The purpose of the paper was to point out the significance of the discussion about the character of historical geography, its form and future development. What is, or what should be, the subject matter of historical-geographic research? As far as the present state of historical geography is concerned, we can find the following deficiencies: 1) unexplained status somewhere between historiography and geography, or the subject matter and object of research; 2) unexplained purpose and target of historical geographic research; 3) fragmentation of research and weak internal integrity of the field; 4) very descriptive character of research hardly focused on explaining and searching for regularities (rules); 5) low applicability of research results. With regard to the aforementioned issues, the author came up with several statements regarding future development of historical geography: 1) Historical geography is mostly geography, geographical science. 2) Even though it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish between historical geography and other geographical disciplines, its undisputable contribution is the fact that similarly as history it becomes a bridge between our past and presence. 3) Historical geography should emphasize space, rather than time, it is mostly about geographical organisation of landscape in the given period, i.e. a space-time science. On the other hand historiography which focuses on linear development in time and on chronology is (more of a time-space science. 4) Nomothetically oriented historical geography should research the state and development, causes and mechanisms of landscape changes or changes of its individual components during a certain period in the past. 5) It is necessary to initiate a broader discussion about the understanding of time and history in historical geography. It is necessary to try to define more clearly its subject matter and topic of research. 6) The purpose of historical geography is not to describe and explain the development of selected landscape features in time by means of a retrospective method. Its purpose is to understand the complexity and function of past landscape, landscape spheres. Only such historical geography can become a real geography of the past. 7) The above-described understanding of historical geography would also enable us to apply historical-geographic knowledge.

Based on a well-preserved written material documenting the division of family property of Wolfgang of Krajk (d.1491) between his sons and heirs, we can ask a number of questions directly or indirectly related to the viability of these texts. Three documents have survived and they reflect three phases during which the Krajk estate was divided. Registers where individual villages were recorded (including their payment and in kind duties), feudal farms and work duties had to be prepared before the first deed was written in March 1487. Wolfgang of Krajk divided his family demesne into three parts by means of this deed. It was possible to study the Krajk demesne registers which survived along with the related deeds not only with regard to the landscape (such as the state of the pond network) and settlement development (development of residential network - many villages were mentioned in the registers of 1487 for the very first time, there were villages which ceased to exist temporarily or permanently, a network of farms and feudal manors and others), but also with regard to formal aspects. The extant sources suggested also other aspects and a broader context - namely the formation of Nova Bystrice as a noble residential town with usual attributes of noble residential towns during the late Middle Ages, and an effort to achieve indivisibility of the family demesne. The appendix contains edited registers (1847), three deeds by means of which Wolfgang of Krajk gradually divided his estate between his sons (1487, 1489, 1490) and the text of a Jan of Selmberk's testimony (1491) given during disputes between members of the Krajir family. The fact that so soon disputes broke out among the brothers and subsequently the family estate was divided, illustrates the traditional contradiction between testator's wish (the three Wolfgang's deeds were in fact tools intended to arrange his own estate) and the actual situation.

The main purpose of the paper was to give a picture of the development and the status of historical geography in Slovakia by presenting a list of literature dealing with historical geography. The development of this field of study can be divided into four main periods. During the first period (before 1918), we can emphasize the role of authors who could be considered first historical geographers in Slovakia and who significantly influenced the subsequent development of this discipline. The real beginning of this discipline falls into the subsequent period between 1918-1945. F. Bokes was the most significant figure in historical geography. During the third period (1945-1989) historical geography became a full-scope science in Slovakia. Theoretical definition of the discipline was first worded by geographer J. Martinka. From the beginning of the 1960s the most famous name connected with this discipline is J. Zudel. After 1989 the interest in historical geography and all its aspects, the physical, humane and political one, rose significantly. The increased interest is documented by the list of university courses focusing on this field of study which is attached to the paper. Regarding this point, the author points out that beside two geographical universities, historical geography is currently also lectured at six historical universities.

We focused on the basic aspects of settlement desertion in Bohemian borderland after 1945 in our study. With regard to the absence of sufficiently detailed sources, we focused only on some settlements existing as of 01/12/1930. We defined two basic periods of settlement desertion. Settlements were deserted in various places and for various reasons during these periods. Approximately by the mid-1960s mostly small and insignificant settlements were deserted. These were either located at higher and inaccessible places close to the border or in newly established military districts. Towards the end of the 1960s the number of deserted settlements was reduced significantly and never was so large again. During these later periods deserted settlements were mostly located in lowlands and river basins which resulted from coal mining development and industrial activities. This tendency peaked in the 1970s and 1980s when also large and more significant settlements were deserted in the above specified areas. Changes in the settlement structure resulted neither from the border distance nor from preferences of inhabitants, but from the distribution of certain natural resources. Desertion of settlement does not only change physical structures in the given location, but it completely and extremely changes its features and its relations with other landscape components. We cannot support the statement that in future no settlements will be deserted, even though as far as some significant settlements are concerned we can nearly rule this possibility out. With regard to the current intensity of Czech settlement area utilisation, we cannot expect significant settlements to be deserted for any other reason than short-time - as far as the settlement development is concerned - power decisions. We can assume that less significant settlements are deserted in consequence of settlement development and its permanent restructuring. These settlements are located either in less exposed areas where changes are slow, or on the other hand, in exposed areas with high intensity of changes. In the first case the changes connected with desertion of a settlement are very slow and usually not perceived by people and in the second case intense changes are considered a part of the natural development in the area.

The purpose of the paper is to show the options for easily accessible tools suitable for presentation and processing of old maps and vedute. It can also be a springboard for both those who are just interested in this field and those who are seriously involved in processing of historical documents and are searching for a suitable software. Those who are really interested can go through a graduation thesis or search the enclosed CD or DVD which contain other materials, data from all lectures and also most of the software mentioned here. The thesis is also accessible on the www.staremapy.cz. Beside the aforementioned, the thesis deals with classification of historical documents in the library system. Searching through large collections of old maps and classification of search results according to the relevance towards questions is also very interesting.

In 1830 an atlas called 'Historiogramm des PREUSSISCHEN STAATS von 1280 bis 1830 n. Christus im sinchronistischen Verhältnis zu dem Nachbarstaaten (...)' is published. On 6 tablets it shows the history of Hohenzollern against the background of Central Europe. As indicated by the headings of the tablets, they portray 'rivers of events' (Zeitstrom), which may be joined up to form a coherent whole. Then these rivers 'flow' from top to bottom, that is to say from north to south, toward the sea. In their 'upper' reaches stretching to the middle ages they are winding and narrow, but widen where they become located in the rivers of Hohenzollern, flowing on to the next centuries. Prior to 1830 they connect at the source like a delta. These analogies with nature are further strengthened by the fact that the rivers of Prussian events are blue, while the country and land retain different classificatory colours. Such a presentation reveals the inevitability of historical events governed not by people, but by nature. Against such processes, humankind is powerless and should surrender. History has its own logic and purpose - in the context of which the domination of Prussia in Europe is simply the uniquely revolutionary and consistent unfolding and growth of a nation. Thus, the historiogramm becomes an apologia, in the spirit of Friedrich Hegel, for the Prussian monarchic system. Its presentation of history has didactic value, and is as such a model Biedermaierean creation of ideology. Furthermore, it is an interesting suggestion of the creation of a visual historical narrative, connecting pictures of events with a presentation of the space in which these events occur.

Data obtained from Trebon State District Archives clearly show that the South-Bohemian National Agricultural Association (hereinafter the SBNAA) succeeded in attracting the attention of people from the local and state administration to the needs of South-Bohemian water management and to plans for new water works during the years the association existed, 1925-1941. SBNAA actively participated in organising water management events. They initiated the cooperation of interest organisations, government bodies responsible for water-management services and consultancy boards. The paper follows the work of the SBNAA which concentrated on the Vltava mostly and describes the process of preparation of plans for the construction of a dam lake in Vltava near Zelnava and subsequent plans for the construction of water works near Frymburk and Lipno. The economic crisis in 1929-1933 and subsequent economic recession resulting from the preparation of Czechoslovakia and the whole national economy for the construction of a fortification system prevented the commencement of the construction which had been prepared in plans. Drawings of the dam and all the expected parameters of the planned lake on the Vltava near Zelnava, including plans for the modification of the confluence of both the Vltavas in a scale of 1 : 5760 has been recently discovered in the Fund of the SBNAA. The lake was supposed to have the dam made of soil with a sealing clay core; on the flooded side the dam was supposed to be 12.6 m above the riverbed. The spot height of the dam crest was supposed to be 735 metres, and its crest width 7 metres; the spot height of the riverbed in the axis of the dam was 722.4 metres, maximum width of the dam at its foundations was approximately 80 metres. This enables us to calculate the size of the area which was supposed to be flooded partly or completely: Frymburk, Dolni Vltavice, Cerna v Posumavi with its graphite mines and many other villages, secluded residences or settlements. The map of the lake itself has a Czech key. No wonder that all individuals affected by the construction of the dam (such as the Schwarzenberk's and their graphite mines) as well as villages actively protested against the project and were successful eventually. Financial problems were the greatest impediment to the implementation of the project, its overall cost, lack of money and unwillingness of the government to fulfil all its promises and obligations.

Ten years have passed since the disastrous floods in Moravia and Silesia in July 1997. It brought about 50 casualties, thousands of human fates stigmatized forever, and immense material losses. The attitude of the media and community to meteorological and hydrological phenomena was entirely changed by the event and they are now paid much more attention than in the past. It was concluded after evaluating the extremity of high waters in 1997 that such flood events occur e.g. on the upper Morava R. reach on average once in 800 years, on the Morava River in Olomouc and on the Opava River in Opava once in 500 years, etc. The floods of 1997 were also an impulse for the rising interest in historical flood events. In the search of past analogies to this disaster in the Czech territory it was demonstrated that high waters at least approximately comparable with those in June 1997 occurred in the upper Elbe R. watershed last in 1897, in the Vltava R. watershed last in 1890 and in the Czech part of the Odra R. watershed last in 1880. The situation of the Morava River basin is however not so simple since there is no analogy to the flood event of 1997 to be determined so far in the whole range of historical floods. The year 1997 is entirely singular in the fact that violent flood waves occurred at the same time within an unusually vast territory. A certain analogy - but only for the Becva River basin and to a smaller extent also for the upper reach of the Morava River - might be the above mentioned high water of August 1880. At that time, several days lasting rains affected an extensive area especially in Moravian-Silesian border regions. Most abundant atmospheric precipitation was recorded in the Beskyds Mts. The rains caused floods of particularly large extent in the Odra River basin, namely in its upper section. It was one of the greatest flood disasters affecting this territory in the 19th century. Before the flood event of July 1997 this case from 1880 was considered the most severe natural disaster ever occurring in the Ostrava region. Similarly, on the Becva River, the largest left-bank tributary of Morava R., the high water in August 1880 is taken for the largest flood event occurring in the region before 1997. Its impact can be documented by the fact that it was surpassed only after 117 years.

The aim of the paper is to introduce into scholary circulation rich material connected with the historical and geographical aspect of the culture of the Prussians and their neighbours and to direct attention to the importance of archaeological materials for the study of historical geography of the southeastern Baltic region. Part I is composed of two subchapters. The first is devoted to outlining the history of research, especially archaeological into the history and culture of the Prussians, starting from the first writings and excavations till the first half of the 20th century. The evaluation of work of researchers active in East Prussia in the first half of 20th c. is not unanimous, however thanking to their good methodology of field studies they gave an important contribution to the archaeological study of the region. The author expresses also his critical attitude to the activities of some Soviet researchers, who studied that region after the Second World War. In the last decades the study was conducted by Polish, Russian and Lithuanian scholars. Owing to all these scientific activities we are now in possession of huge source material that enables us to take up various issues, both general and specific ones as well. Subchapter 2 includes the characteristics of the natural environment and changing settlement patterns of the discussed region starting from the Stone Age until the Bronze Age.

We know relatively little about the perception of contemporary historical landscape by serfs. From the 18th century we have the conscriptions from the age of Maria Terezia where is, inter alia, information about local historical landscape. Data for the conscriptions were reported by the serfs (reeves and jurats), so we can see in it their perception of the landscape, too. The author analyses information about different landscape components in this paper, for example selected settlements of the Zvolen County. From the perspective of historic-geographical research, data of historical land use (area of arable land, meadows, pasture lands, vineyards), availability of firewood and building wood or quality of roads have special notice value. The mentions of local mills, pubs or mine and metallurgical industry are interesting for historical topography. Information about damages caused by torrential rain, floods or severe winter and a lot of snow is worth as well. Stated information can be founded mainly in the 4th point of questionnaires made for Teresian register needs.

The subject matter of the paper was the picture of Brandys Castle and the Swedish camp in Stara Boleslav published in the 4th volume of 'Theatrum Europeum' in 1643 for the first time and in 'Topographia Bohemiae, Moravice et Silesiae' in 1650 for the second time. Both the works were published by copper graver and publisher Matthaeus Merian in Frankfurt upon Mohan. The engraving was made according to a technical drawing by Carl Cappi and published in the 1630s-1640s in Merian's publishing house. The engraving can be described as a flat plan seen from the bird's eye view straight downwards. The plan is oriented along the north-eastern - south-western axis and shows an area of approximately 4.5 x 3.3 km. The drawing combines the possibilities of a ground plan and sketches of buildings and shapes, people are missing from the drawing. The basic axes of the plan are the rivers which are (namely the Jizera) not drawn in compliance with the actual situation at that time, the plan does not show the proportional relationships between individual locations properly. On the other hand, Cappi paid more attention to strategic military buildings (the fortification system of the field camp, paths, a temporary bridge across the river). The development complex Brandys nad Labem and Stara Boleslav was situated on the crossroads of two important paths: in consequence of such an advantageous location, the towns were repeatedly overran and ravaged by army troops during the Thirty Years' War. The studied plan by Carlo Cappi shows the fortification system of the Swedish base from which General Baner's army set out on plundering campaigns from the end of May 1639 till mid-March 1640. No traces of the Swedish field camp have survived. However, an aerial picture of 1948 shows one square redoubt - the remains of the fortification system were probably destroyed in the 1950s during the construction of army barracks. Based on a scientific attempt to reconstruct the vegetation in the monitored area we assume that the vegetation and the general features of the landscape were similar to the actual situation in Cappi's plan, even though it is marked with icons only. Only around the cut-off meander of the Labe, wrongly marked as the Jizera, the data is wrong. It is very likely that there was a forest in this area in the 17th century.

Reconstruction maps and cartographic models are commonly used as methods and resources of scientific research (historical, geographical, archaeological, urban etc.) and tools used for processing results of scientific work. The term 'reconstruction maps' started to be used for topic-based maps including historical ones and is commonly used in the professional 'non-cartographic' community. Reconstruction maps have their own genesis and history. We can find maps of this type in historical atlases from the 18th century. At present there is an immense number of reconstruction maps published independently, in atlases or as parts of scientific studies and publications; at the same time, new maps are being created. There is no or completely insufficient registration system of these works. A reconstruction map shows results of research by means of modern methods based on another general geographic and cartographic work, mostly a modern one, but possibly an old one too. Simply said, the term 'reconstruction map' covers in various types of topic-based maps focused on historical matters (archaeological, historical, historical-geographical etc. maps). A reconstruction map is not a cartographic 'terminus technicus', cartographic terminological dictionaries do not know this term and so they do not list it. The thing is that the map reconstructs processes or phenomena which occurred in the past and for the reconstruction modern cartographic tools are used. Archaeologists, historians, historical geographers, ethnologists, people responsible for the preservation of cultural heritage and other specialists use the term 'reconstruction map'. This term is known by specialists in many other disciplines, such as geography, historical geography, geoinformatics, architecture, urbanism, landscape ecology and others. A 'reconstruction map' is, unlike a historical map, a broader term. A 'historical map' is a cartographic 'terminus technicus'. It ranks among topic-based maps, and this could include maps of various social phenomena provided we sort maps according to their contents. The term historical map is also used in connection with historical atlases for schools and the public, and in connection with the popularisation of history. It has its own history reaching back to the 18th century when the first historical atlases were created. Reconstruction maps became an integral part of historical work and research in other related disciplines. What are their prospects? We can expect that in the process of creating reconstruction map, more and more scientific methods will be used. Besides, philosophical aspects of the relationship between people and landscape will be emphasized and we can expect ecological approach to be employed when dealing with issues from the late 20th century. It is beyond doubt that computer simulation and interactive, dynamic electronic maps will be increasingly used in the process of creating reconstruction maps. National as well as professional literature and cooperation with other fields of science provide inspiration for work with reconstruction maps.

'The Historic Towns Atlas' has been published in the Czech Republic since 1995/1996. By 2007 seventeen volumes have been published. The atlases have included not only vedute, old postcards and photos, but also reconstruction maps from the very beginning. They show namely the development of housing in towns, fortification systems, the location of archaeological finds etc. Lots of attention is paid to administrative maps. At present maps are processed by means of modern computer methods, including digital models of landscape and negative plans. A significant portion of this paper is an index of reconstruction maps used in the Historic Towns Atlas, volumes 1-17.

This paper presents landscape parks as objects of research in historical geography, a main advantage of which is its synthetic approach to the study of landscape parks as opposed to the more singular approaches of other sciences that also deal with parks (e.g. dendrology, garden architecture, art history, and biology). It focuses on landscape design and construction principles and their links to the natural and sociocultural environment. It interprets the societal impulses and inspirational bases that led to the expansion of the landscape park fashion, as well as the design basics that define their appearance. It also deals with the contemporary significance of landscape parks and the possibilities for their preservation and restoration. It outlines methods for studying landscape parks.

The catalogue of reconstruction maps of Bohemian character is designed as a part of a project called 'The Atlas of Czech History' which is being worked on by the Historical Institute within the current research intention 'Czech Historical Space within the European Context. Diversity, Continuity, Integration'. In September 2006 it was suggested to prepare and publish this catalogue, either with an atlas or as an independent volume. The catalogue of reconstruction maps will not include all reconstruction maps from the atlases and will have annotations. The main criterion for including individual maps into the catalogue is their professional value (maps with obsolete contents and those surpassed by later research, derived maps, the ones taken over from other works or re-printed, often simplified, maps published just for information shall not be included in the catalogue). The excerption focused on the period after 1945, however, older maps, if still valuable, shall be registered as well. Map contents will be specified by explanatory comments. The catalogue (index) structure - which needs to be clear and user-friendly - will result from continuous confrontation between the primary rough concept, derived from the general concept of Czech history, and specific materials obtained from excerpts. From the technical point of view, there are two basic approaches available - a text and a database; the possibility of fulltext searching places a text file to the same level as a database from user's point of view, whereas the profit resulting from the possibility to ask more complicated 'multiple-level' questions (as we know them from library and bibliographical databases with dozens or hundreds of thousands of items) seems to be hardly apparent in the given situation. It is assumed that beside a printed issue (with a list of authors, geographical locations and possibly also subject matters), the text - or possibly the database if this form is selected - of the catalogue will also be published in the electronic version, either on the Internet or as a CD-ROM.

The article deals with the topography and spatial development of the village Červeník since the late of the 19th century to the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. It focuses mainly on developments and changes that have occurred in the village until the year 1960 in terms of area, the construction boom and other related aspects. Particular attention is paid to changes of the cadastral boundaries, especially in relation to the neighboring village Leopoldov, which has mainly expanded at the expense of Červeník in the 20th century. The study is supplemented by a sample of the original cadastral maps and clearly marked map of the municipality area in 1894.

The focus of this paper is concentrated on the problem of research of historical-geographical spatial development of towns in Slovakia. Methodology of cartographic processing is presented on the example of analysis of the development of two towns: Nové Mesto nad Váhom and Poprad. This paper deals with the spatial development of these two towns in comparable timeframes and it identifies areas with diverse functional land use and depicts these areas on a series of specific mapping outputs. Another area of interest of this work is the analysis of forming of most stable and non-stable areas of the towns based on information on changes in its functional land use. This paper wants to introduce a geographical point of view on the issues of research of historical-geographical development of the towns in Slovakia.

The aim of the article is to present the linguistic system encompassing all available maritime names (thalassonyms) of the Arab World, derived from Arabic historical and contemporary sources. Non-Arabic names, pertaining in history to the same described water expanses, are only mentioned for comparative purposes. First, certain particular characteristics of a language system are presented, with special reference to Arabic. This is followed by a review and an enumeration of 161 maritime names, with their etymology, in geographical order, with discussion of variant forms: synonyms, near-synonyms, homonyms, and names defined in opposition to each other. The last part is a formal linguistic analysis of all the Arab names as regards their structure and word conjunction patterns, including the question of generic terms, followed by remarks on their lexicographic system and their use, including societal functions.

Matthias Bel offered in his work Notitia Hungariae Novae historico-geographica a contemporary view of the specific studies of Hungarian counties within the Habsburg monarchy. The aim of the study is the historical-geographic analysis and interpretation of particular parts of his work in which M. Bel briefly described the bridges across the specific watercourses. Historical and geographical "exploration" into Bel´s characteristics of bridging of the rivers Váh, Nitra and Dudváh were carried out through a critical commentary of the translation of the original text using scientific literature, old maps, image sources, and results of field research as well as our own knowledge of these issues. The information about bridges which were mentioned by M. Bel corresponded only partially with today's knowledge. Bel´s characteristics of the most important bridges above watercourses provide contemporary image of that category of road constructions in the Nitra County in the first half of the 18th century.
