Traditionally, a rural area has been associated with farming agricultural production, which in the course of centuries resulted in various forms of space management. An important element in the urbanized landscape is a farm surrounded by green area and in an open landscape – cultivable fields and their relations with a rural settlement. Advancing urbanization of a village changes its landscape and often loses its individual character due to unified architecture and, first of all, it limits the possibilities of appropriate farm functioning. Most frequently, a new building-up covers already existing urbanized areas including individual farmers’ allotments. This situation leads also to considerable difficulties in farm functioning, as well as to inconveniences regarding communication between the farms and their owned areas. Therefore, there is a need to aim at creating the feeling of identity with native tradition and its values, which is strictly connected with farmers’ awareness of belonging to local communities and identification with the surrounding space through forming rural cultural environment and, especially, its space value, providing a proper place for farms.
