The transformation of transport and public spaces of the selected rural settlement

The road is natural part of the public spaces in all towns and villages. Public space in an urban zone is used not only for transport by car, but also for other various functions (social, tourist, aesthetic, hygienic, etc.). Therefore, the public spaces must reflect the functional requirements of the surrounding objects and functional areas. The spatial arrangement of local roads and their equipment must be in harmony with the requirements of the settlement-forming space in which they are located. Current occupancy of a public area with individual motorized transport (dynamic, static) largely deteriorates habitability villages. They also devastate the environment for inhabitants. Village Moravske Lieskove is located in Nove Mesto nad Vahom district. Moravske Lieskove does not suffer from transit traffic through the internal space of the village, because it's not located directly on the State road No. 54. Existing third class roads and local roads in internal space of the village are burdened minimal. Internal space of the village can fulfil their traditional role and function. But their character and physical conditional do not correspond to the current requirement for rural public spaces. What should be? They are just country public spaces with peaceful lifestyle of the population? Rural environment with its specificities, for their preservation and development requires a different approach in urban design. The basic difference is the scale of the space, in which we move.
