“…Sometimes settlements also disappear as a result of population movements due to ethnic, religious or environmental migrations. This category includes the disappearance of settlements from the territory of the present-day Czech Republic, Poland and several other countries [8,9]. Similar experiences can also be found in Poland [10,11] and Slovenia [12].…”

During the second half of the 20th century, a number of settlements disappeared for various reasons, especially in the hilly landscapes of northern Moravia and in the Czech part of Silesia. Currently, in the relevant localities, it is possible to identify preserved original landscape structures (scattered greenery, water elements, original woody plants, terraces, etc.) and other historical landscape elements with heritage potential. The typical elements of the above-mentioned localities of abandoned settlements are agrarian stone walls that document previous agricultural land use. These structures are generally located outside the original building plots on the edges of previously farmed land. Another important historical element is the unused access roads to arable land, which are still visible in lidar pictures. Numerous elements of the extinct settlements also include the remains of building materials and local quarries of building stone. This paper presents and classifies the historical landscape elements and their typology and proposes a methodology for identification and documentation.

“…However, the greatest attention was paid to the border, which was occupied by the German Empire after the Munich Agreement and was where several problems accumulated. The expulsion of the majority of the German population after the Second World War and its replacement by Slavic immigrants is significant, which meant the interruption of centuries of development of localities and the arrival of inhabitants who had no previous experience with this type of territory [23]. Another problem is the sharp post-war decline in population, which, together with military measures at the state border, led to the demise of plenty of settlements.…”

This article analyzes the question of how the change of geopolitical position in the rural region of Eastern Moravia, which was shifted from the center of the state on its border, is reflected. The paper shows how the originally marginal region transformed from an area with shepherd agriculture to an industrial area with a skilled workforce during the existence of Czechoslovakia and questions how to cope with the consequences of the reverse change into a marginal geopolitical position on the eastern border of Czechia. The paper considers the balance of migration, supplemented by the construction of new dwellings, to be a relatively complex indicator. It states that the region of Eastern Moravia is problematic in terms of further development, except for the northern part, which is affected by the suburbanization of Ostrava. As a result, it proposes to supplement the current orientation toward the manufacturing industry by creating conditions for the development of cultural tourism.

“…In modern history, such "resettlement" of the territory occurred after World War II. It was the inhabitants of Slovakia who settled the displaced areas of the Czech border in Czechoslovakia after the displaced inhabitants to Germany (Vaishar, Nosková, Nováková, 2019;Vaishar, Dvořák, Nosková, Zapletalová, 2017).…”

In this paper we will focus on one of the five areas of dispersed settlement in Slovakia – Novobanská štálová area and the forecast of its development on the example of selected characteristics (household income and its use, population). The analysis of historical development by using historical maps can relatively and accurately locate areas with permanently low intensity of use and areas that have fulfilled a stabilizing function in the cultural landscape throughout the observed development. At the same time, based on the analysis of the historical development of settlements, we can interpret the trend of the development of land use in the future. The originality of this type of landscape with a dispersed type of settlement also in the sense of the European Landscape Convention lies in its limited occurrence. Besides Slovakia, it occurs only in the Czechia and especially on the Czech-Slovak border. The analysis of demographic characteristics of selected municipalities also indicates qualitative and quantitative changes leading to the gradual extinction of the territory. The presented area as a part of small dispersed settlement has some unique cultural, historical and natural values, which are a reflection of human life and activities in difficult mountain conditions.
