correlation with natural population increase (
r
0.580) and indirectly to the ratio of
natives and migration turnover (
r
-0.558). This medium-close bond can be inter-
preted to mean that areas with more post-productive inhabitants tend to be more
labile in terms of migration. This is confirmed by the new migration trends show-
ing increased migration in older populations, in particular due to the quality of the
environment.

3.4 Environmental Stress Accounting and Landscape Studies:
Evaluation and Prospects
The development of the relationship between man and the landscape may be clas-
sified in general terms into different historical periods (Agnew, Livingstone, &
Rogers, 1996; Hampl, 1998). In the pre-industrial period, the settlement struc-
ture and economic activities were shaped predominantly by natural determinants.
Employment in the primary sector was dominant (agriculture in the lowlands, metal
ore mining and forestry in the mountainous areas) and the dynamics of development
