Abstract Scientific interest across the fields of historical landscape research and historical land use has grown in connection with the dynamic changes in the current landscape. Various historical sources are used for gathering information on historical land use and its reconstruction. These sources are then the subject matter of the research with respect not only to their contents but also to the quality and accuracy of the information presented. Our contribution deals with the issue of accuracy of old cadastres on the example of Josephian Cadastre which dates back to the Habsburg Empire at the end of the 18th century and which was made with the participation of laypeople (peasants) and with minimal technical equipment. We compared the results of field surveys from the Josephian Cadastre with the more recent Stabile Cadastre and using the GIS and methods of descriptive and inference statistics we evaluated the influence of individual factors on accuracy. The resulted average deviation of individual plots in Josephian Cadastre was 14.8% and depended mainly on the land use and slope of the plot. According to the results, we consider that data from this type of source could thus enrich the current known databases by data on long-term land use.

历史好奇心还是历史土地利用的准确空间信息来源？以哈布斯堡帝国约瑟芬地籍为例的旧地籍准确性问题

摘要 历史景观研究和历史土地利用领域的科学兴趣随着当前景观的动态变化而增长。各种历史资源用于收集有关历史土地使用及其重建的信息。这些来源不仅在内容方面，而且在所提供信息的质量和准确性方面都是研究的主题。我们的贡献以约瑟芬地籍为例，解决了旧地籍的准确性问题，该地籍可以追溯到 18 世纪末的哈布斯堡帝国，并在非专业人士（农民）的参与下以最少的技术设备制作。我们将约瑟夫地籍的实地调查结果与最近的稳定地籍进行了比较，并使用 GIS 和描述性和推理统计方法评估了各个因素对准确性的影响。Josephian Cadastre 中单个地块的平均偏差为 14.8%，主要取决于地块的土地利用和坡度。根据结果​​，我们认为来自此类来源的数据可以通过长期土地利用数据丰富当前已知的数据库。
