| Description | The change in the political situation in former Czechoslovakia in the late 1980s affected all areas of the life of the society in a radical manner. The socialist village too became a thing of the past, local government was re-established (Act 367/1990 Coll.), unified farm cooperatives, which were transformed into owners farm cooperatives, in addition, individual farming appears. Nevertheless mass return to private farming and to the formation of Western-European-type family farms did not occur: on the contrary, the number of people employed in the agricultural sector decreased due to targeted state policies as well as bankruptcies of cooperatives, which were, without state financial support and subsidies, destroyed by market-oriented economy. In private sector a group of organic farmers appeared, concentrating on the production of ecological foodstuffs and healthy food products, agritourism is formed as a novelty, linking economic and tourist activities. As a consequence of discontinuous development caused by the political situation following the Second World War, many phenomena of material culture and traditional technologies based on manual work had ceased to exist, and a profound change of the structure of village society and its social life had taken place. |
