Impact of disparities in settlement and population development on cultural landscape

The paper is focused on the selected problems of the cultural landscape in the attractive hinterland of Bratislava, in the region under the slopes of the Little Carpathian Mountains. The principal turn in the migration balance of the largest cities is one of the most typical traits of the change that has manifested in the spatial movement of population after 1990. Bratislava, with the concentration of almost all basic human activities in the area, has become much lower in density due to intensive migration. This change is due to suburbanisation and deconcentration of the regional population. The building of large concentrations of new residential areas in the hinterland, is in many cases, in contradiction with values of traditional cultural landscape. The quoted example would be adjust to historical vineyards.
