Synthetic Map of the Types of Rural Settlements 121 UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA ~ SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES UNIVERSITE D'OTTAWA ~ ECOLE DES GRADUES INTRODUCTION As a fixed and localized unit, a settlement is primarily a geo­ graphical phenomenon. Consequently, types of settlements have an enor­ mous importance in the general evaluation of a cultural region. Towns, villages, hamlets, or isolated farmsteads, all leave a special imprint on any landscape. Cultivated fields of a settled countryside are marks of systematic human activity reflecting the number, proximity and per­ manence of human establishments. The latter can be divided into two main categories - urban and rural settlements. This study is concerned with the distribution of the types of rural settlements which characterize extensive areas of the cultural regions in Bohemia and Moravia-Silesia, and the neighbouring countries. Existing Literature concerning the development of settlement types and their distribution in the Czech lands is not extensive. Neither were all sources available for this study. Therefore, the research was conducted on the basis of a detailed, settlement by settlement analysis of the maps covering the territory. In order to obtain a better understanding of the development of rural settlements, a brief review of physical characteristics and histori cal events in Bohemian lands is presented. Special attention is given to the complex ethnic history of the area and to the changes in the natural vegetation cover in Bohemia and Moravia-Silesia, on which the human activity and particularly that of the grazer and agriculturalist made its early impression. The text is illustrated by several maps attached to the study. UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA ~ SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES UNIVERSITE D'OTTAWA ~ ECOLE DES GRADUES INTRODUCTION x A detailed analysis follows of the types of rural settlements on the territory of Czech lands and adjacent areas of the neighbouring terri- tories. The ground plan of the villages, the system of field division and the processes of history are considered. Seventeen various types of rural settlements are distinguished and their regional distribution dis­ cussed. Further, the different maps of rural settlements in Europe and Czechoslovakia are critically reviewed. Methods and materials used for the map of rural settlement types in Bohemia and Moravia-Silesia are described (Map 1). Comparison of the distribution of rural settle­ ments with the existing maps of the neighbouring territories is included. Finally, this study discusses the relationship between physio­ graphic and human factors and their joint influence on the evolution of rural settlements. It also outlines the changes which affected the types of villages during the urbanization, industrialization and land reforms in Bohemia and Moravia-Silesia.

  • Report on the State of Water Management in the Czech Republic in 2007“, Briefly Entitled As the „Blue Report“
    By December 2007 Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic Draft introduction Dear readers, you have in your hands the eleventh edition of the „Report on the State of Water Management in the Czech Republic in 2007“, briefly entitled as the „Blue Report“. This publication is a summary informational material which brings a complex information on the state of our waters and information on all water-management services which take care of water sources and their use by in- habitants and national economy. The flood situations in previous ten years made the public concentrate on flood-protection measures and recti- fication of flood damage, which is the reason you get a detailed information on projects and financial resources in this field. In 2007 next stages of programmes aimed at intensification of flood-protection measures in competence of Ministry of Agriculture started. Between the years 2007 – 2012 they will enable the implementation of events on watercourses, reservoirs, fishponds and in landscape in the amount of app. CZK 15 billion. Thanks to the support within the programmes of Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of the Environment there has also been a significant progress in the construction of sewerage systems and waste water treatment plants. As a result of this there has been a rise in the proportion of inhabitants connected to these systems, which exceeded 80 %. Over 95 % of the amount of discharged waste water is treated, which of course helps to improve the quality of water in our watercourses, as illustrated in the maps of cleaniness of water in comparison with the years 1990 – 2007.

  • The Czech Position on US Missile Defense – Between Strategy and Public Political Debate
    Unwilling to Succeed: The Czech Position on US Missile Defense – Between Strategy and Public Political Debate Irena Kalhousová Background After the fall of Communism in 1989, one of the main goals of Czechoslovak, and later Czech, foreign policy, was to become a member of Western security, economic, and political structures. It was not long after the Velvet Revolution that the Czechs rejected “neutrality” and began to strive for NATO membership. This pro-Atlantic position was not only a strategic choice, but also a natural reaction to forty years of living under the Soviet VSKHUHRILQÀXHQFH,QOLJKWRIWKLVKLVWRULFDOH[SHULHQFHLWZDVKRSHGWKDWWKH United States, rather than West European countries, would provide security guarantees not only to the Czech Republic, but to the whole Central and Eastern Europe region. This aspiration culminated in 1999 when the Czech Republic, together with Hungary and Poland, joined NATO. In 2006, the US announced a plan to deploy ballistic missile defense interceptors in Europe as part of the George W. Bush administration’s policy for advancing missile defense. In 2007, the Czech Republic and Poland were invited to participate in this plan by deploying US military infrastructure on their territory; ten interceptors would be deployed in Poland and a missile tracking radar in the Czech Republic. The interceptors were to be two-stage versions of the three-stage GBIs, and the radar an X-band radar. The European site of the ballistic missile defense would be part of a system that was intended to defend both the US and parts of Europe from potential future Iranian long-range ballistic missiles. The participation of the Czech Republic in the US Missile Defense System (MDS) was seen by the proponents of the project as an opportunity 64 I Irena Kalhousová to send a clear signal that the Czech Republic was now fully integrated into the Western political sphere.

  • The Glaciofluvial Terrace in the Moravian Gate (Czech Republic)
    Journal of Anthropozoic Pages 8 – – Czech Geological Survey ISBN 978-80-7075-761–1 Geological Sciences 27 51–61 figures table plate Prague 2011 ISSN 0036-5270 The glaciofluvial terrace in the Moravian Gate (Czech republic) Glacifluviální terasa v Moravské bráně Jaroslav Tyráček † TyráČek, J. (2011): The glaciofluvial terrace in the Moravian Gate (Czech Republic). – Sbor. geol. Věd, Antropozoikum, 27, 51–61. Praha. Key words: northern Moravia, Pliocene, Pleistocene, continental glaciation Abstract: The sediments exotic to local geological setting that occur close to the European water-divide in the Moravian Gate have been primarily interpreted as glacial since the end of the 19th century. Because the Scandinavian ice sheet advanced twice into the Moravian Gate, the age of its maximum extent, level and direction of the meltwater drainage were the most important topics. The term glaciofluvial terrace, introduced into the literature by Hassinger (1914) is intimately linked with the maximum glaciation, which is here dated to the Elsterian Stage glacial. In fact, however, the Elsterian glacier halted far from the divide and no traces of its having crossed this barrier have been identified. Nor has the drainage via the Moravian Gate during the Elsterian times been confirmed. Two gravel occurrences at Nad dolama and Horecko about 70–80 m above the Bečva River have been proposed as the representatives of the glaciofluvial terrace. They are composed of local lithologies derived from the Nízký Jeseník upland. No exotic rocks have been identified in these sediments not even those from the flysch conglomerates, which occur in the upper Carpathian part of the Bečva River course.

  • Cold-Climate Landform Patterns in the Sudetes. Effects of Lithology, Relief and Glacial History
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE 2000 GEOGRAPHICA, XXXV, SUPPLEMENTUM, PAG. 185–210 Cold-climate landform patterns in the Sudetes. Effects of lithology, relief and glacial history ANDRZEJ TRACZYK, PIOTR MIGOŃ University of Wrocław, Department of Geography, Wrocław, Poland ABSTRACT The Sudetes have the whole range of landforms and deposits, traditionally described as periglacial. These include blockfields and blockslopes, frost-riven cliffs, tors and cryoplanation terraces, solifluction mantles, rock glaciers, talus slopes and patterned ground and loess covers. This paper examines the influence, which lithology and structure, inherited relief and time may have had on their development. It appears that different rock types support different associations of cold climate landforms. Rock glaciers, blockfields and blockstreams develop on massive, well-jointed rocks. Cryogenic terraces, rock steps, patterned ground and heterogenic solifluction mantles are typical for most metamorphic rocks. No distinctive landforms occur on rocks breaking down through microgelivation. The variety of slope form is largely inherited from pre- Pleistocene times and includes convex-concave, stepped, pediment-like, gravitational rectilinear and concave free face-talus slopes. In spite of ubiquitous solifluction and permafrost creep no uniform characteristic ‘periglacial’ slope profile has been created. Mid-Pleistocene trimline has been identified on nunataks in the formerly glaciated part of the Sudetes and in their foreland. Hence it is proposed that rock-cut periglacial relief of the Sudetes is the cumulative effect of many successive cold periods during the Pleistocene and the last glacial period alone was of relatively minor importance. By contrast, slope cover deposits are usually of the Last Glacial age. Key words: cold-climate landforms, the Sudetes 1.

Also, the article tries to throw a little more light on this notion, through a multidisciplinary view on the part of the population that has been named Vlachs in the past or present. The goal is to create an image of what they really are, and what they have never been, through a specific chronological historical overview of data related to the Vlachs. Thus, it allows the reader to understand, through the facts presented here, the misconceptions that are related to this term in the historiographic literature. Key words: Vlachs, Morlachs, Serbs, Slavs, Wallachia, Moldavia, Romanian Orthodox Church The terms »Vlach«1, or later, »Morlach«2, does not represent the nationality, that is, they have never represented it throughout the history, because both of this terms exclusively refer to the members of Serbian nation, in the Serbian ethnic area. –––––––––––– [email protected] 1 Serbian (Cyrillic script): влах. »Now in answer to all these frivolous assertions, it is sufficient to observe, that our Morlacchi are called Vlassi, that is, noble or potent, for the same reason that the body of the nation is called Slavi, which means glorious; that the word Vlah has nothing

Tomczyk 1 and Dominika Jasik 2 1 Department of Climatology, Adam Mickiewicz University, 61-680 Pozna´n,Poland 2 Department of Hydrology and Water Management, Adam Mickiewicz University, 61-680 Pozna´n,Poland * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-61-829-6267 Received: 24 May 2019; Accepted: 12 July 2019; Published: 13 July 2019 Abstract: Atmospheric processes leading to extreme floods in the Polish Sudeten Mountains were described in this study. A direct impact of heavy precipitation on extremely high runoff episodes was confirmed, and an essential role of synoptic conditions in triggering abundant rainfall was proved. Synoptic conditions preceding each flood event were taken into consideration and the evolution of the pressure field as well as the moisture transport was investigated using the anomaly-based method. Maps of anomalies, constructed for the days prior to floods, enabled recognizing an early formation of negative centers of sea level pressure and also allowed distinguishing areas of positive departures of precipitable water content over Europe. Five cyclonic circulation patterns of different origin, and various extent and intensity, responsible for heavy, flood-triggering precipitation in the Sudetes, were assigned. Most rain-bringing cyclones form over the Mediterranean Sea and some of them over the Atlantic Ocean. A meridional southern transport of moisture was identified in most of the analyzed cases of floods. Recognizing the specific meteorological mechanisms of precipitation enhancement, involving evolution of pressure patterns, change in atmospheric moisture and occurrence of precipitation may contribute to a better understanding of the atmospheric forcing of floods in mountain areas and to improve predicting thereof.
