Description Application of integrated geospatial data in crisis management (CM). Present solutions in crisis management are based mostly on the technocratic or technological approach. Relevant geospatial data coming from different sources enter the GIS processing procedure without any preliminary quality and compatibility test. Because of high sensitivity of data processing goals, the technology for full geodata integration (format, scale, resolution, co-ordinate system, thematic content) has to be applied to reach sufficient results. Application of the digital landscape model (DLM) as a new style integrated GIS database is presented in the contribution. DLM consists of three integrated multiparameter data layers: natural background, human impacts and development interest, and DEM as well. Advantages of the DLM application in CM are discussed.
