| Abstract: | The objective of this contribution is analyzing, visualizing, interpreting and discussing the impacts of anthropogenic influences
on karst geomorphology through various geomorphologically based environmental indicators. The primary data sources are digital
terrain models (DTMs) as continuous surface data, supported by aerial photographs, satellite images, topographic maps and
databases of natural and anthropogenic features. The sources are supplemented by written information about surface changes
and in situ inspections. Spatial analyses as quantitative methods in combination with enhanced visualizations as qualitative
methods performed in a geographical information system (GIS) on different data sets are introduced as an important methodology.
This enables explaining many anthropogenic influences on the terrain surface (landform), which were not perceived before by
classical surveying techniques and verifications. |
