Abstract
The results of research follow from new method
designed at the Department of Geography (UJEP) and they document some analogical
development trends and features of social and ecological burden (stress) and their correlation. It
shows higher inertia of ecological subsystem conditioned by persistence of partial components of
the subsystem. The ecological subsystem does not respect many changes and shift in social
subsystem which is due to the existence of several significant macro-regional anthropogenic
influences and impacts which exceed the boundary of model areas. Thus, an important role is
assigned to geographical location of model areas and cross-border political and social effects
influencing both human and natural components of the landscape. Next conclusion to be said is
the correlation between population density and character of changes in social subsystem, while
lower population intensifies the character of these changes
