PROBLEMS Ski Infrastructure in the Mountain Landscape Infrastruktura narciarska w krajobrazie górskim Marek Staffa SUMMARY
Any investment made in the mountains is in some way interference with their landscape, often with a loss for the scenic qualities. Recently escalate projects and realizations related with the ski infrastructure, also in areas particularly environmentally protected. They also tend to be a threat to other types of tourism by belittling of the "space tourist", they cause irreparable, or at least longterm losses for the landscape. Skiing has changed its character: from tourism and wander it came to the sport forms, even the playing field forms. Now dominates the model of different sizes and differently equipped so called ski stations, which consist of interrelated systems of lines and lifts, and connected with them ski runs and cross-country tracks. They occupy large tracts of the slopes, even to dorsal lots, require significant deforestation and consequently, instead of the beautiful natural panoramas it is observed artificially cut of the ski runs slopes. Mountains become the "wiring", and instead of trees the forest of supports and masts of the load-bearing, propulsion, lighting and snow making equipments grows on them. All these objects are part of a terrible landscape, and also hinder the other users to navigate in the mountains. Meanwhile, the natural climatic and snow conditions in the Polish mountains absolutely not support for such an intensive ski development, because the winter season takes them more than 3-4 months, while the devices reside in the landscape throughout the year. Laws should at least arise (like in other countries) that require owners of ski lifts removal or masking of them after the season.
Operations for the Cultural Landscape in the Borderland Between Poland and Slovakia Działania na rzecz ochrony krajobrazu kulturowego w strefie pogranicza polsko-słowackiego Maria Hełdak SUMMARY
In the work there were shown the operations of the authorities and other organizations for preserving of the cultural landscape in the borderland between Poland and Slovakia. In the commune of Bukowina Tatrzańska chosen for research there are located Podhale and Spi region villages. Despite the mixing of features, their cultural identities are still legible. The Polish state border formerly ran on the Białka river, and the Spi region villages were located outside the Polish border. The commune policy is directed to the cultural environment protection and supporting any forms and manifestations of activities promoting regional tradition and culture. Besides on the area of the commune the Tatra Museum operates in the form of "spatial museum" ("in situ" form of preservation of monuments) and there runs the Wooden Architecture Route. Unfortunately, the commune despite attempts, did not start cooperation with the communes located on the Slovak side in the scope of promoting the cultural values of the region.

Body in the Landscape as the Subject of Sylvia Plath's Poetry Ciało w krajobrazie jako motyw poezji Sylvii Plath Małgorzata Zimniak SUMMARY
The article includes reflections on the human body in the landscape as a main subject of Sylvia Plath's poetry. The landscape and nature are real but distorted by subjective vision of poet's psyche. And the body is determined by this environment. Sometimes we can see two types of anatomy: human and natural. In Plath's poetry there is also seen the influence of the philosopher R. E. Emerson, who wrote that the human and the nature are in ideal unity. The landscape around person who speaks in Sylvia Plath's poems merges with her body. Nature seems to be the extension of the body. Element of the nature penetrate human organs. Sometimes the landscape in Sylvia Plath's poems is very unpleasant for the human body, is full of cold stones, thorns and poisonous fume. The flowers and the trees in Plath's poetry usually are personificated. Red flowers such as poppies or tulips are alive, their rich color is compare with wounds. In Poem for a Birthday there is shown the relationship between nature and human body. The metaphors there are similar to imaging in the poetry of Theodor Roethke. Special subject in Plath's poetry is water landscape. Water is the border that lyrical subject of poems can't across. In such a environment person can't move. Water in this poetry is usually dark and scary.
