摘要:Monuments enhance the cultural and historical significance of Slovakia because their high cultural value provides precious proof of our history. These monuments form research subjects for experts from different spheres; especially landscape ecologists. This paper therefore presents an example of landscape-ecological assessment of environmental quality in Trnava district rural settlements. The environmental quality is positively influenced by the presence of cultural monuments, and this quality is assessed by combined methods of positive socio-economic phenomena in nature conservation, natural resources, cultural-historical resources and the environment. The sociological survey conducted via questionnaires addressed to mayors of rural settlements forms part of this assessment, and this paper contains replies where respondents present their opinions on cultural monuments associated with local environmental quality.
