Abstract

„Anthroposphere” is a term built from two greek words: „anthropos” – „man” and „sphaire” – „ball, sphere, globe, sphericalspace enveloping the earth”. the term therefore includes the time and place of ascent of man on earth and all his creative, manufacturing and producing activities. analysis of modern anthroposphere indicates its „compaction”, i. e. enormous crowding, which involves the destruction of the hierarchy of traditional structure creating space between groups and individuals (the effect of the so-called „democratization” of life) as well as disproportions between population growth and economic and social foundations of its existence. one of the important processes, which was the cause and at the same time is the result of „anthroposphere compaction” is the loss of carefully dedicated in history spheres of intimacy, privacy and the public sphere which are subordinated to the rules of distance and the relationship between the individual and the group. the boundary between the sphere of privacy and the public sphere is extremely delicate and requires constant attention so as not to be exceeded by tearing down the order which was built by centuries of culture.
