Abstract
Landscapes constantly change under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors. They can be destructive
as well as leading to regeneration of landscapes which have been imbalanced. When this process occurs in
a natural or human-controlled manner with the use of natural elements of the environment, it is called renaturalisation,
and the resulting landscape – renaturalised landscape. Where landscape restitution occurs under the purposeful,
sustainable and rational human influence, we talk of the recultivation process and the resulting landscape is termed
recultivated. Examples of both of these terms added to landscape classification have been described based on several
quarries existing within the City of Krakow.
