THE SOIL SEALING OF AGRICULTURAL LAND BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTRAVILAN IN THE CADASTRAL AREA OF MODRICE

The article focuses on the issue of agricultural soil sealing in the Modfice cadastre (South Moravian Region). Available data and map resources were used for this study (historical and up-to-date). Data Was processed using manual digitalisation in GIS software. The reduction in agricultural land is analysed in individual periods starting with the year 1824 (source of data of Stable cadastre) until present. It is also evaluated the soil sealing of individual types of land and soil types (including the price of land) according to Evaluated Soil-Ecological Units (EPEU). The soil sealing of agricultural land is connected with the development of the municipality. For the comparison of the future development, the potential (future) soil sealing of agricultural land, which is proposed within dc framework of the valid Landscape-plan, is evaluated. The results show that 396 hectares of agricultural land (40% of the cadastral area) have been built since the year 1824 until the present day. In the events of this trend, a large loss of agricultural land can be expected in the future.
