Abstract:

Pluzinas are medieval field patterns with distinct features that separate them from thewell-known bocage landscape in other parts of Europe. This field system consists of anumber of individual fields; long parallel plots with a minimum of transversal hedgerowsbelonging to a single village. Although, a few structural attributes have frequently beenpreserved, the hedgerow network was massively reduced in the 20th century and morerecent due to modern and big scale agriculture and the expansion of built up areas.This study, focuses in the study of ecological attributes of resilient pluzinas in theHradec Kralove region of the Czech Republic.The findings confirm that even when the trends vary greatly from area to area; the landuse and planning measures are the most important factors in the preservation ofpluzinas. While cropland tends to lead to a reduction of the pattern, grassland is morelikely to preserved integrity and rhythm of pluzinas. In conclusion, the findings haveconfirmed that there still remained valuable field patterns that because of its ecological,cultural and historical values have all the potential to be restored and protected undercrucial land-use policies.
