Landscape structural changes between 1950 and 2012 and their role in wildlife–vehicle collisions in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Roadway safety is a major concern for the general public and understanding factors that affect wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) which is an important area in road ecology research. Even though many studies on landscape change have been conducted worldwide in the last 20 years, as well as present work focused on the effects of selected landscape structural characteristics on WVCs, an effort to examine the effects of historical changes in landscape structure on WVCs is missing. The main goal of this study is to analyse the role of the spatio-temporal changes in landscape structure between 1950 and 2012 for WVCs in the Czech Republic. Aerial photos from 1950 and 2012 were used to analyse changes in landscape structure based on the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS). The analyses were conducted in 52 hotspots (areas with the highest density of WVCs per square kilometre in the Czech Republic). The results showed that each hotspot has had a relatively high reconfiguration of the landscape struc
