ASSESSMENT OF GULLY EROSION ACCORDING TO ADMINISTRATIVE UNITS OF SLOVAKIA
Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2009, Vol 49, Issue 1
Abstract
Within the research of spatial organization of gully erosion in Slovakia, the most significant and unique (also from the international point of view) work of its kind is the “map of the density of gully erosion” by Bučko and Mazúrová from 1958. Since its publication there was not enough attention paid to this issue at all. This study proposes the assessment of the average density of gully network according to the regions and districts of Slovak republic on the basis of the results in the above-mentioned map. The whole presented method is based on integration of input data and final analysis by means of geographic information systems. Obtained results show, that Slovak territory is relatively evenly affected by gully erosion from the point of view of its territory classification to regions. The comparison of the districts shows greater differences which are caused mainly by smaller area of these administrative units and the district position within geomorphologic classification of Slovakia.
