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 into tasks assigned to the preaching office in Protestant communities in towns of Upper Hungary in the 16th and 17th centuries (Pentapolitana league). It tackles the issue from the perspective of the history of ideas and contextual historical analysis. The analysis is based on a corpus of theological and normative texts of secular and religious character from the studied region. An outline of the theological frame (given by basic dogmatic texts) that for the Protestant communities served as the background for defining the nature of preaching office is followed by an analysis of expectations set by the representatives of the local church and town communities. Key to these are the matters of dogmatic orthodoxy and issues related to the contents of preaching, the expected social impact, and requirements set on preachers by secular and religious bodies. The article also outlines the opportunities and limitations for implementation of the idealised image of the preaching office in specific conditions of individual towns, especially with regards to educational and dogma-related requirements and the conflicting potential of preaching with respect to the secular power.

The Warsaw Pact armies invaded the state territory of the former Czechoslovakia in August 1968 in order to suppress liberalisation reforms. The event fundamentally transformed further political, democratising, economic, cultural and social processes in Czechoslovakia. The military presence of Soviet intervention troops resulted in the establishment of special garrisons that became de facto foreign and ‘invisible’ zones. Zvolen became one of such places where Soviet soldiers operated, worked and lived. The garrison as well as a purpose built residential district for the members of the Soviet army and their families were situated in Zvolen. The objective of this study is to explain in detail whereabouts in the town their presence was (in)visible and to demonstrate examples of situations in which the soldiers, their families and local citizens came into official and unofficial contact. The study is based on archival materials, contemporary regional print and field research.

This study deals with the dynamic changes of intra-urban town structures in post-communist Central Europe, focusing on the situation in Slovakia. According to structuralism, the towns in post-communist countries are products of the changes characteristic of a transition from a socialist socio-economic formation to a capitalist socio-economic formation. It is a temporary phase. The conceptualisation of the post-socialist town, as a dynamic and transitory developmental stage, is based on the theory of the town in real socialism discussed in this study. The post-socialist town can be characterised as a transitive developmental stage connected with the dynamic changes related to the adaptation of intra-urban structures to new conditions. Current changes in the town's spatial structure are determined both by factors connected to the transformation of the social system and by globalisation. Methodologically, it is difficult to separate these two interfering factors to identify individual changes. The study concentrates on the identification and brief characteristics of transformational processes that are displayed in individual intra-urban structures. Based upon their occurrence and impact in these intra-urban structures (morphological, functional and socio-demographic), we can define these processes as complex (e.g. suburbanisation, gentrification), partially complex (e.g. commertionalisation) and elementary (e.g. sacralisation, functional fragmentation, segregation, separation and status regression). An important feature of these transformation processes is their various developments in different parts of a town. While respecting spatial and morphological town development, we study the effects of the transformation processes in five town zones - centre, inner town, villa quarters, apartment-block estates and suburbs. The focus of our interest is the dynamic changes of town intra-urban structures in post-communist Central Europe, especially concerning Slovakia. We attempt to conceptualise the post-socialist town as a specific research phenomenon and to suggest methodological aspects of researching intra-urban structures through the identification of key transformational processes. By using concrete examples, we show the occurrence of the processes in different parts of town. We identify the effects produced by these processes in various intra-urban structures.

The casino movement in the Kingdom of Hungary also found a response in Modra, which belonged to the category of smaller towns. It is a previously unknown development, not mentioned in the comprehensive study of the casino movement. The author’s analysis is based on hitherto unknown documents. She clarifies the process of establishment of a town casino, analyses the leadership of the club and its relationship to the Slovak casino. The latter originated on an ethnic basis and came into a long-term conflict with the town casino. Both casinos became venues for cultivated social life, differentiation of political positions in a revolutionary period and a form of national representation.

This research focuses on those Gradec citizens who were elected to administrative functions since these were held by the richest and most distinguished citizens. They constituted the political elite of the city as there was only a thin line between the economic, social and political elites in Gradec. This paper deals with many aspects and elements that played a role in the formation of the urban elite, elements such as family ties, wealth, moral values, piety, education and membership of the nobility.

Primarily, the study is theoretical and it reflects the ways of the state to tackle the interdisciplinary research of spoken communication in urban environments. The text reflects the views at the status of the problem solving both in the past and present. It does not only focus on the support of designs and trends in the research of spoken language in Slovakia, but also on the outline of the generalizing considerations, which contextually reflect the status of urban speech and knowledge of the stratification of the Slovak national language. The spoken language in the town has been forming as a complex system of communication with the conglomerate features. It represents a heterogeneous language code in a specific territory. It appears as a dynamic intersection variety which draws its means from all the elements of a national language. It reacts to the dynamics of a social change and due to its variability and openness. It is able to accept dynamic changes that occur in the language system. It approaches the Slovak standard language, the position of which considerably strengthens in the process of continuous novelisation. We express our conviction about constituting the so-called colloquial Slovak.

A town as a literary setting began to be used more often in Slovak literature in the period of Realism, in about the 1870s. Increasing use of town as a motif was writers´ response to the new situation in the society and culture, which occurred as a result of the contemporary modernization, which also included new phenomena of urbanization and the related changes of lifestyle. The literary depiction differentiated between town (mainly Slovak environment) and city (most often Budapest, sometimes Prague and very rarely Vienna). The town was presented as ours, Slovak, whereas city as strange – that is unfamiliar (in terms of topography), different (with regard to the customs and morals), unknown (as for the language). Although the traditional Slovak opposition concept domestic – strange always contained an element of a priori assessment, where the domestic definitely meant the positive and the strange mostly associated with the negative, the connotations of the town/city were not just black and white. The ´black-and-white spectrum´ was present there but it only functioned as a starting point whose significance was further reviewed or openly questioned within the changes of the genre. That way the original preconceived idea (either positive or negative) gradually developed into its opposite: originally idealized domestic town had to face criticism for its petit bourgeois character and superficiality (Jégé, Jesenský), and on the contrary traditionally disapproved city (namely Budapest) could be experienced as enriching even domesticated environment (Daniel Bachát-Dumný, Belo Klein-Tesnoskalský, Samuel Czambel). Although the contemporary literature placed weight on the realistic depiction of the world, its first and foremost intention was not to depict towns and cities realistically but to present ideologically motivated concepts of town and city being either a minority-friendly (acceptable), or dangerous (unacceptable) place.

The article provides a sociological reflection on the processes which Bratislava has undergone during the transformation and post-transformation periods. The development processes have been influenced by both systemic socio-political transition into a pluralist and market oriented system and the formation of Slovak statehood which made Bratislava the capital of the Slovak Republic. The civilization factor is one of the most important factors that have influenced the development of Bratislava. It is connected to the ongoing post-industrial and global processes that frame the developing space of Bratislava in broad international contexts.

The paper deals with the issue of cultural heritage in an urban environment. The research is located in the central Slovakia mining town of Banská Bystrica and its surroundings, with the focus on chosen historical events. Popular science literature often gives the town of Banská Bystrica titles with different attributes according to the town´s priorities in the historical context. “The mining town” is the oldest attribute and “the uprising town” (Banská Bystrica was the centre of Slovak National Uprising in 1944) or “administrative town” are among newer. The newest attributes usually concentrate on the town´s engagement in various projects, for example the town of sport, healthy town, green town, etc. There is also a long-time tradition of organizing annual fairs. The biggest and most famous fair is the Radvanský fair which celebrated its 360th anniversary in 2017. We consider the mining tradition, the uprising tradition and the elements listed on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Slovakia as the core of the town´s intangible cultural heritage.

Designed landscapes were more or less a clear demonstration of status, power and entitlement in all time periods: in their relationship to the audience as well as the landscape itself. In this elementary framework, a medieval castle is a good analogy, visually commanding a landscape and embodying the political and military potential, or a baroque castle complex with extensive gardens, expressing the social status of its owner and his place in the contemporary hierarchy. The design of the landscape – adaptation of natural elements and (primarily) its cultivation and combination with architecture – can be generally regarded as a status symbol. It is evident that the interplay of the ideal and reality affected also a contemporary vedute (views / prospects) of towns, manor houses with designed micro-worlds of manorial gardens, as well as cultural landscapes. Depictions of individual types of environments, landscape frameworks and landscape compositions were based on general idealized models of environments, into which painters and engravers inserted real panoramata of towns and villages as well as other structures (such as castles and chateaux, manor houses and whatever else might interest the public), and did so with greater or lesser degree of adaptation or, if we prefer, invention. This study presents fundamental characteristics of the given genre on selected examples from Bohemia around the year 1700 (pictorial maps, manuscript and printed prospects of cultural landscape with architecure).

The focus of this paper is concentrated on the problem of research of historical-geographical spatial development of towns in Slovakia. Methodology of cartographic processing is presented on the example of analysis of the development of two towns: Nové Mesto nad Váhom and Poprad. This paper deals with the spatial development of these two towns in comparable timeframes and it identifies areas with diverse functional land use and depicts these areas on a series of specific mapping outputs. Another area of interest of this work is the analysis of forming of most stable and non-stable areas of the towns based on information on changes in its functional land use. This paper wants to introduce a geographical point of view on the issues of research of historical-geographical development of the towns in Slovakia.

Archaeological excavation on the allotment 767 at the Kovacska Street position ranks among the biggest ones concerning house allotments in Kosice. In the past the researched area was a part of Franciscan monastery and it was probably a courtyard. There are no written sources documenting the time when the Franciscans settled in Kosice and history of the area before their approach. Contemplations on the importance of Kovacska Street in the transformation process of the pre-colonization settlement into a medieval city were motivated first of all by its historical name Platea Sclavorum or Windische Gasse (i. e. Slovak Street). The archaeological excavation allowed learning dispositions of two Gothic stone houses, defining their position toward the street and partially reconstructing size and shape of the two vanished medieval allotments. Concerning the houses 1 a 2, foundations of one-roomed buildings with disconnected stairway were preserved, which is one of the basic types of the Gothic urban stone architecture at our territory. This is a double-floored one-winged house with lower floor partially sunken into earth. The first floor, as usual, had only one room, the second floor was mostly double-roomed, divided with a wall set on a stone arched line in the lower floor. Construction of the houses 1 and 2 can be dated into the middle of the 14th century; they vanished probably during the first half of the 15th century. Apart from architecture made of stone, 17 medieval features were revealed during the excavations. They were shallow pits or burnt layers or hearths. Most of them were connected with the activities on the allotments during the houses existence and they can be dated into the 14th - first half of the 15th centuries. Only one pit had bigger size, from which an important assemblage of top medieval pottery dated to the second half of the 13th up to the first third of the 14th centuries was obtained. The assemblage ranks among the biggest ones in the town.

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.

In this paper, the author tries to make an onomastic research in a historical settlement in a current agglomeration of Leopoldov. It is based on an archival research of so far unprocessed cartographic sources from Vienna archives. He deals with the titles of relocated medieval villages such as Veresvar (earlier Bin) and Beregseg (current township Cervenik, Sulekovo), with terminated medieval hydronyms (Vazina, Canov, Boguna) as well as urbanonyms in the periphery of Leopoldov. Its up rise in the second half of 17th century meant a great change in the formation of the north-western part of Hlohovec region.

The latest study made in the block of buildings at the centre of the Market Square at No. 2 Przejście Garncarskie St. covered an area which according to archival maps, was the north-eastern fragment of the historical complex of rich merchants’ shops and the south-eastern fragment of the area with cloth merchants’ shops. The site of investigation lies between the Przejście Żelaźnicze (German name Eisenkram) running between the northern and the southern row of rich merchants’ shops, its earlier name recorded on R. Stein’s map as “Unter den Leinwandereissem” – which separated two rows of cloth merchants’ shops. The northern buildings of the rich merchants’ shops and southern cloth shops stood back to back. Investigation of these historic urban structures called for integration of the results of historical queries, archaeological and architectural studies. After all, the archaeological features represent relics of buildings, their development, or belonged to features and structures associated with the planning of urban space. The investigation made in 2008/2009 focused on an area which, according to archival maps and reconstructions made by historians - was occupied by rich merchants’ business premises (9), cloth merchants’ shops (4) and a building of unknown function. However, no evidence on the two latter was found. If they had existed in this location they must have above-ground structures without cellars. The earlier occupation levels had been destroyed by development of the 19th century but below the cellar level sunken features from the 13th c. (pits, production vats) were discovered dug into the natural layer, and younger rectangular pits filled with stones, finally, a well, backfilled during the 15th c., was found on site of the building with an unknown function. At the lowest level of the 14th c. cellar walls of the rich merchants’ businesses relics of wooden foundations of the earliest buildings dated by pottery to the 2nd half of 13th c. They must have been dug directly into the natural layer or had had cellar. Vaulted cellars built of brick and stone repeated the system of the older timber structures. Relics of medieval walls were identified within the 19th and 20th century walls of the building at the level of cellars, ground floor and first floor. Other findings included walls which divided the cramped cellar space into separate areas, pillars, and relics of 15th and 16th c. timber undercrofts dug into the ground. An unexpected find for the architects was a 14th c. stone portal between two chambers which suggests very early stage of joining chambers together in a period when they should have been functioning as separate commercial facilities. Analysis of the detailed drawn documentation and measurements, archival photographs and iconography available on the medieval commercial facilities made it possible to identify the architectonic features unearthed during fieldwork and a provisional reconstruction of the row of rich merchants’ business premises in the Market Square in Wrocław.

In this article the author presents the outcome of the first ‘qualitative’ stage of the project ‘Old Age in Space: Regeneration, Gentrification and Social Exclusion as New Issues of Environmental Gerontology’. She responds to research questions on how seniors residing in urban centres interpret the town environment, contemporary urban processes, ageing and old age, and how they maintain control over their situation given their state of health, physical performance, financial resources, and the specific spatial resources of urban neighbourhoods (personal strategies). In the article the author briefly sums up the theoretical starting points of the issue, describes the focus and methodology of the research project, and presents the research’s findings on changes to urban space, population structure, local social networks and seniors’ attachment-to-place. In the conclusion the author highlights the importance of research on old age or the elderly and on the urban environment being open and free of ageist and anti-urbanist tendencies, and she outlines directions of further study in gerontosociology and urban sociology.

The article summarizes the results from the archaeological excavations in the town of high middle ages in central and eastern Bohemia. The group of excavated towns includes the important settlement agglomerations of early middle ages changed during high middle ages into royal towns (Čáslav and Chrudim) and the newly located royal towns (Polička and Skuteč) and the bishop’s town (Český Brod) and mining town (Kutná Hora) and small market-towns (Hrochův Týnec and Luže). The new pieces of knowledge about town fortifications and about the form and development of town houses and about everyday life were collected during rescue excavations made in last twenty years.
