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.

The exhibition catalogue is one of the important possibilities how make public the facts about historical landscape of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, the preservation of the archaeological monuments, stay of the knowledge and possibilities of their documentation. The good knowledge increases the chances of preservation of unique information’s about our own past in the landscape. Landscape currently is the most significant witness of historical and cultural changes in our country. And as regards the state of preservation of prehistoric archaeological monuments, landscape even is the only witness. One of extraordinary regions in this regard is the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. It always was and still is a peripheral region, which is not really significantly affected by the ongoing destruction of historical cultural landscape. In chapters of the exhibition catalogue are introduced the issues of research. The catalogue of artefacts documenting the material culture for all investigated periods is published at the end.
