Popis: The perception of the landscape has changed in relation to the transformation of the countryside from an agricultural space to a multifunctional space. The aim of this paper focuses on evidence of landscape values in the territory of Podoli u Brna, a suburban village on the fringe of the city of Brno. The main question driving this research is whether it is possible to find important landscape values in a territory undergoing intensive suburbanization and what changes in individual landscape values are caused by the process of suburbanization. Historical maps, documents and aerial photographs were analysed. The results confirmed that an intensively cultivated suburban landscape with transport infrastructure has both historical and contemporary values with six landscape values being identified. It was also confirmed that new technological barriers have originated in such a landscape. The protecting of landscape values is an important factor in creating and maintaining a local identity.
