TRANSFORMÁCIA VIDIECKEJ KRAJINY NA SLOVENSKU
TRANSFORMATION OF RURAL LANDSCAPE IN SLOVAKIA
Abstract:
The article deals with the development of the countryside from the Second World War to the pre-sent. In detail, we analyze the individual development phases in decades and point to the changes in the countryside that have emerged as a result of socio-political changes. In this paper, we are mainly concerned with changing the role of the countryside, when agricultural function is gradually being pushed out by other non-productive functions, and also due to the countryside that has changed un-der the influence of agriculture and the increase or decrease in the popularity of rural life. The aim of the contribution is therefore to clearly and schematically assess the development of the coun-tryside (rural space) in Slovakia.
