| Abstract: |
What is so specific about these atlases? Above all, they
summarize land use and cover changes papers from different
countries, studied with various methods. Thus, the atlases
enable international contacts and publicity of research results as well as they show new and original methods and approaches in land use research. They also provide an essential possibility of publication in larger format; papers usually cannot be printed in such an extent in scientific journals. The atlases offer an equal extent of text and graphics, and there is also a possibility to
publish full-colour maps and figures. Coloured maps facilitate better perception of various analysed land-use categories, their development and other features.
Volume VII includes eleven papers altogether (ten from
Czechia and one from Slovakia); however, the first seven papers make a whole with general introduction plus six case studies from Czechia. |
