The scattered settlement landscape is a specific type of cultural landscape with a relatively low degree of transformation of the original natural landscape. Herein, we present reflections on the concept of cultural landscape in general and the specifics of a scattered settlement cultural landscape. Further, we use the example of the natural background and the cultural and political context of the Hrušov village to analyse the development of a cultural landscape with a large system of scattered settlements. Unlike most other scattered settlements inhabited by immigrants, the Hrušov scattered settlement was colonised by original local people. Analysis at this locality shows that they occur more frequently on less dissected plains despite their greater distance from the centre. The morphology of the terrain also determines the shape and character of the road network in these settlements, and their presence for long distances along roads influences the number and character of morpholog...

A re-catholization of Ung county was inextricably linked to Jesuit mission in a particular region. The arrival of Jesuit to the Ung county was connected to an effort of the Drugeths to re-catholicize as well as to the history of education in that region. Our attention was focused on relations with Jesuit arrival to Uzhgorod and onto their mission in that region as well as other localities where they operated. Since the history of the Drugeths´ residency is primarily connected to a residency in Humenne, based on this we mapped the relation between Humenné residency and Ung county. In the conclusion we add information about the erigation of Uzhgorod´s college. We finish the whole study with the transcript of the document about the erigation of the college in Uzhgorod, which is a clear proof that the college was not transferred from Humenne but it was a newly opened school. Key words: Ung county, Jesuits, Recatholization, the Drugeths, Uzhgorod.
