Development of the Jewish Settlement of Olomouc: Geographic and Socioeconomic Structure of the Jewish Population in the Peroid of 1180–2021

Original language description

This paper demonstrates how GIS-based maps and spatial analyses can effectively present complex research findings in Jewish Studies, particularly Jewish history. Using the map Development of the Jewish Settlement of Olomouc: Geographic and Socioeconomic Structure of the Jewish Population in the Period of 1180–2021, based on archival data and visualized through GIS, we show how spatial interpretation of historical data enhances understanding and accessibility. Such approaches offer a powerful means of integrating Jewish history into broader national narratives, contributing to the ongoing revision of Czech national history and supporting primary research, education, and public engagement. The article represents a significant contribution to interdisciplinary research on Jewish history in Central Europe. Its excellence lies in the innovative integration of the humanities—particularly Jewish studies and historical demography—with advanced methods of spatial visualization (GIS). It presents the results of long-term archival research on the development of Jewish settlement in Olomouc between 1180 and 2021, interpreting these findings through geoinformatic tools and visualizations. In doing so, it contributes not only to a deeper understanding of the spatial dimensions of the integration of the Jewish community into majority society, but also demonstrates how historical data can be communicated to broader audiences, including non-academic publics, in an accessible and visually engaging form. This approach has the potential to substantially influence the ways in which Jewish history—and minority histories more broadly—are integrated into the wider framework of national historiography. Particular emphasis is placed on challenging traditionally homogeneous conceptions of Czech history and promoting a more inclusive understanding of the past.
