Historically, an important role informing the Czech cultural landscape was played by the strong middle class of farmers. The period of collectivization which occurred progressively between 1950 and 1989 meant liquidation of the rural community. Whereas in 1950 there were 1,404,225 private farmers, this number had decreased to only 2,000 in 1988. This paper focuses on the problems of stewardship and responsibility towards landscape associated with this social group, which recently has started a new period of growth. The research uses a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods. Dialogues with interviewees have enabled us to interpret stewardship and responsibility into a coherent story about the relationship between people and landscape. Similarities and differences have been related to variables such as farmer's age and length of time in farming. The results show that patterns of stewardship and responsibility are not related to economic variables, but rather to common features of 'timeless' rural culture. |
