Peasant, Peasant's House and Village in Slovenia

Sažetak
The author of this article pleads for more complex analysis of the negative consequences of the process of deagrarization of rural regions. It is not a mere question of abandonment of peasants’ holdings, feminization of labour power in agriculture and depopulation of some regions. The consequences are much deeper, the author thinks. »I assert that todate our first task is to maintain the countryside
alive«, says the author. Many regions are just about to be devastated and there is a real danger of leaving the solely to the spontaneity of nature. The value of countryside is not only in its potentials for agricultural production, because time is ahead when only that land will be cultivated which will be economically justified providing that income substantially not lower than income in industry and elsewhere will be gained. There are other values of the countryside such as touristic-recreative and cultural-historical ones. Particular attention is given to the analysis of those latter ones and in that respect the architectural and urbanization problems of Slovenian villages are considered. As
a starting point of this consideration the division of Slovenian countryside into four types is taken: 1. remote mountainous villages, 2. hilly regions within the wider gravitational zones of larger industrial centers, 3. flat regions within the wider gravitational zones of larger industrial centers and 4. unorganized, »wild« settlements within the towns’ fringes. In every one of these four types of Slovenian countryside the author analyses the present architectural and urbanization problems. He particularly stresses the new elements penetrated into the countriyside by the process of industrialization and urbanization, e. g. rapid process of deagrarization disturbed the harmony of rural architecture with natural surroundings.
»If we want to bring into the changing countryside something of that wholenesswhich gives to the untouched nature, in spite of the diversity of its elements, the appearance of harmony, we have to look for it in the wholeness of the component parts of the visual impression that countryside provokes in us. On the first place there is a harmonious light of objects and their surroundings, then the harmonious size especially in outlines, and only then as a third element the harmonious colour«, concludes the author.
