We live in times of contradicting globalisation processes, tensions between civilisations and conflicts between different cultures. We consider globalisation, which with regards to all its advantageous and disadvantageous traits critically as an ambivalent phenomenon. It is currently the reason and context of the intercultural and the transcultural phenomena. However, it is necessary to realise that the result of all the factors influencing of globalisation always takes place at a specific location. A global network integrates and absorbs local networks to the global system, not excluding even the urban units – towns. The objective of this article is to disrobe the process of globalisation in the “railway town” and increase awareness of some connections between global and local phenomena.

The article looks at daily life in Polish towns before the partitioning of the country. The analysis concerns interference in what is termed as the 'physical living environment'. The following specialized areas are reviewed: fire brigades, sewage disposal, drainage and irrigation and care about municipal facilities. The author leaves aside economic considerations, focusing on the municipal nature of the regulations that were to serve all the inhabitants of the town. In the conclusions he points to the cultural determinants of the Jews' participation in the municipal life of a feudal town as a whole. That participation was strongly curtailed by cultural and economic antagonisms, yet diverse forms of cooperation between the kehillah and the city council were indispensable if only because of the very nature of a city as the integral living space of its inhabitants. In this context the author portrays the process of exclusion of Jews from the general urban community as something that was irrational and led to the deterioration of living conditions in the feudal towns.

The study deals with the issue of cultural heritage in urban environment in the post-socialist period. It results from the theoretical concept of deindustrialization. The study indicates that the end of the industrialization era left dysfunctional industrial and warehouse buildings (brownfields) in cities – in the periphery and central parts, too. Those are in the centres of attention of developers. However, some examples from abroad signify that it is possible to recover those objects and use in tourism as the cultural heritage. The study shows the negative example of Medený Hámor in Banská Bystrica one of the most important technical heritages of Europe and world as well.

Community gardens are examples of local activism which is focused on alternative ways of gardening in urban environment. The idea to start searching these alternative approaches to gaining crops in urban environment is often coming from market overfilled with foreign restaurants, fast food restaurants, goods from mass production which is low quality, etc. The study deals with question how this lifestyle and its realization can be in harmony with life in the city. We choose the draft of social associations focused on nutrition and eating culture mainly in socio-cultural context and influence of globalization on this phenomenon. The study is also focused on penetration and adaptation of these activities in Slovak territory, reasons why people started with these activities and why they prefer certain types of eating habits.

The aim of this paper is to show the substantial and significant qualitative changes that brings globalisation to towns - to their position in the development of the society, to the structure of the settlements, to the state of the urban environment, to changes in physical and spatial structures and to the socio-spatial organization of the urban environment and urban societies. The author documents these changes using examples of the world's largest cities, the leaders of globalization. These cities are not only becoming the economic and innovation centres but also socially dual urban environments. He describes changes in their socio-spatial organization as well as the modelling of their socio-spatial situation, which is displayed in their economy, population structure, culture and life style. He also notes the particularities of the urban development in Europe, emphasizing Central Europe, where urban development has the character of dual transformation. Its effects have intensified social and economic polarisation among towns, accelerated the formation of their metropolitan regions, and strengthened sub-urbanization processes. The effects of this dual transformation include a worsening population structure and an increasing social structure differentiation in these post-socialist towns. In particular, this paper deals with changes in the settlement structure of towns, changes in their inner physical, spatial as well as socio-physical structure, the suburbanisation development process, and the cessation of population growth in towns.

Servants represented a stable social and professional structure of the urban and rural society. The article is focused at the servant institution in a context of factors that caused the persistence of this social phenomenon in Slovakia until the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. It points also at the creation and development of servants as a social reality in the condition of an obvious status and wealth difference among the society. According to the examples of the current times, the author points at the actuality that labour for hire in social history presents an important part of the economic strategy in society.

The contribution is dealing with concept of diversity in context of ethnological study of urban environment. The diversity, which has always played an important role in the ethnological research, creates essential complementary categories of the ethnological exploration with universality. The author pays attention to the question of distinction between principles of social relations in rural and urban areas under the Slovak conditions. In the urban environment the weakening of social control, dominance of formalised social relations, simultaneous individualization of way of life and maintenance of the continuity of group values can be observed. These factors create conditions for the support of the social and cultural diversity, which can be analysed on the intra- and inter-object level. The ethnological concern range from intra-individual (changes of value orientations of an individual in time) and inter-individual (differences of social status and interpretation, evaluation and acquirement of cultural elements among members of given group) to intra-cultural (local, regional or sub cultural versatility) and intercultural diversity (mutual relations of separate ethnic cultures, minority - majority relations). The acceptance of inter-individual and inter-group diversity leads (also in Slovak context) to some kind of basal tolerance, which results from concrete experiences confirming possibility of coexistence and cooperation of individuals and groups with different religious, ethnic and cultural background, as well as ideas of multi-, or inter-culturalism in the recent urban environment.
