| Description | The industrial revolution in the middle of 19th century brought economic and social changes that were reflected in the landscape design. Its utilization of the landscape has changed at the end of 20th century as the result of political and economical changes. The industrial landscape turned to the post-industrial when many plants and factories were closed and left. Radon measurement, aqua testing methods and Czech hydrometeorological Institutes data available for the Czech Republic territory can be used for describing the post-industrial landscape environmental burden. For its recent mining and industrial history, the Oslavany region was chosen as the model area for presenting environmental problems. The article deals with description of radon background, development of dust and aqua testing of soil extracts in the Oslavany region and considers perception of queried inhabitans. |
