Ekonomiczne aspekty krajobrazu
Economic Aspects of Landscape

Aleksander Böhm
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The beginnings of the discussion about the economical aspects of landscape came into existence with the moment of carrying out an idea in the USA according to which a landscape became common good. This discussion considers financing of landscape shaping – costs and profits coming from it. In the second half of the 19th century the first National Park in Yellowstone was created according to the Congress decisionabout creating National parks in areas worthless for purposes other than tourism. In the same period, in order to increase advantages of the New York landscape and creating public space, funds began to be gathered for the buyout area of the future Central park on Manhattan. The author addresses a question about the way of financing environment protection, cultural heritage and the beauty of the landscape and if the form of grant and patronage can be reconciled with the form of investment which is a business venture. Together with the increase in the well-being of society demand for beauty also increases. It becomes a source of pleasure for which they pay more and more. Successful urban and architectonic investments within a landscape increase the attractiveness of the region and because of it raise the price of the land. It can also be the opposite. The spectacular example of taking advantage of the economical value of an attractive landscape is a longstanding process of urbanite transformations of Kurytyby. Summing up, the author claims that actions within landscape cannot be based only on the system of limitations and bans. It is an action requiring costs and stabilized legal conditions, and management of ventures in this domain can bring calculable and longstanding material benefits to the public private realm.

Oceny oddziaływania na środowisko w procesie ochrony krajobrazów podmiejskich
Environment impact assesment in the protection of the suburban areas

Krystyna Dubel
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Procedures of valuation of interactions towards the environment (OOŚ), which has been a tool of environment protection policy in our country since 1990, aim at providing entities included into a decision process with information on consequences which an introduced plan, program or ventures have on the environment. Apart from plans of special development OOŚ are an important tool for protection of suburban landscapes. They allow complex and systematic presentation of the knowledge about potential results of actions and possibilities of their avoidance or alleviation. The efficacy of suburban landscapes protection depends on the quality of drawn up reports (reliable and accurate information about planned investment and its potential interactions) and enforcing the investors to act on behalf of landscape protection by the administration.

Ekologiczno-przestrzenne problemy stref podmiejskich dużych miast na przykładzie Warszawy
Ecological and spatial problems of suburban Jones of big towns on the example of Warsaw

Barbara Żarska
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The important directions for landscape shaping of suburban zones are enclosed in provisions of national, European Union and international legislation as well as in the cardinal ecological principles of nature protection. The most important ecological and spatial problems of suburban zones, typical for Warsaw and other big towns, are:
  1. chaos of spatial management – dispersion of sites, domination of development,
  2. rapid changes of proportion between biologically active and non-biologically active areas,
  3. rapid fulfilment of space with anthropogenic nonnatural elements having often forms disharmonised with surroundings and site tradition,
  4. increasing fragmentation of biologically active areas and ecological isolation.
The rational spatial management, realised consistently in accordance with long-term spatial policy, is the only tool to stop these undesirable processes. Physical development plans should be obligatory for all areas. Systems of natural areas and proecological provisionsshould be widely introduced in physicalplanning. The urgent need is to define maximal ranges for development in towns and mark out areas for realisation of natural system and ecological connections.

Wybrane modele relacji funkcjonalnych w strefie styku miasta z zewnętrznymi terenami otwartymi
Chosen Models of Functional Relationships in the Border Zone Between the City and Open Landscape

Maria Morawska
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The analysis and evaluation of relations which occur in the contact area facilitates onmidirectional evaluation of the existing and planned functioning of contact areas of cities and external open areas. The proposed method can be used as one of the practical aspects of defining regulations of shaping and development directions spatial management of the areas situated in contact areas. Thanks to its complexity the method can also be used in attempts at solving one of the more difficult planning problems connected with uncontrolled spread of cities.

Waloryzacja przestrzeni mieszkaniowej w opiniach klientów łódzkich biur obrotu nieruchomościami
Value of housing space in the opinions of clients of Łódź real estate agencies

Lidia Groeger
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Research into the current needs of people regarding the place of abode is mostly justified at the relevant level of socio- economical development. It can fulfill the prospect of cognitive functions, but can also find an application in practice: in identification of the advantages of various places of abode, evaluation and rating of real estate, and in the process of rational shaping of the space where man functions. As sociologists stress – the needs of people and socio-economical development change, influenced by conditions of abode,a module propagated by mass media, family and friends and also by the possibilities of their being carried out. That is why a group of about 600 clients of Łódź real estate agencies interested in a change of their living area was researched. These people, facing an important decision in their lives, very carefully analyze their needs. It is possible to guess that opinions achieved by way of questionnaire survey are deeply thought over, and because of this they are worth paying attention to. They record the current needs of the inhabitants of such a big city as Łódź.

PRESENTATIONS

Ocena wpływu zabudowy na środowisko w programie nauczania studentów Wydziału Architektury Environmental assessment of buildings in the masters programme at the Faculty of Architecture in Wrocław
Krzysztof Cebrat
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
In response to the lack in ecological education of students of architecture, the staff of The Department of Sustainable Development implemented, in 2001, eco-compensation methods and green buildings rating systems into the master’s programme at the Faculty of Architecture. The students were given the task of finding an appropriate location and design of a housing unit of 20 flats. In the first stage of the project, they had to make an inventory of a chosen location and its close urban surroundings, which was followed by the evaluation of the environmental value of the landscape before and after the proposed investment;  his value was expected to increase in the result of the investment. The second stage of the project involved assessing one of the singlefamily houses to be erected on the proposed site. The students received a ready-made plan (with all relevant technical data) of the building and a rating list created on the base of currently used Life Cycle Assessment methods [GBT v1.59, 2001], [LEED v. 2,0, 2001], [EcoHomes, 2001]. The described ratings, used in both stages of the project, were simplified suiting their educational use. Nevertheless the programme teaches to pay close attention to ecological impact of every part of every kind of investment.

Budowa autostrady A-2 - szansą na wzbogacenie walorów i zasobów w przekształconym krajobrazie rolniczym Wielkopolski
Highway Construction - an opportunity to enhance assets and rescources in the transformed Wielkopolska agricultural landscape

Izabela Dymitryszyn
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The section of the newly designed A-2 highway between Poznań and Września takes a new route through agriculturally used land. Most frequently, land designated for highway corridors is covered with huge single-crop corn and wheat acreage. The primeval Wielkopolska landscape in this region was characterised by high proportion of wooded areas and large areas of bogs. Over time, starting in the XIV century, deforestation and drainage of the area started, gradually transforming the species rich forest and hydrogenic habitat (Hładynowicz H. J. 1932). The physiognomy of Wielkopolska underwent transformation particularly in the XX century, a visible indication of which was the disappearance of characteristic small ponds. Fragmented agricultural landscape has undergone a strong degradation. Most of the natural recourses disappeared (lot of animal and plant species). Indigenous species survive only inside, not numerous and isolated, habitat remnants. Is there a chance, that construction of the A-2 highway would able to change degraded stage of Wielkopolska landscape? Green belts and right-of-way with rich structure of designed vegetation, parallel to carriageways, can functioning as a corridor. Green corridors near existing motorways in Holland, USA function as a corridors, which connecting isolated patches as: tree plantings, cave-in lakes surrounded by crop fields (habitat remnants of numerous species). Forest birds, small mammals, arthropods are used to migrate along Corynephoretum associations, groups of native shrubs and trees species shaped on a highway ROW (Viles R.L., Rosier D. 2001; Bolger D., Scott A. at al. 2001; Bergin T, Best L. at al. 2000; Brotons L., Herrando S., 2001 Vermeulen H., 2000). The key plans of Polish motorway network should consider management by rules of the landscape ecology. That means not only a creation of management projects in the limits of highway’s separating lines (borders of land repurchase) but a creation integrated plans of ecological management of agricultural landscape adjacent to a road corridor, too. Ecological rules of a roadside landscape designing take a chance to recreate some natural recourses in degraded agricultural landscape of Wielkopolska.

Program Odnowy Wsi w opracowaniach Akademii Rolniczej we Wrocławiu
Countryside Regeneration in Case Studies by the Agricultural Academy of Wrocław

Irena Niedźwiecka-Filipiak
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
There are many endangerments for traditional countryside landscape and the most important one is ill-considered chaotic actions of individuals not taking into consideration the character of the whole place. Each change to building cubage, overhauls, rebuilding, window or roofing replacement or erecting new objects can change irreversibly the character of the place and its expression. If the inhabitants who pursue what is new, different and modern in their understanding forget the identity of the place in which they are to live, in no time their traditional appearance and the character of the place is obliterated. One of the solutions to the described problems is creating a program “Countryside Regeneration” which takes into account needs in the line of improving life standards as well as problems connected with preservation of the cultural heritage of the country. The program is successfully carried out in the region of Opolskie province. In 2001 the Marshal Office of Opolskie province established a cooperation with the Institute of Building and Architecture at Agriculture Academy of Wrocław. The most important part of the cooperation is documenting architectural and landscape advantages of the countryside, counselling and designing country space carried out under the banner of “Let’s Take Care of our Landscape”. A pilot case study regarded Piliszcz village and was presented at the 1st Polish Congress of Countryside Regeneration. The next step in extension of that cooperation is introducing a subject area connected with villages participating in the program of countryside regeneration into the area of project and planning exercises during the winter term in the 3rd year of study. The main aim of case studies is helping the inhabitants of the villages to discover the individual characteristics of the place which distinguishes it from others and which can be an inspiration for further actions connected with the landscape and architectural changes of various places.

Uprawnienia zawodowe - kartel, czy zdrowa konkurencja
Professional Powers - Cartel or Healthy Competition

Mirosław Sztuka
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Landscape architects fight for the appointing of professional powers not realising the practical problems and duties which conclude from possessing such powers. Professional powers and creation of Chamber of Landscape Architects aim at increasing, protection and strengthening the high standard of the profession not creating a barrier protecting performers of this profession against a free market. Together with introducing such powers a place and role of a landscape architect in Polish planning and building legislation should be appointed. Landscape architects should deal with political lobbying as well in order to efficiently create appropriate legal norms. The second necessary action will be stipulation of profession norms which will allow Polish landscape architects to come into being as a real profession, performing their occupation on a European level. Introducing high professional standards and obligating those who wish to acquire professional powers to uphold them can cause resistance in this environment, especially at the moment of voluntary submission to appraisal by the Chamber, also in the matter of following the standards by the members themselves. The division into two separate professions: landscape architects and garden designers, is also worth rethinking. Conferring professional powers should occur after appropriately documented and positively apprised professional practice. The essential problem is to increase the level of education and making education programs feasible at our universities to allow people with appropriate preparation and qualifications to enter the profession.

ROZWIĄZANIA TECHNICZNE

Nowe drogi w krajobrazie podmiejskim - różne aspekty przestrzeni
New roads in suburban landscapes. Different aspects of space

Aleksandra Sas-Bojarska
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The paper presents different examples of existing and planned system of Gdańsk Agglomeration’s bypasses, localised mostly in suburban landscapes. It shows not only the potential threats for the suburban landscapes caused by construction and operation of new roads, but also the chances of improvements in the landscapes of chosen places and areas. Detailed description of environmental, visual and cultural impacts is presented for every chosen example. One of tools, which regulates problems with the landscape quality management, is Environmental Impact Assessment procedure (EIA). It is obligatory by law for all planned activities that might seriously affect the environment. That also includes major roads changing the quality of suburban landscape. Systematic and interdisciplinary approach realised by EIA ensures the proper assessment of landscapes’ values and threats, to see technical, environmental, cultural, visual, social and economic problems not in isolation, but in their mutual relations. It helps to make a decision on most desired shape of a future development, including new road systems. It is especially important in the areas, where many different circumstances have to be taken into account, and the problem is to consider in a complex manner advantages and threats, and to compare strong and weak aspects of space, to ensure the best choice. EIAs may be helpful in avoiding and minimising negative impacts, but also in promotion, exposure, and better access to natural and cultural heritage of objects and areas, as well as in better management of their surroundings. Under some conditions, the road construction in suburban areas may open up new opportunities for the sustainable city development. This thesis has been illustrated by proposal of mitigation measures given for chosen cases. Keywords: roads, landscape, threats, Environmental Impact Assessment, mitigation measures.

{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
In the period of uniting Europe regional values gain still more importance. In process of designing green elements regional aspect is becoming vital one. Computer catalogue ‘HORTUS’ tries to join local environment circumstances with local producers and designers offer. It’s main role is to facilitate process of selection of trees, shrubs and climbers for design works. ‘HORTUS’ is elaborated as text and graphical data base. Contains information about features and requirements of above 1500 plants. They are as follow: Polish name, Latin name with indication of author, synonyms, shape of crown, maximal height, design height, max imal width, design width, soil requirements – humidity, fertility, acidity, pollution resistance, favourable placement – parks, squares, road sides, Polish climate zones, colour dominating in various periods of a year, fastness of growth, transparency of crown, needed insolation, fragrance, germicidality, emaciating features, allelopatic features, diffusion of diseases, eatable and poison features, honey yield, allergic features, tractability for cutting, some added features in text way, photographs of shape in spring, summer and autumn, leafs in summer and autumn, fruits, flowers, branches or trunks, drawings of leaf and of shoot by the winter. There are added characteristic of Polish natural forest associations. This information helps with designs of natural landscape elements. Catalogue HORTUS enable automatic update of producers and designers offer. It is an kind of open data base enable adding new plants all the time and enable designing with maximal differentiated and accessible plant material. Photographs included could be used to prepare visualisations of design works. Version of HORTUS able to work together with AutoCAD is under work.

Planowanie i realizacja tras szybkiego ruchu i autostrad na przykadzie Niemiec
Role of a landscape architect in planning and carrying out highway and motorway routes (a German example)

Katja Więckowicz
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
In European Union programs regarding environment protection it was repeatedly stressed that the best policy against the natural environment is prevention or simply avoiding its degradation instead of later fights with a negative influence on it. In 1990 it was materialized in the act about valuation of the influence on the environment (so called UVPG). This guideline is diversely interpreted and exerted in various EU membership countries. The case study presents a German example of introducing it into life. In Germany, in land use planning as well as during design of communication routes the conventional technical project expands to new assignments, so called “commentaries to the project from the point of view of landscape protection”. While designing more than regional routes such case studies constitute an integral part of the technical project and, what is connected with it, they come into binding force and are elements of documentation which the Investor is obliged to effectuate while formulating and validating the investment. Those assignments have been creating quite a new area of operation for landscape architects. On account of their qualifications and education ranging to ecological, planning, urban and architectonic aspects they can carry out case studies in a complex way, valuate interactions of protected goods, turn in architectonic and technological solutions with help of which it is possible to avoid or weaken the negative influence on the environment. In the process of education of landscape architects it is essential in future to pay special attention to putting stress on knowledge from the domains of ecology, landscape planning, urbanity and various industry coordination as well as on classical assignments for this professional group.

Przegląd umocowanych prawnie mierników jakości krajobrazu
Review of full powers measures of landscape quality
Renata Giedych
Marek Szumański
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Query of currently binding legal regulations in Poland indicated a lack of legal concretisation of the landscape idea – which could mean that in consequence it is impossible to describe values of landscape. However by affinity of the idea of landscape with the idea of environment it is possible to describe selected components of landscape common for both ideas according to the rules included in legal acts. For such can be recognized: fossils, soils, waters, air, plants and animals. The above mentioned list of full power landscape components, by colligation of the ideas of landscape and environment, indicates that in the Polish legal system mainly legal entries regarding natural landscape components can found. An analysis of the content of selected legal regulations regarding landscape components specified above demonstrated that their legal concretisation is performed by variously apprehended ways in the description of their different characteristics. The way of describing as well as the choice of characteristics indicate that in Polish law regulations, value of the landscape is vastly perceived, in the opinion of the authors in the three variants of quality are outlined as: natural value of landscape, landscape utility value and landscape lost value. The above mentioned values are described in analysed regulations with application of various measures taking the form of either a condition, standard, norm, specification, parameter or lastly tarificator. The identification of types of measures applied to the description of landscape value in currently binding regulations, although preliminary, indicates a clear tendency of diffraction in their use depending on the type of defined value of landscape.

Rytm formalny jako przejaw antropogenizacji krajobrazu
Formal rhythm as a indicator of landscape humanisation

Beata J. Gawryszewska
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Esoterics says, that everything what is geometrical on the world belong to divine thoughts, man is full of, while that things, what are asymmetric – to earthly nature. And so this thing what is geometrical (rhythmical, eurhythmic also) means an enclave of thought in boundlessness of nature. Human’s place on the Earth – house and garden. Rhythm plays special role in our existential space formation. It satisfies need of ordering of impressions stream, which flow in from outside to our senses. It captures of the world, recognitions his laws and qualifications them with rhythmical image. Research passed in Poland, relating valorisation of landscape among Polish peasants says, that they acknowledged only symmetrical composition as nice. Aesthetical patterns educated in exclusive layers of society, a high style, went down more and more lower, creating low style. Axis and symmetry of manor houses arose while from spirit of classical, Vitruvius eurhythmy. Eurhythmic composition (symmetrical and rhythmical) on ground of theory of architecture and arts was synonym beauties, usefulness and familiar (!) and one opposed her irregularities, to ugliness and not usefulness (understood as wildness also). This theory was obligatory to XVIII age, to moment of appearing new aesthetical picturesque paradigmatic. Analysis of contemporary family gardens in their functional, formal and meaning layer show, that forms, which are shaped by users of space, join with realization of family existential needs. Accumulation of symmetrical and rhythmical forms full of symbolical meanings in spaces different of function and of meanings – especially entrance space – testifies, that rhythm plays major role in family garden and fructify with mark symbolic of “isolation and opening” in existential space. In this zones assemble supernatural proprieties of the rhythm. System of ornaments permits man to feel environment and helps him to find existential support.

Wisła - czyli rzeka, która się rozpływa. Reinterpretacja koncepcji Świder Bis
Reinterpretation of "Świder Bis" conception
Monika Harmas

Łukasz Kowalski
Michał Siedlecki
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The subject matter of the project workshop which took place on 1-5.05.2002 in the studio of prof. Jacek Damiecki in Warsaw was an attempt to reinterpret Świder Bis conception. The workshop was organized by The Scientific Circle of Landscape Architects SGGW in Warsaw. The conception Świder Bis which was aiming at creating a waterside leisure area in a region of Otwock ridge was created in “Wisła” studio of the Warsaw development planning office in the 1970s. During the reinterpretation two new factors were taken into consideration: the growth of importance of the Wisła as a European ecological passage and change in socio- economical conditions. These factors decided about the assumption of the principal conception, presumption of introducing an open recreation program and the possibility of carrying it out in several investment steps. The essence of the conception and also a characteristic distinguishing it from the primary version is preservation of the natural rhythm of Wisła valley life through resignation from building a flood bank. It is to allow partial freeing the Wisła and lead to natural seasonal flooding of the Wisła marshy meadows. The current conception includes in its range a bigger region than the primary OEwider Bis . It assumes building a foot – cycling bridge across the Wisła which would ensure a flow of cycling and pedestrian traffic from central parts of Warsaw to so called Otwock ridge. Such a bridge with a light and openwork structure which is based on the Bailey type MS military system, which harmonizes with the character of the vast marshy meadow landscape of the river and its length provides easy passage of the construction over Średzkie Islands Reservation. The conception also assumes adaptation of Siekierki thermal-electric power station ash mound which would constitute a viewing point over the Wisła Valley, at the same time the offering possibility of building into its infrastructure – servicing tourist traffic. In the conception Świder Bis 2002the bridge together with the mound would play a franchise part in creating a main recreation base.

Produkcja dawnych folwarków - tradycja a współczesność
The Production in The Old Farm Complexes - The Tradition and The Present Time

Renata Gubańska
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The Wrocław Lowland has been selected for the research work. In general, grange farms have been occupied in corn-growing until the end of 18th century. Late 18th and especially early 19th century was the time when Lower Silesia passed through a real agrarian revolution. It manifested itself in mastering the tilling methods and in substantial growth of livestock population. Over the area covered by research, grange farms were dominated by corn-growing, mainly rye and wheat. Such type of production was greatly influenced by fertile soils prevailing within the region. However, in 19th century farms gradually transformed to breeding. This mainly included cattle, swine, goats and also ship. In conclusion, a statement could be made that grange farms over the area under consideration were engaged in a broad line of production, starting from tilling corn, via breeding and terminating in agricultural/food industry.

PROBLEMY
Kreowanie regionu poprzez wartości kulturowe
The development of the region according to the cultural values

Jerzy Oleszek
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Although there appear nowadays new approaches to viewing the region, the fundamental role in its creation should be that of the cultural environment. However, are the elements of the local tradition known and, moreover, used in promoting a particular area? Observations and analysis of the geographically isolated Kłodzko region proven that its cultural environment used to be very explicit and rich. Today the most specific feature of this area is the outline of the buildings and settlements – their forms and architectural details – harmoniously placed in the countryside. The fact that the tower on Śnieżnik mountain was closed and the characteristic plant – European Globeflower (Trollius europaeus) – is almost unknown to the local communities, shows that the development of the area ceased to be conducted according to the historically established symbols. Moreover – in the wake of the recent transformations, traditional farming is not able to sustain the rural economy as it once has done, leaving many agricultural buildings empty and decaying. Making use of former agricultural buildings can create very attractive spaces that can be put to commercial use, without detracting from the surrounding environment. The means to maintain the cultural value of the region is to preserve the traditional style of the existing houses and to develop the new buildings according to the regional features of architecture. It is also important to educate the local community and make it aware of the role of its tradition, especially if the tourism plays the main role in the local plans of social and economical development.

Atrakcyjność turystyczna miejscowości sudeckich
Tourist attractiveness of the resorts in Sudety Mts.

Marek Staffa
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The Sudety mountains, with the most impressive Karkonosze massif, create the natural border between Poland and Czech Republic, situated very close to the German border. This area could be considered as one of the most attractive tourist regions of our country (especially for winter sports), because of its unique geological, natural, cultural and landscape values. Unfortunately, its “golden age” of tourism has finished in the early 40s, because of the war and post-war socio-economic conditions. Signs of the former popularity are still visible all over the countryside, particularly in the architecture of the old ski-centres and spas. Author presents the typology of more or less known mountain locations, analysing their tourist values and perspectives of development. Report underlines the need of preserving the features of regional identity and creating the new attractive offers, taking into account the contemporary standards and differentiated expectations of customers.

Parki podworskie w strefie podmiejskiej Wrocławia
The suburban manor parks in the face of the sprawling residential areas
Zuzanna Borcz
Monika Czechowicz
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Many manor parks are to be found in Lower Silesia countryside. Within the suburban communes, as: Długołęka, Prusice, Sobótka situated nearby Wrocław, almost 50% of the villages still have the manor parks. They are mostly overgrown and neglected by their post-war users, such as schools or the agricultural cooperatives. After the socio-political transformation from the early 1990s, the private persons have started to buy the better preserved parks, which are recently well maintained. The new types of devastation derive from the vast sprawl of the housing areas. The architectural forms of the buildings are often inspired by historical shapes and details of the neighbouring palaces, although the visual effects of highly differentiated houses grouped on the small sites can be estimated as far from the expectations of the owners. The paper points at the difficulties in combining the shortterm economic and social goals with the requirements of greenery preservation and maintenance.

Zmiana układu przestrzennego wsi podmiejskiej na skutek urbanizacji
The spatial structure of the villages under the pressure of the suburban development

Zbigniew Kuriata
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
Open rural space is valued by many urban dwellers for recreation and quality of life reasons. However, when suburban development expands into the countryside, the traditional patterns of shaping the landscape are usually changed in an irreversible way. Despite the statements of sustainability and respect to the cultural heritage, in the researched villages neighbouring Wroclaw from its southern side – the first stage of development is usually connected with:
  • extention of great homogenous service and industrial areas (situated along the main roads, as close as possible to the city borders)
  • spread of homogenous residential areas (situated almost everywhere, but concerning the communication availability and the distance from the city).

The new buildings are mostly out of scale and character with traditional forms of the farmsteads. The planners, architects and owners do not respect the existing density, roofscapes, materials, details, spaces between buildings and other natural or cultural features, that contributed to the character of the surrounding rural areas.

Nowe funkcje gmin podmiejskich na przykładziei gmin: Czernica i Jelcz-Laskowice
The new functions of suburban communes: Czernica and Jelcz-Laskowice

Wojciech Jabłoński
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The communes: Czernica and Jelcz-Laskowice are situated within an urban fringe of Wrocław, in the plain Odra river valley. The once actively farmed areas become increasingly redundant and it is necessary to find alternative ways to stimulate their future development. At the same time – with modern communications and new ways of working, people are looking for more friendly environments, away from the hustle of city locations. These accessible rural and wooden areas seem to be very attractive for weekend recreation as well as the new land-use categories, such as housing and industry. The existing land-use policy of the mentioned communes reflects the market-led scenario and the general tendency to the homogenous housing development along the main transport corridors in the neighbourhood of main urban centres: Wrocław and Jelcz-Laskowice. The spatial trends to accelerate the economic goals by residential choice are apparent. But the question is: how to save the countryside from simply becoming an extension of the cities?

Twierdza srebrnogórska atrakcją turystyczną dla Wrocławia
The fortress of Srebrna Góra as the tourist attraction

Irena Niedźwiecka-Filipiak
Jerzy Potyrala
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
In recent years the intensity of life has considerably rose. A lot of inhabitants move out from the anonymous and overcrowded cities to the nearby villages, in search of the silence and the calm. This phenomenon is so mass, that in the countryside the zones of detached houses are arising, which nothing differ from the ones located in the townscape. The short tours in the vicinity of the cities offer the more differentiated opportunities of recreation. The surroundings of Wrocław abound in a lot of places attracting their specificity, as Srebrna Góra which is 70 km away from Wrocław. The 18th century fortress of Srebrna Góra belongs to the biggest ones in Europe, situated on the top of the mountains. Once a strategic military object, became very popular on the turn of the 19th century as a tourist attraction. The massive walls of the fort were far visible from the neighboring roads, as predominant above the woody hill-sides. After the second world war the fortress as well as the whole town Srebrna Góra have increasingly deteriorated. The forest completely screened outside the defensive walls, which lost a lot in their scenic and self-promoting values. The paper outlines the necessity of partial, controlled logging in the planned restoration of the tourist attractiveness of the fortress.

Zabytkowa infrastruktura kolejowa na południe od Wrocławia i możliwości jej rewitalizacji
An industrial heritage of the railway and it's recreation values

Aldona Kożan
Magdalenia Belof
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
In some parts of Lower Silesia voivodeship the rail service was recently suspended due to the deteriorating condition of railway infrastructure and increasing role of the other transportation systems. When operating it provided a lot of tourist occasional services, especially within the suburban areas of recreational interests. The paper presents the cultural and scenic values of the closed rail line connecting Wrocław through Świdnica city with the mountain station in Zagórze Śląskie. The first section has been built for fourteen years (1884-1898); the second – for two years (1902-1904), despite the necessity of erecting some bridges and overpasses. The railway helped travellers discover tourist attractions of the suburban and mountain regions. The route crosses areas with a large variety of landscapes which have significant visual amenity. The report focusess on how to preserve this industrial heritage by integrating with the rural redevelopment of the area. Estimating possible costs of two scenarios: adaptation for the purpose of the tourist railway and – alternatively – the biking route, the authors suggest, that the latter seems to be more genuine.

Preservation of rural landscape by planning system. The model of landscape planning framework

Magdalena Nowak-Rząsa
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The planning system plays an important role in shaping, protecting and cultivating the green structures and the visual quality of our towns and countryside. Development plans and strategies provide the legal framework within which effective control can be operated and the local communes can set out an achievable long-term vision. Author presents the model system of the landscape studies, as complementary to the obligatory plans and studies on each level of the planning system in Poland: from the regional – down to the local scale of decision making. Paper underlines the need of comprehensive plans as well as detailed master plans of landscape management and discusses their role in the green structure development, especially within the rural areas.

Koncepcja rozwoju pasmowego doliny Białej Lądeckiej
Forming the landscape ot the Biała Lądecka river valley

Anna Paprzycka
{mooblock=STRESZCZENIE}
The thesis presents a comprehensive study of the possible redevelopment of the mountain river valley with considerable scenic and natural values. The purpose was to create a balanced model of green and open area system in agreement with contemporary needs, which will organise space along the communication axis. The author takes into account the concept of the main “corridors of development” generated by the transportation and waterway systems and extending out from the points encompassed by main centres of development. One of the principles of the above-mentioned concept is to differentiate the spatial function of the long-distance linkages and more local connections. That gives an opportunity to form various spatial schemes of green and open areas, adapted to the regional and site conditions. The author argues, that areas of urban expansion in Biała Lądecka river valley shall be joined by belts, with the axis defined by the rail, river and road networks. The presented belt structure includes: tourist, pedestrian and bicycle route systems, formed parallel to the communication axis, united by verdure, which penetrate freely into the dwelling areas. The settlement areas are located not in node system of points, but its congestion depends on the natural environment resistance and saturation of tourist attractions. As the alternate concept to existing plans, the belt system seems to offer solutions more sustainable and friendly for tourist and the natural environment.
