摘要：The article is a reflection on the natural bases of the forming of city landscape. The paper is theoretical and empirical in character. It is based on the analysis of the landscape of six Polish cities, from various regions. Olsztyn and Białystok represent the Polish Lowland; Lublin and Kielce - the uplands; Przemyśl and Tarnów are cities on the borderline of the piedmont basins and the mountains. The cities are relatively vast, of extensive history, therefore the analysis of their development, both in time and space, was possible. As a part of the research on the cultural landscape, the following elements have been analysed: location of the cities, their function-andspace structure, and chosen features of their physiognomy. Determined was the importance of two fundamental elements of the natural environment: the surface features and the drainage network in the forming of each of the above mentioned aspects of city landscape.
The results of the research indicate that the influence of those elements of the environment on the cultural landscape of the city is continuous, with more critical role of hydrographic elements. The rivers, with their valleys, were both the main factor of the cities location, and determined the space management. The overall surface features were much lesser hindrance for the spatial development of the city, and determined to a lesser degree the function of a given area. Yet, they affect to a considerable degree the space aesthetics, the atmosphere of places and the forming of the landscape dominants.
The paper constitutes a fragment of a bigger research problem, that is the impact of natural factors on the cultural landscape of the city. It merely signals certain aspects of the subject, at the same time pointing to the necessity of more detailed analyses in the area.
