This study is an attempt to give an insight into some aspects of Slavic civilization that flourished in vast territories of Europe during Early Middle Ages. Through the examination of cross-regional similarities and differences the authors described concepts of space amongst various Slavic tribes. Their different experiences, historical heritage and social development related to distinct territories, resulted in a very complex perception of individual and public, or urban and rural space. The neat fabric of antique organization of space marked the concepts of confrontation or coexistence of various spatial layers in the territories occupied by South Slaves. In the same time, vast areas of East European wild habitats conditioned specific way of building, space organization and living.
