The industrial heritage in any landscape is represented by objects and other tracesleft by industry and associated human activities, which do not serve the present industryand inhabitants in the same way as they did before. Spatial concentrations of objects ofsuch heritage form post-industrial landscapes (PIL). The paper deals with the proceduresfor PIL identification on the Czech national level, classification of PIL and their initialassessment for management done for PIL in the Czech border zone with Austria. Publiclyaccessible data sources on man-made land forms, land use, brownfields, mined sites,contaminated sites, industrial architectural heritage, etc. were used with GIS technology.The outline, area, content and topic description are essential for decision making aboutPIL future. The generic classes of PIL were assessed from the viewpoint of their possibleimpact on human life and activities. Preliminary management proposals were developed.
