Development of cultural landscape in town of Bojnice, Slovakia, Central Europe

Abstract

Landscape as a complex entity is currently of interest to a growing range of scientific disciplines. However, the research of landscape in cultural studies is still considered a new phenomenon. Only minimal attention is paid to these issues in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The method of creating transects of cultural landscape layers and their subsequent multitemporal analysis belongs to the most recent possibilities in research. The aim of the paper is to highlight certain positive aspects of the particular method and to outline opportunities for applying the knowledge in the field of cultural studies in the context of historical development.
