Abstract Floodplains include unique environments shaped over a long time horizon along rivers and smaller streams formed by alluvial sediments. As floodplains are flat, often with highly fertile well‐accessible land, they have become the intrinsic focus of human society—while providing variety goods ecosystem services. Intensive land use is degrading their natural values significantly reducing functions A significant part these key services related ability to retain water nutrients, which...
Abstract Historical documentary sources from two regions with contrasting historical and social development were examined for information about landslide occurrence characteristics. The archive search was complemented limited field work to acquire the degree of recent activity land use. results study areas (Ústí nad Labem in North Bohemia Zlín East Moravia) show considerable differences types source, their availability they record. It is concluded that local newspapers include special...

Various flood risk mitigation measures such as green, hybrid and grey can be applied to reduce risk, which is expected increase in the future due climate change. While recent studies on perception have provided robust empirical evidence of social regional differences perception, comparative management are lacking. Across Europe, there significant preferred approaches identified barriers their application. As part this study, we examined various Slovenia, Czechia Netherlands. The following...
Abstract Flood risk management (FRM) aims to integrate necessary technical measures with environmental and societal approaches. Focusing on the process governance of how plan, implement, maintain solutions therefore becomes essential. Among different stakeholders, landowners are a key group be considered. This contribution elaborates interconnections between land policy, FRM private ownership. It is based European COST Action network LAND4FLOOD, which brings together academics stakeholders...
Abstract. National and regional historical landslide databases are increasingly viewed as providing empirical evidence for the geomorphic effects of ongoing environmental change supporting adaptive territorial planning. In this work, we present design current content Czech Historical Landslide Database (CHILDA), first its kind territory Czechia (the Republic). We outline CHILDA system, functionality, technical solution. The database was established by merging extending fragmented datasets...
Abstract Damming and water impoundment have fundamental influences on the geomorphology ecological processes of lotic systems. Although these engineering projects affect all segments river channel, fluvial (mid‐channel, river) islands are among most threatened features because their link to both hydrostatic hydrodynamic effects damming. In this study, we used historical maps (1843, 1852) aerial photos (1954, 2014), as well other written iconographic documentary sources, document long‐term...

Participatory responses to natural disasters are currently considered be the primary tool for disaster risk reduction. However, implementation of this in post‐communist Central E uropean countries is constrained by strong position central government and a weakened civil society as heritage former communist governments. This study analyses documentary sources reconstruct social five disastrous flash flood events (1897, 1907, 1925, 1926 1927) northern B ohemia, C zech R epublic. The...
Abstract Quarrying represents a major human impact on the landscape. The positive effects of quarrying have also been appreciated over last several decades and concern role quarries as sites with potential for geoscientific education geotourism. In this paper we present procedure establishing multitemporal database abandoned their multicriterial assessment in order to determine suitable geotourism purposes. case České středohoří Protected Landscape Area Northern Czechia is used, an example...
The multilevel adaptive governance of flood risk reduction has been emphasised in the last decades and supported by requirements European Flood Directive (EC, 2007), while assigning an increasingly important role to municipalities. By contrast, only fragmented efforts have addressed personal (expert knowledge), financial, institutional limits municipalities achieve management (FRM) goals. Starting with thorough literature review, we emphasise key gaps current understanding municipal FRM note...
Flood recovery is an important period in the flood risk management cycle. Recently, has become viewed as opportunity for future damage mitigation. Financial flows to cover damages and rules regarding their allocation are crucial supporting or undermining mitigation efforts. In this paper, we map compare state funding so-called Visegrad Group Countries (V4), i.e. Czechia, Hungary, Poland Slovakia, over past 30 years of democratic history. We apply a qualitative comparative approach identify...
Abstract The recent paradigm shift towards multilevel flood risk governance has raised discussions about the potential of different entities to undertake specific management (FRM) measures and effects their efforts on other levels. Among key questions being addressed are those related balance possible inverse proportions between governmental motivation for individual action. In this paper, we use results a perception survey among individuals in two flood‐prone Czech municipalities reveal...
