Cultural landscapes, created in time under the influence of natural and anthropic factors, were subject to quantitative and qualitative changes. In the structure of landscapes, you can also notice degradation, ruin, abandonment etc. This presentation of the research results is aimed at counteracting the decline of this cultural phenomenon in the Republic of Moldova and finding real solutions based on the description, analysis, interpretation of noble parks, in historical Bessarabia which were created by the activities of the nobility of Polish origin. Monuments of landscape architecture in the Republic of Moldova are estimated based on the typology carried out by Cocean Pompeia. According to representative genetic cronies, as well as the definition of cultural landscapes, we chose cultural landscapes resulting from production activities: parks with noblemen’s manors. The Polish nobility in the historical Bessarabia had an important role in the process of cultivating the landscapes. She left a specific architecture behind her – dehydro-parks designed by well-thought-out structures. Manor houses and deontrological parks in the territory of the Republic of Moldova, those who were created thanks to the activities of the nobility of Polish origin are recorded in the Register of monuments under the protection of the state. Today, these monuments are in very bad condition, and the institutions of the Moldovan state are unable to find a solution to this problem and lack of money. However, despite this, today noble houses and deontrological parks are very important elements of landscape pictures, and can become a good element in the development of tourism in Moldova.

The autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha is the region with the biggest vineyard area of Spain. The rural landscape is totally adapted to the geographical conditions of the Mediterranean Europe, with signs of proper identity derived from its historical tradition and a peculiar way of working the territory by the population. Its natural dynamics and complexity, consequence of the capacity to adapt to social and economic processes which have conditioned it over time, is united to the importance of the agricultural structure. This work has the objective to analyse that kind of process with the analysis of the vineyard's historical evolution, transformations derived from the application of the Common Agrarian Policy of the European Union, and its undeniable cultural nature that means an interesting potential to contribute to the territorial development.

Xerothermic grasslands are veritable botanical gems of the Ponidzie region, located in the upland zone of Poland. Most of these exceptional plant communities have been formed as a result of deforestation, in habitats characterized by specific climatic, hydrological and soil conditions. The result of the natural reserve protection of the xerothermic grassland, however, is opposite to the desired result. The survival of the xerothermic grassland depends on the change in the approach to their protection. Xerothermic grasslands are an excellent example of the difficulties with maintaining very valuable, but semi-natural and anthropogenic communities, related to a large extent to traditional, extensive forms of agriculture. Similar problems occur in the case of gladiolus meadows in lower subalpine forest zones or of once-mown molinion meadows in river valleys.

More and more often, post-mining and post-exploitation areas, which have been heavily transformed by man’s economic activities, are no longer a danger to the environment, but they enhance the monotonous urban-industrial landscape of a particular region and are instead its identifying value. Activities regarding the planning of landscape development are very difficult. This paper emphasizes some of the problems that result from legal barriers with regard to the concept of the more diversified management of post-mining areas as substantial forms of the landscape. In the process of the complex shaping of the natural environment in reclamation actions regarding post-mining areas geographers, biologists and architects have a large role to play.. Due to the fact that landscape management falls within the scope of interest and competencies of many stakeholders, such as: government, regional and self-government institutions, nature, monument and state forest protection authorities as well as the scientific community from various disciplines, it is very difficult to reach a consensus in this matter and to develop uniform operating procedures. The landscape management problems on postindustrial areas have been illustrated through the example of the region of Silesia. The cultural landscape of the region has been intensively developed in the last thousand years, but signs of human impact are much older, dating back to the pre-historical and early Medieval periods. The Silesia region is currently undergoing a major spatial reconstruction.

This paper attempts to characterise various cultural landscapes in the area of Eąuatorial Africa. To achieve this, the contents of various thematic maps and satellite photos representing: areas covered with forests (mostly secondary forests), naturę reserves, areas of extensive and intensive agriculture and urban-industrial areas were overlaid with the contents of map of potential vegetation (which represent, to use a simplification, the natural, primeval landscape). The method applied allowed for distinguishing five types of cultural landscape that correspond to five levels of transformation of the primeval landscape. The resulting map shows a mosaic-like structure of landscapes. This structure changes constantly. The surface area of regions with a certain landscape type increases or decreases, or else the regions change their locations. A detailed analysis of socio-economic processes (and the related changes in the natural environment) can constitute a basis for a prediction of cultural landscape transformation. It is the author's opinion that such prediction could be applied in various planning projects.

The cultural landscape reflects the composite influences of the regional physical, cultural, and technological environments. It is a dynamic entity which evolves over time and the perceptions of its human inhabitants is influential in the process. This paper is a descriptive analysis of Kangerlussuaq, a young but maturing settlement located in west Greenland near the inland ice. The site’s natural resource base did not attract permanent settlement by the Inuit or Scandinavian colonists, but in the early days of the World War II, the American military took advantage of the exceptional flying conditions here and established an air base. In time, civilian functions developed as Kangerlussuaq became the hub for air travel in Greenland. A transitory utilitarian settlement was eventually transformed into a more permanent settlement. In recent years there seems to be a growing sense of community and place attachment as the cultural landscape begins to exhibit more of the components of a real ‘town’.

The article analyzes Listy z narodowej pielgrzymki ( Letters from the national pilgrimage ) by Ryszard Berwiński. It is a series of five texts written in prose in which the author tells his impressions from a trip to the vicinity of Gopło, probably in the summer of 1838. At that time, such escapades became fashionable in Poland. The aim of the study is to define the lexis used in the Letters to describe the cultural landscape of Greater Poland in order to identify the aforementioned word material and analyse the way it is used.

In the article I take into consideration the concept of cultural landscape in the reflection of Theodor W. Adorno. I assume that in the notion of landscape there is possible to distinguish two meanings: the aesthetic one, which follows the history of aesthetics and artistic representation of the world. Georg Simmel in the article “The philosophy of Landscape” put its formula perfectly. The second meaning of landscape: a cultural one, is subordinated to the reread aesthetics of the sublime. It rejects the aesthetic distance for the benefit of engagement and process. In it there is expressed spatially conceived environment, historically and socially shaped by both the man and the forces of nature. Adorno combine landscape with history and its the products, and social processes. In this sense, the landscape bears the traces of human activity. As such it undergoes to the processes of industrialization, which create its postindustrial or tourist variations.

The problem of representing the Polish cultural landscape consists of two components. The first component is the choice of content. Wishing to define the breadth of the content of a cultural landscape map, one needs to remember that it is composed of two facets. The first facet, the material result of human activity, is easily discernable in the field and easily illustrated on a map. Elements included in this facet are: sacred and secular historical structures, the spatial layout of cities, archeological sites etc. The second facet of cultural landscape needs to be considered in immaterial terms. It is difficult to illustrate on a map, because its elements do not lend themselves to being topographically situated. One could mention, for example, religions, customs and traditions, a common historical past etc. Most often, one can only indirectly speculate about this facet of the cultural landscape, on the basis of the material characteristics of the cultural landscape. The second problem related to presenting cultural landscape on a map is the choice of graphic form for the map. The problem is to a large extent tied to difficulties stemming from the necessity of maintaining semantic correctness (the relation between “symbol” and “object”). In practice, during the graphic editing of a map representing the cultural landscape, one should remember to: a) choose a scale suitable for the representation, upon which depend the degree of detail and the generalization of the content; b) correctly depict the variation boundaries, taking into account sharp and fuzzy boundaries; c) make a well-designed symbol key.

The history of the protection of the special qualities of trees is almost as old as humanity itself. The protection of trees was mainly associated with a kind of sacrum, which surrounded old and large trees. There are plenty of reasons why old trees are protected, but their popularity as tourist attractions varies widely. This study was an attempt at determin-ing the attractiveness of monumental trees as monuments and a part of the cultural landscape. The analysis was conducted on sites with monumental trees in six regions: Siedlce, Mińsk Mazowiecki, Biała Podlaska, Repki, Czeremcha, and Mrozy, as well as the towns: Siedlce, Biała Podlaska and Minsk Mazowiecki. Most of the monumental trees were found in alley systems and historical parks, formerly belonging to manors and palaces. Only a few were found in the fields. In addition to the trees of native origin were introduced species, imported specially for cultivation in gardens and parks. Among these, the most numerous were specimens of small-leaved lime. English oak was somewhat less frequent.

In our research we are seeking for a Lower Silesian identity, we are especially interested in the Polish-German cultural heritage in social remembrance (or social oblivion). In the article our basic purpose is to provide the grounds for discussion about the presence of the sacred space in social memory (the old German Calvary as a part of contemporary Lubawka’s cultural heritage), using group interviews with visual presentations to stimulate a journey back into the past, to familiarize with the place and its images. We aim at the reconstruction of “social frames of memory”, the moments when the small sacral architecture began to lose its religious mad social power, and we also want to show young residents’ attitudes towards this process. The project also seems to have some social value because it may become an introduction to the debate on preserving the Calvary as an element of local identity.

Small technical heritage structures in the cultural landscape present special challenges for their research and conservation. They are usually located on private land, many have disappeared entirely or have been refitted for a different purpose, and archival records are sparse or not available at all. The article describes experiences with the research and conservation of these structures in the Rožnov area in eastern Czechia. It outlines available methods, critically reflects on their application, and suggests ways for overcoming limitations associated with research of these structures. The article argues for the creation of a robust interdisciplinary research team including historians, anthropologists, GIS specialists, archaeologists, foresters, and geologists, to name a few. Also, it calls for the critical and complex use of archival materials, ethnographic interviews, and GIS in mutual interconnection. The conservation of small technical heritage objects is contingent on what we can find out about them through research as well as on their character, location, state of preservation, and on attitudes towards them held by owners, local inhabitants, and municipal authorities. A strong role can be played by private enthusiasts, local NGOs, and public officials as partners in the repair, renovation, and promotion of these structures. Open-air museums can contribute with expert supervision and methodical leadership to prevent amateur renovations from ruining the structures’ heritage value.

Adrianna Kus in her paper Unity in Dispersion. The Cultural Landscape of the Workers’ Settlements in Radzionków – Selected Examples describes the process of industrialization and spatial development of the town. The author is focusing mainly on the landscape of three most representative for the selected issue workers’ settlements which were built by the Henckel von Donnersmarck family at the turn of the 19th and 20th century – Lazy, Artura and Hugona. These colonies are part of the cultural landscape of Radzionków and constitute the material cultural heritage of the town. The aim of this chapter is an attempt to answer the following questions: how did Rojca, a large industrial district of Radzionków, develop, how did it influence the inhabitants, and what changes took place in the cultural landscape of the workers’ settlements after the liquidation of the local ironworks and coal mine? In order to do so, the author describes and analyses the cultural landscape of the settlements, taking into account the material changes that occurred within the area, and sustained mining traditions, and the history of industry in the area. She also takes into consideration the industrialization of the town which had a significant impact on the inhabitants, and the effects are still noticeable in the society in the form of, among others, the division between residents of Radzionków and Rojca. The landscape of the workers’ settlement accumulates the signs that are showing the cultural and historical changes of spatial character. These changes significantly influenced the relations between the inhabitants, as well as their ways of living. The signs shows a change in the needs of the residents and their lifestyles. The post-industrial, degraded areas now gains a new character, and some of the workers’ settlement in Radzionków have been completely transformed, becoming unified with blocks of flats or completely covered by allotments. The settlements that used to form a grid of places in the industrial district of Radzionków are now seemingly unconnected and separate places.

Considering the general typology of landscapes, winery landscapes are a subtype of agricultural landscapes. A winery landscape is an area in which the dominant land use or indigenous vegetation consists of extensive grapevine crops, that is, vineyards and/or areas covered by wild grapevines; where a specific wine culture has evolved, or grapes constitute an important part of the local diet. In this paper, winery landscapes are studied at two levels: typological (as a repeatable, specific type of area with precisely defined characteristic features), and regional (regional areas that are unique and individual). The authors analyze the evolution of winery landscapes over time and describe their natural and historical aspects. A wide range of factors were taken into consideration: historical and political, socio-economic, cultural and religious influences, as well as the natural environmental background. This paper aims to describe the evolution of winery landscapes in Europe and beyond by considering the Mediterranean Basin, Asia Minor, Transcaucasia, and Central Asia.

As a consequence of its long history of more than 250 years, the Douro Demarcated Region (NE Portugal) boasts a distinct cultural landscape typified by terraces filled with the regional variety of grapevine - it is a region where famous wines are produced, in particular Port wine. Nevertheless, especially after the 1980s, the need to cover labour shortages and increase productivity led to a gradual change in the landscape, and today the traditional terraces are mixed with new types of vineyards, such as the “vinha ao alto” (vertical vines) and “vinha em patamares” (vines on terraces). Against this backdrop, and with a view to preserving the landscape in a sustainable and multifunctional way, UNESCO awarded the region the “Evolving Living Landscape, World Heritage” award. In this article we combine extensive documentary research with productive field work in order to question the relationship between the need to preserve an exceptional, cultural landscape and the need for regional sustainability in this World Heritage site.

The traditional character of Hutsul villages and their spatial development has been changing slowly but inevitably over the course of time. Historically, single farmsteads were built separately and were mostly self-sufficient, the distance between them being considerable. Nowadays, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the economic transformation brought along many changes, among these the fact that depopulation is taking place and alterations in spatial development are occurring again. The localisation of secluded farmsteads, situated far away from each other is no longer as important as it used to be. Reasons for the abandonment of farmsteads were examined, and factors such as altitude, distance from the village centre and the administration affiliation were taken into account. Land use changes were analysed in relation to the slope inclination. Some of the most important factors influencing the intensity and direction of these processes are high prices of land, improvement in living conditions, better access to services and the general ‘westernisation’ of lifestyles. The depopulation rate has been seen to increase in correlation with the rising altitude and distance from the village centre. On the other hand, there was no unambiguous link between the abandonment of farmsteads and administration affiliation. Mowed areas were localised on the slopes with the smallest inclination. Animal breeding has become unprofitable due to a lack in demand and low product prices, which has led to an increasing number of meadows and pastures lying fallow.
