Changes in the rural space in suburban areas

Rural areas are respected, important, particular and structured component of the European Union. The aim of our contribution is to analyze the changes in rural space within city regions after 1990, especially the changes in agriculture, landscape a society. The development of these close related shifts bear relation to economical and social development of each urban centre. The interaction between the urban centre and its surrounding rural area is influenced among others by its centrality. The issues occurred in suburbs differ from those in traditional rural areas (depopulation, ageing of population, unemployment etc)
