Structural Transformation of Farms on the Example of Spiska Village

The paper presents historical aspect of structural changes of farms. The research has been carried out on the example of Spiska village. It has been considered in the context of regional results of similar investigations. The analysis suggests the problem should be seen via conditions determined by the law system.  Information concerning the initial stage of the economic development of the village indicate that in the past there were no reasons for precise detennination of the size and structure of farms. These features were considered to be less important.  Therefore these transformations described by numbers should be treated with special caution. They are more of quality nature than quantitative features. The conclusion follows that one depend upon the results in showing the general tendencies rather than detailed solutions based on the data impossible to verify.
