Urban soils in cities are being affected by construction and development, impacting their functions in the urban landscape. A study in Bratislava focused on surveying and mapping these urban soils to meet the needs of different groups of city residents. The researchers used methods like soil profile recognition, field book descriptions, and soil contamination analysis. They also utilized GIS technology and aerial maps to create various soil maps for urban planning purposes. The study found that mapping urban soils based on quality demands of the population can help in planning and zoning processes.
