Abstract: Historic or traditional cultural landscapes can be identified in areas where land cover and land use changes are less intensive. They are characterised by low-intensity land management, a high degree of multifunctionality and species and habitat diversity. They are site-specific, and research on them is often based on case studies. Our research aims to propose methods for identifying different historic cultural landscapes on the basis of characteristic landscape elements via freely accessible Europe-wide (CORINE Land Cover) or nationwide (ZABAGED, Geonames) data. The method of historic cultural landscape identification is demonstrated in the Kutná Hora Region of central Bohemia, where eight different types of historic cultural landscapes were identified. Our approach can make the process of identification easier and faster and can provide basic knowledge about the presence and location of landscape types.
