Transformation of character of village in Eastern Sudety Mountains

key words: transformation of regional culture, form of village, sustainable structure functional of village

Summary:

The issue is the level and type of divergence between its initial form, found by settling population in years 1945-1947, and temporary form of Eastern Sudety countryside. Analyzes show that the whole non-material sphere of cultural envi-ronment has disappeared and the former identity was something new, unknown, for the population with different ethnic background. If it had existed, the degree of population and place cohesion was minimal. There were some, but impoverished bases to create new reality. If we take into consideration the lack of coordination in resources - challenge interaction, additionally with the pressure of external factors, the final effect is the weakening or even disappearance of initial potential. In real it means liquidation of some villages and when the threshold of structures balance is crossed - the domination of foreign objects with shapes not fitted to the local architecture style. The process creates an unknown pattern with hard to
define new identity.
