issues comprise fluvial processes and hydrology, landscape structure and land-use pattern, environmental evaluation and the possibilities of further development, population and age structure, services and
retail patterns and sustainable development. Their use in secondary school environmental/geographical studies on the examples of interconnecteditems, practised skills andattitudes is outlined.
