摘要：Integration processes, heading towards the EU enlargement, lead also to the increase of impacts of settlements on spatial diversity. The integration of associated countries to the EU is a gradual process and spatial planning can significantly contribute to its smooth continuity, primarily to social and environmental sustainability and the related development processes.
