Settlement Patterns in Drahany Uplands (Czech Republic): GIS and Quantitative Methods Based Approach
Original language description
Previous extensive field survey in the Drahany Uplands documented over 60 deserted medieval villages together with their fields. The (almost) complete medieval settlement network is used for further analysis based on GIS and quantitative methods. This research primarily aims to understand the reasons behind the abandonment of villages. Firstly, the regularities in the lay-out of villages and their fields are obtained. The probable motivations behind the choice of space for settlement areas are then briefly discussed. Some of spatial characteristics of the deserted fields are used in the reconstruction of the most intensely settled landscape at the beginning of the 14th century. Finally, some factors that contributed to village abandonment are mentioned.
