Green infrastructure (GI) can be considered as one of the concepts that can help in combating today's environmental problems – loss of biodiversity, climate change, overexploitation, etc. There are localities with abundant GI on one hand, and localities where the GI is severely reduced or completely missing. South Moravian region is one of the regions in the Czech Republic where the localities from the second group are frequently found. In our contribution, we will therefore present an ongoing project, whose focus is to not only identify so called problematic localities (with underrepresented/missing GI) but also to provide some general thoughts if we can use information about past habitats and other existing information (e.g. presence of areas with special/general protection, potentially available municipality/state land, or completed land consolidation projects) to enhance the current GI network.

Keywords: Green infrastructure gaps, historical habitats, South Moravian region, environmental problems
