Changes of landscape structure and cultural values of vineyard landscape

Abstract

VEREŠOVÁ MARTINA, SUPUKA JÁN: Changes of landscape structure and cultural values of vineyard landscape. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 5, pp. 1459-1470 The aim of this paper is to assess the structural changes development of vineyard type of cultural agriculture landscape in Čajkov cadastre. In landscape space out of built up rural settlement Čajkov the vineyards create a specifi c landscape segment which covers 6% of the whole cadastre area. Two time development periods are compared, i.e. 1896s and 2010s, or 2011s with emphasis to land use form changes and area size changes of vineyard parcels. The result shows that vineyards represent more than 100 hundred years continuity of historical valuable cultural landscape which was not infl uenced by agricultural collectivisation processes within the second part of the 20th century. The second part of the paper is aimed to assess cultural value of the vineyards by using 9 diff erent criteria such as: age of vineyards, area plots and mosaic structures, archaic vine technology, anthropogenic relief, old vineyard's buildings and sacral architectural elements, old large and rare fruit trees, traditional and local vine sorts, archaeological locality and fi nds. Assessed vineyards landscape of Čajkov cadastre is unique, has well preserved historical continuity in landscape structure and a high cultural and historic value. vinicultural landscape, structural changes, cultural values

Map Analysis of Cultural Heritage Values in Designed Landscapes: A Case Study on Červený Hrádek, Czech Republic

“…Many papers have addressed the topic of the cultural landscape and its values, while focusing on the rural landscape (Agnoletti, 2014;Stejskalová et al, 2013;Skaloš et al, 2012;Verešová and Supuka, 2013;Sklenička et al, 2009;Capelo et al, 2011;Kučera et al, 2015) or the industrial landscape (Chrastina and Lukáč, 2012 Kulišťáková et al (2014) and Kulišťáková (2013). The usefulness of these methods was demonstrated by landscape studies in Roztěž (Flekalová and Kulišťáková, 2014) and Nové Zámky (Kulišťáková and Sedláček, 2013).…”

“…Many approaches to the identifi cation of valuable cultural landscapes have been developed according to the character of the studied landscape. Stable landscape structures have been assessed as valuable (Verešová, Supuka, 2013;Sklenička et al, 2009). Landscape transects have been used to identify valuable cultural landscapes in Slovakia Chrastina, Lukáč, 2012).…”

Small Sacral Christian Architecture in the Cultural Landscapes of Europe

“…Small religious monuments and structures occur in diverse spatial settings -in open and built-up/in rural and urban/in everyday and exceptional landscapes (Tóth and Verešová, 2018). In the open landscape they were placed at significant points: at crossroads, at municipal borders and field boundaries (Türk, 1979), at the edges of villages and towns, on small hills, in vineyards, forests and at boundaries of arable fields or family farms (Creutz, 2005;Verešová and Supuka, 2013). Some monuments located on or at family farms in rural landscapes were originally gravestones in cemeteries that were later moved to the property (Türk, 1979).…”

Enhancing the Rural Landscape Character: The Low Frequency of Inter-Row Wildflower Meadow Harvest Positively Affects Biodiversity While Maintaining Grape Quantitative and Qualitative Traits in a ‘Sultanina’ Vineyard in Greece

“…Under the threat of climate change and the fact that high-quality wines are generally associated with optimum climatic conditions, the preservation of traditional vine cultivars welladapted to environmental stresses is crucial for future generations [14]. Features of cultural, historical, and aesthetic value are associated with vineyards [15]. The presence of vineyards is aesthetically pleasing and often represents a feature of the rural landscape, and a source of inspiration for travelers, painters, and writers [16][17][18][19].…”
