The transformation of Cankova settlement

Diplomsko delo prikazuje geografsko podobo naselja Cankova s poudarkom na agrarnem obdobju naselja v petdesetih letih in sedanji urbani podobi naselja. Namen naloge je predstaviti transformacijo Cankove iz agrarnega v (semi)urbano naselje. Pri izdelavi diplomskega dela so bili uporabljeni različni viri in literatura, obdelani statistični podatki ter podatki, dobljeni na terenu. Naselje Cankova leži na jugozahodnem robu Goričkega in je nazoren primer preobrazbe podeželja. Na položaj in prostorski razvoj Cankove je v preteklosti odločilno vplival hidrološki dejavnik, v novejšem času pa se je pomen naravnih dejavnikov močno zmanjšal. V diplomskem delu je obravnavana morfološka, funkcijska in socialna transformacija naselja. Pri tem je bilo ugotovljeno, da se je naselje v petdesetih letih prostorsko razširilo na nekdanja kmetijska in poplavna zemljišča ter vse bolj poenotilo zaradi sodobnih stanovanjskih zgradb, ki so nadomestile avtohtone panonske hišeštevilo dejavnosti se je povečalo, agrarne funkcije so izgubile pomen na račun urbanihpovečalo pa se je tudi število prebivalcev naselja ter izboljšala izobrazbena sestava.In my diploma I am presenting geographical image of settlement Cankova with emphasis on agricultural period of settlement in fifty´s and present urban image. The main goal is to introduce transformation of Cankova from agricultural to semi-urban settlement. A diploma contains different sources and literature, statistical data and data, gained durring fieldwork. Cankova lies on the south-western border of Goričko hills and is a tipical expamle of a country transformation. The most important factor of a social and spatial development of Cankova was hydrological, however the impact of natural factors today has been reduced. The diploma presents physical, functional and social transformation of the village Cankova. It has been discovered, that in the last fifty years the village has expanded in former agricultural and inundation areas and has become more visually uniformed because of contemporary buildings, which have replaced autochthonous Panonian houses. The number of activities in the village has grown, agricultural functions were replaced by urban functions and the population number has increased
