Abstract:

One of the criteria of agriculture's peripherality is a level of recessive processes, which are related to the individual categories of farms in terms of their production potential. The research has focused on the scale of deagrarianisation and deanimalisation, in conservation areas, which were at the same time peripheral areas in a grographical sense, located in southeastern Poland. Such scale was closely related to the condition and perspectives for farms development. The analyses of the expected development perspectives for farms in selected communes, showed a very high intensity of abandonment of agricultural use in communes of Solina and Cisna, where 80% of farms show declining trends. This may constitute to a significant problem in relation to the protection of landscape in both landscape parks. The spatial abandoning of land use was visible in all communes of the buffer zone of the BNP. This was particularly intensified in the communes located in the western part of the studied area, in Komańcza commune (0,733 DPP). Moreover, deanimalisation process in the research area, similarly to the deagrarianisation, was the most advanced in Komańcza. However, this kind of recessive processes were also very strong in other communes of analysed subregion.
