| Summary: | Based on the vectorization of the 55-volume book series <i>the Quarry
Inventories of the Czechoslovak Republic/Czechoslovak Socialist Republic</i>,
published in the years 1932–1961, a new comprehensive database was built
comprising 9958 surface mining sites of raw materials, which were active in
the first half of the 20th century. The mapped area covers 40.9 % of the
territory of the Czech Republic. For the purposes of visualization, a map
application, the Quarry Inventories Online, was created that enables the data
visualization. |
