ABSTRACT

Differences in the residents’ and non-residents’ visual perception were observed in a recent investigation (Sklenicka & Molnarova 2010) aimed at comparing the respondents’ judgment with reference to different habitats adopted for post-mining reclamation. The investigation proved that older people who live in post mining-areas prefer habitats with evidences of productive functions while younger and more educated respondents who live outside the post-mining areas prefer habitats with ecological, aesthetic and recreational characters.
