Abstract
The paper and the maps deal with analysis of Olomouc city development that was based on GIS processing. The first step of the following analysis was digitization of all city plans created in the twentieth century. The new city plan that is going to be finalized in 2011 was also included in this analysis. Altogether four city plans from 1930, 1955, 1985 and 1999 were collected, digitized and analyzed. The main result of this work is a set of maps that shows how serious the changes in Olomouc city in the last few decades were. The maps are not only documents of the status of each functional area in the studied periods. In the form of synthesis, the maps also show stability and instability of spatial functional structure. The maps can be used as a significant source of information about developments of Olomouc city during the twentieth century. The results can be used as an important source for a number of geographical or urban studies, both for experts and the general public.
