dc.description.abstractAlthough there has been a steady increase in population growth in the last two centuries, scholarly and public discussions express concerns about the decline of population vitality and the loss of cultural diversity in many areas of the world. These demographic processes are associated with various forms of development stagnation well observed in several areas of Europe. The age structure of the population in certain areas is distorted, the opportunities for revitalisation are limited, existing social, well-being and education infrastructure are weakened. In some peripheral regions of Slovakia, we witness a kind of vicious circle, when the area is trapped in a cycle of cumulative causation. Two case studies (Stará Halič, Ľuboreč) and effects of depopulations are shown on the local processes of declining reproductive behaviour, disintegration of kinship relationships, limitations of cooperation and reciprocity, changes and reduction of the cultural transfer of knowledge, stability and innovation. From the perspective of anthropology and historical demography, depopulation has a considerable impact on the sustainability of local cultural diversity in Central Europe. We focused on the vitality of cultural heritage to transmit rural housing lifestyle and ecosystem services that make landscape and local culture sustainable.
