Abstract

Article presents brief description of dominants' role in landscape of cities, definitions used in research. Main goal was to present mentioned objects, their spatial distribution and role performed in landscape. Article presents also: definitions of key terms, delimitation of area being analysed for presence of predominant features, their localization, classification and role performed ind landscape of Tri-City.Also area of study is described, along with its localisation and key spatial characteristics, such as height above sea level, major spatial barriers, along with administrative units.

As a part ot the study, cities were divided to groups of districts, chosen from administrative units located next to each other and similar in terms of spatial development. Some groups were excluded from further analysis mainly due to their weak spatial connections with main parts of the analyzed cities.

Within groups of districts not excluded earlier, field studies were conducted. As a result, the catalogue of existing dominants were created, along with their typology. Also, assesment of transformations of landscape in the context of rise of dominants was conducted.
