As some has attempted to prove, both “titular” disciplines have different origins. They differ in their development trends and, thus, in the contents, scope and place in the system of sciences. However, different paths of development do not preclude them from tackling the same issues, especially considering that historical geography and political geography both refer, the former in a literal sense, to the unique bond between history and geography. Specific topics, that may seem familiar to both disciplines today, were discussed as far back as the 18th century, when political geography was still defining its identity and attempting to become a valid subject of geography. However, in the case of this discipline, its interests shared with its historical counterpart (concerning such issues as heraldry and toponymy) were mostly incidental and marginal. On the other hand, the issue of territorial divisions (nations, regions, borders), described by historians (or historical geographers) as “historical and political landscapes”, was discussed by both geographies since the very beginning. The main difference between the two – geo- -political and geo-historical – approaches was the temporal perspective they assumed. While the present was most important for political geography, historical geography was more concerned with “former territorial divisions” (thus the term “historical and political landscapes” is apt). Each of the disciplines also treated the research subject differently. Political geography considered “the area described by borders and characterised by some organisation, i.e. above all a state” or region as central, while historical geography acknowledged its importance as one of many elements, apart from the transformed (cultural) environment, settlement, elementary disasters, formed communication network, the history of geographical horizons, toponymy and historical cartography, while referring it, as mentioned earlier, the reconstructed image of the past. With the development of the methodological foundations of both sciences, the belief that “what is today includes what was yesterday, so in order to understand the presence, we have to study the past” grew. This reflection was aided by the deepening relations between historical geography and anthropogeography, which influenced not only the expansion of tasks of the former, but also lead to the inclusion of the “historical element” in the scope of geo-political discussion. Reaching into the past to reveal spatial differences and similarities of a political nature, more and more boldly practised by political geography, was also caused by the references to human history (human “fate”) construed in the spirit of mechanistic determinism, as well as the changes in the political map of the world at the break of 19th and 20th centuries. As their eyewitness, political geography could not close itself in a narrow, quickly dating formula of the present. The explanation of interrelations between political entities and their physical-geographical surrounding attempted at the time required constant references to the historical context. The contemporary political map was quickly becoming, if we can paraphrase Barbag, a strictly historical map. The practice of reaching into the past to interpret contemporary phenomena and political systems caused the historical context to become an immanent element of political geography. The discipline was becoming more and more bold in interpreting the political map and the territorial characteristics of political formation and development of states and regions, not only in the presence, but also in the future. This research field saw the formation – in reference to the bond between history and geography – of a unique relationship between historical geography and political geography. Significantly, by exposing the past, political geography sometimes lost view of the presence, i.e. the element that defined its existence and distinguished it from historical geography. Thus, we can say that M. Kulesza (2009) was right when he observed, as mentioned above, that the development of political geography after World War II and, especially in the 1990s, resulted in the “internal” expansion and the emergence of new research fields, which was caused by, among other things, taking some of them from historical geography.

The article includes an attempt to investigate the origins and selected aspects of the activity, location, range of impact and physiognomy of rural evangelical schools, established near Łódź in the 19th century. Geographical and historical analyzes covered the educational facilities founded in the villages associated with the Olęder settlement and German colonization in the period of Southern Prussia. In the first part, the authors examined the issue of the functioning of evangelical schools in the light of archival sources. It made it possible to find many new facts and regularities. In the second part of the article an analysis of the spatial impact of schools was carried out, basic location types were identified and the contemporary state of preservation of the studied objects was determined.

Wilhelm Friedrich (1882–1914) was the first to use the term “historical geography” and his work on medieval Bohemia, published in 1912, is still methodologically very inspiring. However, we know very little about the author himself; he is usually given as a professor at a Gymnasium, who died in the First World War; the following text provides some biographical detail about this almost forgotten figure.

Toponyms of the East African coast present a recorded illustration of the multicultural environment of the Indian Ocean in its western part. A number of historical locations have been identified on the basis of modern or archaeological evidence corresponding to place names found in the written sources ranging from Antiquity to the contemporary era. From the Horn of Africa to the Swahili coast to Mozambique, the East African coast has been marked by a certain geographical stability of urban centres and port locations. Some of the modern cities still carry the names first recorded in the 10th century C.E., while some medieval toponyms may be correlated to locations first listed in ancient Greek sources. The present paper will examine two examples from the extensive toponymical record for the East African coast. The major cultural traditions related to the place names and their recorded history in the written sources of the past centuries are generally known. Medieval Arabic sources provide the bulk of written information about the region in the pre-Portuguese era. The paper acknowledges some differences between the evidence of academic Islamic geography and the information provided by Arab travellers and navigators. The sources reveal a degree of stability in the inventory of the recorded place names despite the historical changes on the coast. Analysis reveals a complex picture of historical and language-based patterns of knowledge transmission in the trans-cultural oceanic environment.

The initian methodological part of the study deals with the environmental history as a new branch of science that is currently being developed arond the world. THe environmental history has stagnated in Slovakia, so the aim of this article is to contribute, at least partially, to the further development of this field of science. The second part of the paper present a case study, which on the basis of historical, archival and field research briefly focuses on the environmental history of the border river Ipeľ, forming the broder between Slovak Republic and Hungary since 1918. The river and its river basin had been transformaed by intensive human activities, which began in the 10th century.

Artykuł odnosi się do trudności w praktycznym zastosowaniu czasowo-przestrzennych baz danych w badaniach geograficzno-historycznych. Praktyka badawcza, oprócz bezsprzecznych zalet włączenia narzędzi bazodanowych do prac historycznych, przynosi także istotne trudności związane z niepewnością, niepełnością oraz brakiem precyzji informacji historycznych. Cechy te, a także subiektywizm (interpretacyjność) wnioskowania historycznego, powinny być uwzględniane w budowaniu historycznych systemów informacji geograficznej. Gromadzone w ten sposób informacje historyczne stają się łatwo dostępne do wtórnej interpretacji (schemat źródłowy). Schemat krytyczny bazy danych, konstruowany wspólnie przez historyków, ontologów inżynieryjnych oraz specjalistów od modelowania danych, powinien uwzględniać zarówno „wydarzeniowość”, jak i „procesowość” zjawisk historycznych, a także skomplikowaną charakterystykę obiektów czasowo-przestrzennych (spór między endurantystami i perdurantystami).

The present article deals with problems of the practical application of spatio-temporal databases in geo-historical studies. Research practice – besides the indisputable advantages of applying database tools for analysis of historical data – also includes the significant problems of uncertainty, incompleteness and lack of precision of historical sources. These features, as well as the subjectivism (interpretability) of should be taken into account while building historical geographical information systems. Existing solutions consider to only a small extent the properties of the research process appropriate to historical geography. One of the solutions suggested in the present article is a division of a database structure into two interrelated schemes: a source scheme and a critical scheme. Historical information thus gathered becomes easily accessible for secondary interpretation (the source scheme). The critical scheme of the database, which is collectively constructed by historians, engineering ontologists and specialists in database modelling, should consider both the event and the process character of historical phenomena as well as the complex characteristics of spatio-temporal objects (the dispute between endurantists and perdurantists).

The paper is aimed at regulated medieval settlements in Scandinavia (named mostly, although not always correctly solskifte). These systems comprehend green villages and row villages as well as regular chessboard-like field arrangements. In these systems each farmer had strips in each furlong. The location of his strip within the furlong was constant in relation to that of other farmers and was determined according to the sequence of houses in the village, counting with reference to the apparent course of the sun across the sky and beginning mostly in the south and east. Widths of the house plots were proportional to fiscal assessment of their farmsteads. For further description of those concepts see English references. Recent research in the Czech Republic revealed signs of applying similar planning principles. This is especially the case of the village of Nová Lhota, founded probably in the first half of the 16th century. Ordering of field strips mirror here the sequence of house plots in the village. Better understanding of genetic links between Scandinavian concepts of medieval landscape planning concepts and similar principles found in central Europe is thus the major task of future research.

Authors of the essay have attempted, based on ego-documents, to reveal the borderlines of the discrepancy between the expected standard of intensity and duration of the Austro-Prussian conflict and the subsequent reality. One of the 19th-century modernizing processes condensed in the short and intense clash in the summer of 1866 when in consequence of increased density of the traffic infrastructure and the introduction of new communication and infrastructure networks, the world seemed ‘smaller’ and ‘faster’. The essay brings an analysis of the period discourse that the authors understand not only as a frame within which memories and events were performed, but also as a product of mnemonic processes.

The historical geography of the Odebrecht Group demonstrates the passage of a brazilian family-owned company that has became a holding company that has been territorialized by more than three dozen countries, thanks to the operation of the businessman-entrepreneur Norberto Odebrecht. What has not been disseminated, whether in the media or in publications by the Organization, is the process of private appropriation of nature that has been conducted by Odebrecht in Bahia during the 20th century. The purpose of this paper is to present the temporal spatialization of the Odebrecht family in the Bahia Southern Lowlands, which reflects the way that Brazilian field (land and water) has been appropriated by transnational companies, mainly with strong State support. Therefore, has been proceeded data collection in researches and publications that demonstrate a series of onslaughts on Bahian rural space in the trajectory of Odebrecht family that has been investigated in light of the theoretical discussion about private appropriation of nature with use of violence in its various dimensions.

A geografia histórica da Organização Odebrecht demonstra as investidas conduzidas por uma empresa brasileira de origem familiar que se transformou numa holding territorializada por mais de três dezenas de países. O que não se difunde, seja na mídia ou nas publicações divulgadas pela Organização, é o processo de apropriação privada da natureza conduzido pela família Odebrecht na Bahia ao longo do século XX. O objetivo do texto é apresentar a espacialização temporal da família Odebrecht no Baixo Sul baiano, o que reflete a forma como o campo brasileiro vem sendo apropriado por empresas transacionais com o apoio das três instâncias do Estado. Para tanto, procedeu-se ao levantamento de pesquisas e de publicações que demonstram a trajetória de investidas da família Odebrecht no espaço rural baiano à luz da discussão teórica da apropriação privada da natureza com o uso da violência em suas várias dimensões. O resultado desse processo é que a Organização Odebrecht, além de intervir no campo brasileiro para acumular capital, criou projetos educacionais e de geração de trabalho e renda que funcionam como marketing gratuito para a corporação.

The paper deals with quantification of the contents of Fabricius’ map of Moravia originating from 1569 and at the same time analyses the so far unidentified objects depicted in the map. In spite of the long-term interest of researchers in the map, their analyses failed to result in satisfactory conclusions. Based on research of historic sources the author managed to verify or newly identify some locally significant elements in the map. Their inclusion in the map not only documented author’s own experience, but also referred to the historic memory of landscape which does not exist anymore.

The article concerns the presence of nature in pre-industrial towns. I address here the problems I encountered when recreating the urban layout of Dolsk, an averagesized town in Greater Poland belonging to the bishops of Poznan in the Old Polish period, at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. This problem concerned showing the socio-economic character of the city. The reproduction constitutes part of Greater Poland’s volume of the series of the Historical Atlas of Poland. The search for the presence of nature in cities was based on a query in written sources from the first half of the 17th century and on the basis of the oldest known and preserved city map from the end of the 18th century. The reference to natural elements in Dolsk is associated with the presence of home gardens, which constitute a kind of natural arrangement. Most often they appear when describing a real estate that was the subject of purchase/sale transactions between burghers of Dolsk or when loans were secured on a real estate. Gardens were located on plots, which constituted the basic unit of the ownership division of the urban space. However, they were not always mentioned in the descriptions of transactions. Most often they appeared at the houses that were built on plots limited from the back by the lakes surrounding Dolsk or passed into suburban areas. However, also in the case of plots that bordered with other plots from the back, one may find information about the presence of a garden on such a plot. The presence of gardens at the back of the plots in Dolsk was also registered on the oldest preserved city map of 1794–1796. Both this fact and the forwarding of elements of nature inside town walls on plans of perspective towns from the early modern period means that marking gardens on the reconstruction of the spatial arrangement seems necessary, especially in the case of towns of the size and character of Dolsk. This makes it necessary to reflect upon the methodology of creating historical maps of old towns. The simplest solution would be to create a generalized, simplified visualization of the urban space based on data taken from the oldest town plan, but not merely from a simple redrawing of the border between the residential-economic zone and the garden zone. However, not being able to mark these borders precisely on the basis of data from written sources from the 17th century, one should adopt a conventional method of marking these zones. However, this requires further reflection on the methodological concepts of modern cartography and their use to create historical maps showing the reconstruction of spatial systems of towns in the pre-industrial period. It seems that further work on a similar way of marking the space of urban plots in average-size and small towns will allow to develop a model of cartographic presentation that will better reflect the character of the space of towns such as Dolsk.

Old maps are one of the most important sources of historical geography, helping researchers to find their bearings in the space in which our ancestors lived. It does result, however, in many more problems for research – map design, toponomy of designated areas, the method of creating maps, investigating their purpose and interpreting historical landscapes. This paper aims to undertake a reconstruction of mediaeval settlements in the eastern Ore Mountains using one of the oldest maps, and identify the author’s perception of space and his historical links.

The paper aims to show differentiation of the socio-economic statut of sixty selected housing estates in Czechia on the example of the educational level of the population. We focus both on the differentiation of the housing estates and on the comparison of their position within the Czech cities. Our analyses show that even if the position of most housing estates as compared with other urban neigbourhoods has deteriorated in last decades, they still represent a very heterogeneous set of neighbourhoods in Czechia.
