This contribution deals with an analysis of secondary landscape structures (SLS) in dispersed rural settlements lying on the slopes of the Polana mountain. The main objectives of the research are 1) to map these SLS and the negative changes and secondary natural succession which have occurred; and, 2) to assess the reasons for these changes. The Protected Landscape Area (PLA) was created not only to protect ecosystems but also to protect landscape and specific historical forms of settlement. Structural decline, due either to under-development, or structural change, due to inappropriate extensive development (contrary to the main goals of PLA designation), can be considered as being negative. In this contribution, the exact figures of landscape categories of selected parts of the Polana PLA are presented along with possible reasons for the changes. Secondary succession not only poses a threat to sensitive protected flora, but may also present a barrier to the development of rural tourism (in the settlement)
