| Abstract | The national programme initiated by L. Kreybig for a systematic, 1:25,000 scale practical soil mapping was carried out for the whole territory of Hungary between 1935 and 1951. In the early fifties, when the action was successfully completed, Hungary was the first in the World to have such detailed soil information (1:25,000 scale maps and complementary data base in the form of explanatory booklets) for the whole country. These maps still represent a valuable treasure of soil information at the present time. Consequently, their digital reambulation and GIS adaptation is a challenging task, which has been initiated by the GIS Laboratory of RISSAC recently. GIS processing of the Kreybig soil maps started in 1998. The experimental project financed by RISSAC endeavours the GIS application and the integration of soil data available at various institutions, in different scale and processing level. The aim of the project is the development of the soil module of a Hungarian production database for the determination of the optimal functions of agriculture in a given region, together with the harmonization of agricultural production and the protection of land and environment. |
