MORPHOGENESIS AND CHANGES IN THE LAYOUT OF VILLAGES IN THE CONTEXT OF SETTLEMENT DEVELOPMENT IN THE WESTERN PART OF SZADEK MUNICIPALITY

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents results of geographical and historical research on morphogenesis and changes in spatial structures of villages in the western part of Szadek municipality. 32 villages west of the river Pichna have been examined. The research was based on historical cartographic sources, including topographic maps and archival plans of these settlements. A comparative analysis of these materials, from a dynamic perspective, made possible the reconstruction of the initial spatial structures and their subsequent transformations. The origins and processes of evolution of rural structures are discussed in the context of development of settlement in this area, based on source documents from the Middle Ages up to the 20th century.
