statistics. The mathematical statistics can thus contribute to higher objectiveness of the conclusions of historical and cartographic research.
