transformation of landscape

The dynamics of human-induced transformations of landscape in the sub-mountainous /Podgórze/ region on the example of metropolitan areas in south-east Poland

Anthropogenic impact as one of the factors influencing transformations of the current spatial structure is a feature characterizing the post-urbanization and globalization period. Two urban centres of interregional – national character have been selected for the purposes of the presented analysis and research, both of them situated in the area of the Sub-mountainous /Podgórze/ Region together with their neighbouring areas marked out by the conventional limits of the metropolitan centres.
