Geomorphologic database in the function of the Central Lika landscape typology (Republic of Croatia)

Landscape typology is based on the analysis of an integrated system of elements of natural geographic basis and socio-geographical modification of the area. The basis of the natural basis is a relief. This paper gives emphasis on the establishment of geomorphologic database as the basis for data collecting of relief forms. Therefore the base model is adapted for the needs of landscape analysis and spatial analysis of observed natural and socio-geographic landscape components within a GIS. Integration of the geomorphological data in spatial databases with the purpose of synthetic display of morphological characteristics of the particular area on the digital geomorphic map has enabled updates in an easier way and to supplement existing knowledge of the genesis and the evolution of relief shapes within the study area – the Central Lika. Clearly defined objects within the set up database enabled an easier correlation of geomorphological database with other geoscientific databases including those that contain other geographical components of the Central Lika.
