Open dataset contains data on underground mine workings and on reported impacts of mine workings over the territory of the Czech Republic. Attributes include detailed information about each object, e.g. the exact location, topographical situation, proprietary relation, technical data, the current state of these workings, their hazardousness and possible security measures. There are also links to the signatures of source reports stored in the CGS Geofond archive and to the digital documentation in *.jpg format - e.g. photograph, map cut-out, drawing.
Data from the database are continuously used in monitoring the safety of mine workings according to the Mining Act, in land-use planning, and as a part of the urban planning documentation according to the Building Act.
The proposal for the creation of the mine workings registration originated at a joint meeting of the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the Czech Mining Authority in 1998. The Czech Geological Survey was entrusted with the processing and maintenance of the mine workings database. The content of the database is based on the record sheet of the „main mine working“, which is defined in the Decree of the Czech Mining Office No. 52/1997 Coll. In addition, it contains other attributes that are necessary for dealing with cases of reported mining impacts according to § 35 of the Mining Act and Decree of the Ministry of Environment No. 363/1992 Coll., on the detection of mine impacts and maintaining their inventory.
