As one of the largest cities in Slovakia, Bratislava needs to proceed with the greenery concept with regard to mechanisms for adapting to climate change. The potential of developing new areas can be seen in public, semi-public, and private spaces. In this sense, the aim of our research was to map the current situation of urban greenery in the city,...

This article demonstrates the application of the methods unravelling microtopographic features, specifically, sunken linear landforms indicating remains of historical trackways in forests. These are related to the ‘Magna Via’ route in the vicinity of the Deserted Castle and the Peťuša Castle in Central Slovakia. The microtopography validation datas...

Changes of the antenna models on permanent global navigation satellite system (GNSS) stations can lead to jumps and discontinuities in the coordinate time series. In this paper, the results of research on the adequacy of the antenna phase centre corrections (PCC) variations are presented by analysing its component—the antennas’ phase centre offset...

Fotografie nemajú ilustračný význam, ale sú dôkazovým materiálom stavu krajiny a nástrojom pre monitorovanie zmien. Charakteristický vzhľad krajiny svojim obsahom (štruktúra krajinnej pokrývky a textúry) vytvárajú chránené územia svetového, európskeho a národného významu, ktorých výskyt v predmetnom širšom území korešponduje s prevažujúcim krajinný...

Today, farmers are multioptional entrepreneurs, demanding far more skills than only those of agricultural production. The awareness of European agricultural landscape (EAL) values should enable farmers to create new business strategies. Open education repositories (OERs) based on online vocational education and training (VET) are still not widespre...

Special types of rural settlements in Slovakia, so-called dispersed settlements, are typical of several regions in the country. They are recognized as specific elements in a landscape and have a strong effect on local identity. They are a part of a historical landscape structure, constituting a unique natural and cultural heritage. For this reason,...

Water meadows or flooded meadows are known from many European countries. A historical irrigation system—catchworks—was identified in only one locality in Slovakia. This article brings a methodical approach to the identification of catchworks on mountain slopes. The main aim was to delineate catchworks using terrain and land use geospatial data inte...

En Eslovaquia, el cultivo del viñedo se remonta a la época romana. Los entornos naturales limitan la distribución de los viñedos en zonas con orientación sur, principalmente en las tierras bajas y las estribaciones de los Cárpatos. Basándonos en un análisis DAFO, seleccionamos tres zonas de estudio en los que se evaluó la urbanización, restauración...

The knowledge of tree characteristics, especially the shape of standing trees, is important for living tree volume estimation, the computation of a wide range of forest stand features, and the evaluation of stand stability. Nowadays, nondestructive and accurate approaches to data collection in the forest environment are required. Therefore, the imp...

In Europe, a broad variety of agricultural landscape types have originated as a result of traditional farming activities and landscape diversity maintenance over centuries. The rapid development of socio-economic activities during the twentieth century caused significant loss of traditional rural landscapes. Traditional/historical European agricult...

From the Middle Ages until the twentieth century, water meadows in Europe were primarily irrigated to improve their productivity and to lengthen the growing season. They were water management systems designed to collect and use water and to discharge it: water had to be kept moving. This chapter presents a general overview and a history of research...

Historical structures of the agricultural landscapes (HSAL) result from interactions among natural and human factors within a geographic area. The paper is focused on HSAL consisting of arable land and grassland with the typical occurrence of terraces. This type was found in 23 localities, covering 23.85% of the agricultural land in the cadastral d...

An active gully-related landslide system is located in a deep valley under forest canopy cover. Generally, point clouds from forested areas have a lack of data connectivity, and optical parameters of scanning cameras lead to different densities of point clouds. Data noise or systematic errors (missing data) make the automatic identification of land...

Landscape retains tangible or symbolic traces of local, regional, national and European history. The highlighting of this history through landscape protection, management and planning contributes to Europeans' fulfilment and to the consolidation of the Council of Europe's funding principles (CoE, 2000). Rising awareness of the worth and cultural va...

Agricultural production depends on many natural conditions, and the direct sale of agricultural products from farms is not easy. Therefore, farmers should be considered as multi-optional entrepreneurs with a corresponding education. The FEAL project no. 2016-1-SK01-KA202-022502 offers an open access online training system based on case studies, e-a...

Hodnota polnohospodárskej krajiny katastrálneho územia Horného Tisovníka nespocíva v úrodnej pôde, ale v rozsiahlom systéme polnohospodárskych terás pretrvávajúcich v území najmenej 250-300 rokov.

- Adequate, costless and time-saving techniques - image-based identification, mapping and measurement of small-scale landforms. - The compatibility of systems & data interoperability is important and a high degree of automations is expected when civic technologies are applied in land survey.

Abstract Slope failures are financially devastating natural hazards that contribute to land degradation in many areas throughout the world. The adaptation of civic technologies (Google Tango) in a field survey of landslides was examined. Data acquired from different resources and processed using different technologies were merged into a single mode...

In Slovakia European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is a rare fructiferous tree species.
