| Summary: | In the Hungarian legal system the Act on Nature Conservation contains a peculiar category, the notion
of the unique landscape feature. The unique landscape feature is a natural or man-made object which
represents value for local people. The purpose of this study is on the one hand to familiarize this specific
category, on the other hand to introduce the method of cadastral survey via the example of a small
Hungarian settlement, Vászoly. Vászoly and its surroundings are situated on the south-eastern part of
the Balaton Uplands, a part of the Bakony Region. In spite of the survey, the distribution of the features
among the categories reflects the national tendency, that is, most of the cadastred landscape features in
Vászoly are cultural-historical ones, because these types of features are located mostly within the inner
areas of the settlements, which makes them easier to survey. However, these features are not always really
valuable. It can be stated that most of the features are related to the settlement (mostly features of
sacral traditions) and agricultural production (first of all features of viniculture). Surveying the sets of
the unique landscape features, the changing landscape patterns, the certain landscape characters and the
peculiarities of the landscape explain their origin and former function. |
