Abstract
In Lithuania, the old archival topographic maps of locations of small and medium scale and 1 : 10,000 scale contour photo plans were created on the basis of aerial images. The material of these scales provides documented records on the condition of the objects in the location and the landscape at the moment of aerial photography. Those maps can be used to restore the accurate topographic image of the terrain and buildings in 1945–1951 and in later years and perform the necessary topographic, photogrammetric, and geodetic measurements of the parameters of objects, to identify the location of objects and changes. This information is necessary for a variety of disputed property issues and for building farmhouses in reserves, in areas of forestry land parcels, and for assessment of changes in the landscape. Studies of landscape changes are needed for the assessment of renaturalization processes. This paper presents the geodetic method used for geomorphological changes at the channel of River Žalesa during the period 1942–2017, based on the collected archival cartographic materials: historical topographic maps from archive of the Lithuanian State Company Land Fund, Land Information System, and land management projects and orthophoto maps from Lithuanian spatial information portal and free open‐access Sentinel‐1 satellite data from the Copernicus Open Access Hub.
Highlights
The impact of anthropogenic environment is important, and the landscape is going through major changes that may become irreversible over time [1, 2]
It is possible to establish changes influenced by anthropogenic factors, including the urbanization processes of the areas [1, 14, 15], and changes in the channels of rivers and streams as a result of land reclamation. is method can be applied to the monitoring of naturally ongoing renaturalization processes, the monitoring of changes of river channel, and planning river restoration processes [16]
Anthropogenic activities and renaturalization processes affect the location of river channel; human activities may affect changes in river channel more than natural causes such as drought, landslides, and floods [17,18,19]
