Metodické možnosti posuzování vizuálního impaktu v procese EIA

The aim of the thesis is to propose a methodical approach that would include aspects of visual landscape assessment, emphasis on historical and perceptual values of the area and was applicable in the EIA process. The aim is the applicability of the proposed methodology in the assessment of new projects by the management of heritage care, especially in the process of environmental impact assessment (where the management of heritage care is concerned by the state administration body concerned), but also in other proceedings. The procedure should not replace subjective assessment or landscape survey, but create objective evidence for the decision and serve to negotiate between the investor and the state administration bodies concerned. The procedure should use geographic information systems, including current data bases and functionalities

<b>Raw Datasets for </b><b>Spatially Explicit Model for Assessing the Impacts of Groundwater Protection Measures in the Vicinity of the Hranice Abyss</b>

The daset presents data from the paper, that presents a spatially explicit model for quantification of the impacts of groundwater protection measures in a specific karst territory. The impacts were studied with regards to Storm Water Retention improvement and Land Surface Temperature cooling. The method for the evaluation is a combination of assessment of vulnerable areas using multicriteria analysis, hydrological modelling and Random Forest prediction model that downscales temperature data on 1x1 m surface. The model uses remote sensing with high resolution, namely LiDAR (50pt/m) point clouds, modelling of retention characteristics, quantification of vegetation and LANDSAT 8 satellite images to determine surface temperature. Land-use / Land cover (LULC) serves as a predictor for the model. Evaluation of changes is based on developing three hypothetical scenarios assuming LULC change upon which the effect of the change is verified in three parameters: protection of ground waters and mineral waters, capacity of retaining stormwater, and capacity of mitigating heat waves. The main finding is that the measures that aim primarily at groundwater protection affect also other parameters – surface temperature and retention capacity, while improving each of these parameters. In case of the retention capacity, it is by up to 32 % and in case of temperature it is a maximum of 8 %. As per the surface temperature, a significant variability has been found depending on the presence of field crops, and the model explains it. The model allows for prioritization of changes on the level of spatial units – in our case microbasins, thus allowing also for more precise targeting of the measures.</p

Methodology of Cultural Landscape Interpretation

The methodology contains basic information on terminology, identifies the interpretation procedures and documents the whole process by means of a case study. The specificity of the work is the focus on cultural landscape in a holistic concept, with an emphasis on the design and implementation part

Methodology of Monitoring of the Landscape Conservation Zones

Cultural landscape presents with its diversity and uniqueness a significant part of the natural and cultural heritage of human society. They are the Landscape Conservation Zones (LCZ) are currently the only legal category, through which the state heritage preservation may enter the field of protection of unique historical cultural landscape. Basic problem of the current management of the Landscape Conservation Zones is an absence of systematically designed, structured and standardized system of area conservation, management and planning including aspects of identification and evidence of the landscape values and methods of landscape quality monitoring. The guidance presents main principles of the suitable monitoring indicators and way of the landscape heritage assessment in the Czech Republic. There is the special emphasis is put on indicators describing changes of the land use pattern, landscape visibility and effectiveness of the planning tools

The Methodology of Concept of Landscape Layout for Protection and Regeneration of Cultural, Historical and Natural Values

The methodology is focused on the formulation of requirements of Ministry of Culture, integral part while creating one of the three basic concepts of the current zoning plan: urban design, landscape layout and concept of technical infrastructure. The concept of landscape layout is based on solving conflicts and problems in the area, which arose due to discrepancies between primary, secondary and tertiary structure of the landscape. The methodology is aimed to find tools for the restoration of cultural, historical and natural landscape values

Methodics of identification of designed landscape

The methodology of identification composed landscapes presents procedures, which are used to identify traces and signs of intentional creation of space according landscape architectural principles in today's cultural landscape . Landscape composition is still often involved in the organization of space, its identity and characteristics of the landscape, but ignorance of their composition and integrity leads to the disruption and damage caused by rough spatial development

Table1_Occurrence and path pollution of emerging organic contaminants in mineral water of Hranice hypogenic Karst.XLSX

The Hranice hypogenic karst region includes urban, spa and agricultural areas and industry complexes that affect water quality in the region. Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), especially pesticides and pharmaceuticals, are released into the complex aquatic system. These substances and their metabolites can affect aquatic and human life, as well as the regional development of the wider area traditionally associated with the spa. In this study, we conducted preliminary screening for pesticides and pharmaceuticals at 33 sampling sites and across different location types, including surface water, drainage water, a shallow well, groundwater and thermal karst water. Sampling occurred between February 2022 and June 2023. The results generally confirm that current land use is causing pollution in the karst system. The monitored substances were present in all water types, and in most cases the concentrations of pesticides were lower than those of their metabolites. Chloridazon desphenyl (DESPH) is the most widespread pesticide in surface, ground and hypogenic waters. Its concentrations in surface waters were 5.7 ng·L−1–2,230 ng·L−1, in groundwaters were 11.3 ng·L−1–1,490 ng·L−1 and in karst hypogenic waters 5.4 ng·L−1–378 ng·L−1. Diclofenac was the most widespread substance from the pharmaceutical group. Its concentrations ranged from 5.6 ng·L−1–549 ng·L−1 in surface waters, 8.4 ng·L−1–112 ng·L−1 in groundwaters and 5.1 ng·L−1–47.4 ng·L−1 in karst hypogenic waters. Directly in the karst hypogenic waters, the following EOCs were repeatedly detected: atrazine and its metabolites, simazin, metazachlor ethane sulfonic acid (ESA), metolachlor ESA, alachlor ESA, chloridazon DESPH, diclofenac, ibuprofen, azithromycin, bisphenol A and diethyltoluamide (DEET). The initial research hypothesis is that hydrothermal karst waters are of sub-recent age and deep circulation and, unlike surface and groundwaters, are not contaminated by recent pollutants. A certain component of these waters is therefore a shallow and shorter circulation.</p
