| description | Toponyms are that particular layer in landscape which reflects the link between physical space and human perception, understanding and interpretation of this space. Experts from numerous fields are engaged in researching toponyms. Nevertheless, the relation between toponyms and the spaces they describe still remains relatively unresearched.
Among all the toponyms, field names are those that describe (cultural) landscape in most detail. They have evolved as a kind of side product of physical rearrangement of land for agricultural production purposes. The paper analyses field names in the selected area to establish the relation between field names and physical spaces they describe, and whether and in what way they can be used in planning and management of contemporary landscapes. |
