Changes of spatial systems Józefiński colonies in the district Nowosądecki

Abstract

The article discusses the changes in the spatial arrangements of the Josephine colonies in the Nowy Sącz District. In the first part of the article, apart from the initial stages of the formation of the Josephine colonies, their evolution up to 1945 was also analyzed. The author distinguished two forms of Josephine colonies: short street colonies and a street and square layout. The next part presents the current state of the colony?s spatial systems. The achievement of the goal was achieved by undertaking a query of archival sources in the form of historical documents and cartographic materials. The basic cartographic source used in the analysis of old rural systems was the Galician cadastre. In research on the present day, the available map was used and a field inventory was made.
