Archival data from the land cadastre is a rich source for analysing the spatial distribution of land
structure and land use in the past. The aim of this thesis was to analyse the archival data of the Franciscan
cadastre, to study the land and parcel structure, and the use of land in the selected cadastral municipality
at the time of the establishment of the land cadastre, and to compare it with the current situation. The
focused spatial unit in this thesis is the cadastral municipality of Loke pri Zagorju. In the GIS
environment, we first georeferenced the archival data into the selected coordinate system and vectorised
it for further analysis, thereby establishing a spatial database. The cadastral record of the Franciscean
cadastre contains, besides the graphic part, also the written part, which was also digitised for further
analysis. The used data from the written part included primarily data on parcels, geographical names,
landowners, and land use. Later, we connected the descriptive and graphic parts of the data. This
connection allowed us to study the land and parcel structure, land use, and the use of geographical,
particularly field names, in the cadastral municipality of Loke pri Zagorju. After obtaining the results,
we compared them with the current situation in the real estate cadastre, using data from the Surveying
and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia, and the actual land use, using data from the Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry, and Food. The analyses showed that the land structure in the cadastral
municipality of Loke pri Zagorju has changed significantly, with urbanisation on one side and parcel
consolidation and nationalisation on the other. We also found that the land structure during the time of
the Franciscean cadastre in 1825 was quite diverse. The results are presented both descriptively and
graphically in the thesis.
