Current use of layers of settlements in the north bohemian border region
Roeselová, Sára
The paper examines the layering of urban structures of municipalities in the North Bohemian border region, specifically in the Šluknov area. It does so by uncovering historical traces of settlement and analyzing the changing relationship between landscape, settlements and form of habitation. In the originally agricultural linear villages, there was a significant transformation towards artisan livelihoods. This severed the direct connection of many residents to the local land and gave rise to a second, internal layer of settlement. As a result of the post-war displacement and collectivization of agriculture, the primary linear structure disappeared and today a newer, completely different, craft-based urban form prevails here. It is this second wave of settlement in the form of a dense organic network of parcels in the floodplains of meandering streams, which forms the backbone of all the researched settlements, that domitanes the character of contemporary urban areas. The development specifics of these settlements set in a culturally rich landscape are a value in themselves. The same is true of historical traces of settlement, which are a rare piece of continuity spanning the destructive period of the second half of the 20th century. The aim of the research is to create a model of systematic interpretation of historical rural structures, which would enable municipalities to adapt to contemporary demands for life in the rural settlements of this region. The task is therefore to analyze the two main waves of settlement and their preserved traces and to find a way to connect these apparently disparate structures and thus support integrated residential development.

Guidebook of the Šluknov area(Böhmisches Niederland)
ZAHRÁDKOVÁ, Hana
This piece of work is concepted as a guidebook of the Šluknov area which shows the very north headland of the Czech Republic. This area is located in the north part of the Děčín region between the Labské sandstones area and the Lužické heights. This area near the German border had been populated mainly by the German-speaking people until 1945 and it was also a part of the Sudety land. In this piece of work there is mentioned a brief historical overview of this area whose most unsettled times relate to the first half of the 20th century. The whole area is characteristic of its mutual influences of the czech, german and serbian elements. Natural centres of this area are towns Šluknov, Rumburk and Varnsdorf which are introduced in this work, too. The whole area represents a touristic potential which still waits for its utilization. This piece of work, which should have a practical orientation first of all, might contribute to the presentation of the area and might be finally used as the guidebook Besides the above mentioned topics the work presents both the former and current economy braches represented in this area and the current and intended utilization for the tourism (hiking, biking, combinations of a stay in the Czech Republic and in Germany, etc.). The work is also supplemented by legends and personalities whose names are associated with this area.
