The impact of mining on the landscape in the area Mursko Središće

Na podruĉju Murskog Središća rudarilo se u razdoblju od 1921. godine, kada su pronađeni prvi ugljeni slojevi na području Peklenice, pa sve do 1972. godine kad su zbog jeftine nafte i njenih derivata opalile zadnje rudarske mine. Ono što je danas ostalo iza rudarenja je Spomen dom rudarstva u Murskom Središću, spomenik rudaru u centru grada te naziv “grad rudara“. Utjecaj rudarenja je vidljiv i u krajoliku ovog područja gdje nalazimo brdašca obrasla vegetacijom, koja su nastala navoženjem jalovine u procesu vađenja ugljena tzv. “halde“. Terenskim kartiranjem na podlozi topografske karte Republike Hrvatske mjerila 1:25 000 te uz pomoć GPS uređaja izrađena je baza podataka sa prostornim rasporedom, morfometrijskim obilježjima, osnovnim podacima o staništu i njihovom fotodokumentacijom.In the area of Mursko Središće mining occured in the period since 1921. when they first discovered coal layers in Peklenica until 1972. year when due to the appearance of cheap oil and its derivatives last miner mines were fired. What is today left behind mining is The Memorial Centre of mining in Mursko Sredisce, Miners monument in the city center and the name "City of miners." The impact of mining is evident in the landscape of the area where there are a small hills covered with vegetation called “halde“. They were created from slipways tailings in the process of extracting coal. Using topographic map of Croatian scale of 1:25 000 and GPS device field measurements were performed. Result of these measurements is informatin of their spatial layout, database that contains morphometric characteristics and basic data on their habitat geomorphological processes and photo documentation
