Abstract

The contribution explains the concept of a pre-industrial landscape. Its study and mapping currently runs in the historical territory of Moravia in the Czech Republic. The process of identifying and mapping segments of the pre-industrial landscape is described in detail. The procedure is based on publicly available data published on the Internet. The starting point is represented by the identification of small-scale parcels of agricultural land (or large-scale parcels around the estates) in the present color orthophotonap. This is followed by the verification of the occurrence of a similar land use structure before 1850 in the maps of the so-called stable cadastre. Further, a current segment status is then identified in the field. The topic experience supports so far the hypothesis that mountain areas show a much lower incidence of preserved segments of an ancient landscape due to a limited extend of soil suitable for cultivation. During the period of socialism, almost all land was nationalized and the land was integrated to large ropes. The small fields were grassed. In fertile areas with a lot of arable land, the nationalization also affected large areas of land, but a certain amount was left in private hands. However, there often the arable land was changed into permanent crops (orchards, vineyards, etc.), especially in the direct contact with the built-up area of the village.
