A települési-gazdálkodási tér sajátosságai a Marosszögben az integrált környezetátalakító munkálatok előtt

Absztrakt

Marosszög is an independent region in a socio-economic sense, the northwestern gate of the Temes Banat, whose characteristics and resources, the natural and human resources available to society – which change over time – and the utilization of all of them have been analysed, evaluated and summarized in this study by presenting the status quo before the start of the integrated environmental transformation. I was able to reconstruct past conditions and the specific features of contemporary conditions partly from 18th-19th century manuscript maps (e.g. the Josephine survey, the map sections of the second and third military surveys, etc.), partly from various archival sources (e.g. the documents of the Banat Urbarium settlement, the documents of the Landes Administration, etc.), from geographical descriptions, by analysing old manuscript and printed maps and statistical data. The differentiation of the Marosszög landscape use, which regenerated after the Peace of Pozsarevac (1718), is not only related to geofactors, but also to the culture and tradition of the Hungarian, Serbian, German, Romanian and other ethnic groups living in the landscape. Accordingly, the results of the cultural landscape-creating work that began with the population and economic takeover of the landscape can be evaluated as the joint creation and historical heritage of the peoples living together.
