Description | The industrial heritage is represented by objects and traces in any landscape left by the industry and accompanying human activities in the previous period which is not serving the present industry and inhabitants by the same as it was before. Territorial concentrations of objects of such heritage form post-industrial landscapes (PILs).The papers deal with the procedures of PILs identification on national level, classification of PILs and their introductory assessment for PIL future management. Publically accessible data sources on man-made land forms, land use, brownfields, undermined sites, contaminated sites, industrial architectural heritage, etc. were applied in the processing using GIS technology. The outline, area, content and topic description are essential for the decision making about PIL future fate. The genetic classes of PILs were assessed from the viewpoint of their possible impact on human lives and activities. Preliminary management proposals were recommended. |
