Polish term or phrase: dewastowany
Dokument dotyczy transformacji krajobrazu kulturowego na tle przemian ekonomiczno-społecznych.

"dewastowany" w odróżnieniu od "zdewastowany"

(...) Można wyróżnić krajobraz kulturowy harmonijny, dewastowany i zdewastowany. Niewątpliwie w pierwszym ujęciu należy traktować zabytkowy (historyczny) krajobraz kulturowy.
