The toponymic politics of (re)naming the streets and other elements of the urban landscape has been a valuable tool for the political regimes to legitimate their symbolic power. This paper aims to analyze the relationships between the political power, the toponymic practices, and the symbolic landscapes on the example of the eclectic topo-nymic space of the city of Minsk, Belarus, from a semiotic perspective through the prism of the critical place names studies approach and the theoretical concept of toponymic identi-ty. Using cartographic and archival research, on-site urban observations as well as com-parative analysis, the in-depth case study reveals that the toponymic system of the Belarus-ian capital city consists of several elements which connect to an assortment of the symbolic spatial strategies of nation-building adopted by the governing authorities. The findings indicate that the urban toponymic landscape and the toponymic identities of the city of Minsk are symbolically motivated, and the heterogeneity of the contemporary urban topo-nymic system reflects actual political agendas of the past and current political regimes.","PeriodicalId":42446,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Cassoviensis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70423095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study anal-yses the issue of the revitalisation of the landscape in the context of its use (historical land use). Current state of the local landscape represents the result of the migration of ethnic groups to the territory of Tardoš and its subsequent colonisation. Since the end of the first quarter of the 18th century the process of revitalisation of the abandoned landscape had been associated with the arrival of the Roman Catholic settlers from the counties located north of the Danube river (Nitra and Trenčín). The new population began to cultivate dev-astated landscape of the Tardoš-Tolna basin in the Gerecse Mountains. The aim of this paper is to characterize the Tardoš land use with an emphasis on the period from 1725 (Slovak colonisation of the defunct village territory) to 2017. A brief assessment of the land use during the period before the arrival of the Slovak colonists is included in the study. Recent changes of areas in the analysed territory are characterized by landscape use clas-ses (LUC) during the last 300 years (1725 ‒ 2017) in the context of natural (geoecological) and social factors. Besides these data a framework proposal for the management of the local landscape is suggested. The development of the historical land use after the arrival of the Slovaks is outlined in the thematic maps, chart with LUC areas in particular periods and in diagram. The methodology used and the results achieved can be applied in the study of the land use of other Slovak enclaves in Tardoš surroundings. Findings concerning the local land use changes with an emphasis on the period after 1725 can be possibly taken into account in social practice of the creation of an integrated landscape management of the surveyed territory or in the process of consolidating the local population identity.","PeriodicalId":42446,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Cassoviensis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70423197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the presence of cancers, we can find geographical differences i.e. the cancer of different organs has a different frequency of occurrence in different parts of Slovakia. It may be agreed that the fight against cancers, if it is to be complex, must include a spatial aspect and this is best applied in the field of medical geography. The solution of the development of cancer mortality in Slovakia can be considered a relevant topic of geographic research. Data on cancer mortality at the district level were used from the database of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. The aim of the article is to assess the spatial aspect of cancers in the districts of Slovakia applying the standardized mortality rate. The standardized mortality rate will be analysed in terms of gender structure of population. The time horizon for standardized mortality rate comparison was set for the periods of 2001-2008, 2009-2017 and 2001-2017. From the perspective of the research of this topic it is important to apply specific analytical methods which include, for example, spatial autocorrelation.","PeriodicalId":42446,"journal":{"name":"Geographia Cassoviensis","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70423241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
