In this article we analyse the human-environment relationships in geographical research from the end of the 19 th to the beginning of the 21 st century. We highlight paradigms, which aff ected our way of thinking about man-environment relations. Discussing scientifi c approaches and paradigms in geography the leading scientists who had infl uential thoughts and helped the shaping of a paradigm will also be mentioned. The research on human-environment relations has appeared in geography from time to time, but the connecting paradigms had also diff erent stories through time and space. Undoubtedly, the nowadays reviving determinism had the greatest infl uence, but possibilism has also had a signifi cant impact on our discipline. Research on human-environment relationships reappeared in a new form through the discourse on global climate change. Postmodern, poststructuralist, and postcolonial approaches changed radically the basis of human-environment research. In this paper, we argue that geography needs to renew not only its philosophical basis and theoretical context, but the connections between the two subdisciplines of geography (i.e. between physical and human geography) must be refreshed too.

“…One of the basic questions in geography is to what extent are the social parameters influenced by environmental settings (e.g. Harden 2012). Although formerly and occasionally even now, extreme views are articulated in connection with this question (e.g.…”

“…in Kőszegi et al 2015). The American geographer, Sauer C. emphasized that human behaviour is not dependent solely on environmental constrains and by rejecting positivism he favoured the study of small territorial units, what he called "cultural landscapes", expressing that they are the results of the joint influence of culture and nature (Harden 2012). On the contrary, today's research focus rather on global issues and up-to-date GIS-methodology opens up new opportunities to examine human-environment relationships in quantitative terms.…”

IzvlečekUDK 911.5:551.435.8(439+437.6) Tamás Telbisz, Zsolt Bottlik, László Mari & Alena Petrvalská: Raziskovanje odnosov med kraško pokrajino in socialnimi funkcijami: Primer kraškega območja Gömör-Torna (Madžarska-Slovaška) Odnosi med človekom in okoljem imajo v primeru kraških okolij nekatere posebne značilnosti. Ta so običajno manj gosto naseljena predvsem zaradi hidroloških, topografskih in pedoloških posebnosti. Vendar pa je vpliv naravnih dejavnikov kraških pokrajin na družbeno-gospodarski razvoj redko proučevan, vplivi pa so običajno pojasnjeni v kvalitativnem smislu. Zato je cilj tega prispevka kot sodobnega pristopa znotraj geografskega posibilizma raziskati neposreden in posreden količinski vpliv obravnavanega naravnega okolja na družbeno-gospodarski razvoj z uporabo-GIS orodij in statističnih metod. Študija je bila opravljena na primeru kraškega območja Gömör-Torna (na Madžarskem znan kot kras Aggteleka oziroma na Slovaškem kot Slovaški kras). Razmerja med naravnimi dejavniki (nadmorska višina, naklon, relativna višina, oddaljenost od pomembnih rek) in pokrovnostjo tal, kot tudi med naravnimi dejavniki in socialnimi podatki (gostota prebivalstva, gostota poselitve, povprečno število prebivalcev v naselju, spremembe prebivalstva, gostota cestnega omrežja) smo proučevali z regresijsko analizo. želeli smo ugotoviti, kako močno zgoraj navedeni naravni dejavniki vplivajo na socialne parametre. V nekaterih primerih (pokrovnost tal, cestno omrežje) je naklon najboljši pokazatelj, medtem ko v Human-environment relations have some special characteristics on karst terrains, and karstlands are usually less densely inhabited areas principally due to hydrologic, topographic and pedologic reasons. However, the natural factors of karst terrains and socio-economic development are rarely discussed together, and the relationships are usually expressed in qualitative terms. Therefore the aim of this paper is to explore the direct and indirect quantitative impact of natural settings on socio-economic development of karst terrains using GISaided, statistical methods as a modern approach within geographic possibilism by the case study of Gömör-Torna Karst (whose Hungarian part is known as Aggtelek Karst, while the Slovakian part as Slovak Karst). Relationships between natural factors (elevation, slope, relative height, distance from significant rivers) and land cover as well as between natural factors and social data (population density, settlement density, mean settlement population, population change, road network density) have been studied by regression analysis in order to determine how strongly these social parameters are influenced by the above natural factors. In certain cases (land cover categories, road network) slope is the best estimator, while in other cases (population density, longterm population change), the ACTA CARSOLOGICA 44/1-2015 122 TAMÁS TELBISZ, ZSOLT BOTTLIK, LÁSZLÓ MARI & ALENA PETRVALSKÁ distance from significant river provides the best correlation. Many karstlands are depopulating and ageing are...
