| Summary: | <p>National and regional historical landslide databases are
increasingly viewed as providing empirical evidence for the geomorphic
effects of ongoing environmental change and for supporting adaptive
territorial planning. In this work, we present the design and current
content of the Czech Historical Landslide Database (CHILDA), the first of
its kind for the territory of Czechia (the Czech Republic). We outline the
CHILDA system, its functionality, and technical solution. The database was
established by merging and extending the fragmented regional datasets for
highly landslide-prone areas in Czechia. Currently, the database includes
699 records (619 landslides, 75 rockfalls, and 5 other movement types)
encompassing the period from the oldest determined records (1132) up to 1989, which represents an important cultural, political, and socioeconomic divide.</p> |
