Summary/Abstract: New technologies, modern technique on rural terrains, transformations in landscape of villages and suburban grounds is observed all over the country. They are also connected with transformation of agricultural areas. The aim of present elaboration was to pay attention on changes in landscape of rural and suburban area, caused by social-domestic relation changes (transformation of former possessions of a state farm) as well as introduction of large-surface cultivations (between other things the energetic willows), and also utilization of modern machines and equipment in agricultural production (e.g. combine harvesters, straw baling presses) and in outside agricultural production (e.g. briquetting machines, branch crushers and all that). Majority of state-owned agricultural farms together with market economy became insolvent and their property has been adopted by Agricultural Property Agency of Treasury, labor partnerships or sold to individual farmers. At this moment of time we observe the landscape consequences of these transformations. New technologies, modern technique, new large-surface cultivations not always have an advantageous effect on rural landscape. It lost its hitherto existing character. We should take care for correct forming of area for man needs also with ideas for the benefit of future generations.
