Changes Of Dispersed Settlements In Rural Cultural Landscape From The Strategic Perspective

Anotace: The aim of this paper is to analyse changes of dispersed settlements in rural cultural landscape in municipality Hrušov (in the Krupinská planina plateau, Central Slovakia) with special focus on the development strategies applied in an effort to escape marginality. The area outside the core of the village is the unique dispersed settlement system with some specificities in rural development which are typical for marginal regions of Slovakia with such a type of settlement. The study deals with the development trends of the rural cultural landscape in the years 1950, 1986 and 2016 in the context of landscape changes in Slovakia. Attention is paid to marginality of the studied area, paradoxes and possibilities of its development and to the monitoring of the dispersed settlement developments in the light of local, regional, national and international documents. Diversified activities accomplished by the municipal authority, important local leaders and amenity migrants can serve as worth to follow example of how to restore care for a cultural landscape with dispersed settlements and how to eliminate the negative phenomena associated with the marginality status.
