Abstract

The aim of the set of specialized maps is to capture and present the development of four Prague districts - the oldest Prague industrial and residential suburbs, which developed especially before joining Prague in 1920. The map is based on statistical data from historical population censuses in the years 1843 (Palacký's description) to 2011 (the last population census, which was digitized within the project and uses spatial data (shp) also created for the project ).

The set of specialized maps is a synthetic representation of the development of urban, demographic, geographical and socio-economic development of the four oldest Prague suburbs - Karlín, Smíchov, Žižkov and Vinohrady. Statistical data that have not yet been synthetically processed in any publication are presented.

The basis is manually transcribed data from statistical lexicons and other data sources, and spatial data have been newly created (boundaries of the cadastral area in various time sections and changing spatial units of the internal division of the district - census districts, urban districts). The map sheet consists of four map elements and four graphic elements, individual legends, an overview showing the geographical location of the district in the city of Prague and imprints with basic information about the authors of the thematic concept of the map, cartographic and graphic processing, affiliation of authors and dedication .
