Description The industrial heritage in any landscape is represented by objects and other traces left by industry and associated human activities which do not serve the present industry and inhabitants in the same way as they did before. Spatial concentrations of objects of such heritage form post-industrial landscapes (PILs).The paper deals with the procedures for PIL identification on a national level, classification of PILs and their initial assessment for management. Publicly accessible 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 about PIL futures. The generic classes of PILs were assessed from the viewpoint of their possible impact on human lives and activities. Preliminary PIL management proposals were developed.
