The paper makes part of a larger study, the objective of which is to evaluate engineering-geological conditions in a selected area of the City of Ostrava for the needs of land-use planning, building offices and potential developers, mainly by means of Geographic Information Systems. The research aims to verify the mentioned approach to make it useful for other areas as well. There are a number of evaluated geofactors, but the publication deals with the first and most important one, i.e. expansion of engineering-geological zones and their quantification in relation to the built-up area and other landscape elements in time since 1946 to date. The identified situation will provide a real overview of the evaluated districts of Slezska Ostrava, Vitkovice and Radvanice, defined by the map sheet 15-43-10 in 1:10 000 scale. As they have a similar type of foundation soil, workability, etc., the zones represent an area with similar or homogenous models of engineering-geological environment, which are of a key importance from the point of view of a preliminary evaluation of foundation conditions for any future structures.
