Gesellschaftliche Transformationsprozesse manifestieren sich sowohl in physischen Räumen als auch der sozialen Konstruktion von Landschaften. Mit dem Wechsel vom sozialistisch-modernen zum postmodernen Gesellschaftssystem gestalten sich die Transformationsprozesse in Ostmittel- und Osteuropa besonders deutlich.
