Abstract
This article deals with the creation of maps that depict the development of selected villages in Czechia in the 19th and 20th centuries. These maps are used for the artistic and historical research of rural architecture, which focuses on the type and detail of the surveyed buildings in the selected time period. Its results can be interpreted in a wider cultural context of the respective rural region. The maps of the development of rural architecture were created on the basis of a detailed analysis of available archival maps. The article describes the practical experience with the creation of these maps, contains an overview and description of available archive maps and the procedure of their processing using geographic information system (GIS) tools. The interactive presentation of the created maps on the Internet is also discussed.
Highlights
The beginning of the 21st century is associated with a rapid development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which have gradually affected most areas of human activity, including cultural heritage
The georeferencing operation is performed by a geometric transformation determined on the basis of identical points, i.e. points that are simultaneously drawn on both maps – a georeferenced map and a reference map (Cajthaml 2012)
Considerable attention is paid to available archival datasets
Summary
The beginning of the 21st century is associated with a rapid development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which have gradually affected most areas of human activity, including cultural heritage. In the field of monitoring the development of rural architecture, it is primarily the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In Bohemia and Moravia, the rural architecture has been influenced by intense political, economic and social changes taking place since the second half of the 19th century. They involved the abolition of drudgery (1848), the establishment of the cadastre unit institute and building legislation, i.e. specification of construction management, fire regulations, and the arrival of qualified architects, etc. The appearance of rural architecture has been changing rapidly since the end of the 20th century
