PROBLEMS Manor Estates as Integral Elements of the Rural Landscape. Issues Related to the Protection and Present-Day Use Based on Selected Examples in Southern Poland Zespół dworski jako integralny element krajobrazu wsi. Problemy ochrony i współczesnego użytkowania (na wybranych przykładach z Polski południowej) Agata Zachariasz SUMMARY
This work is devoted to palaces and parks as well as manor and park estates located in the region of Beskid Niski and Pogórze. It provides a description of the principles applied in the course of establishing estate grounds, such as selection of a proper place, location in relation to rivers and main roads as well as interrelations between specific elements, taking into consideration water systems, transportation links, ornamental gardens and farm buildings, i.e. outbuildings and utility gardens. Furthermore, the article offers a presentation of the current problems related to these estates and their place in the landscape, making use of these sites, in particular decorative parks, as well as restoration projects.
Manor and Palace Estates in Ślężański Landscape Park - Problems with Preservation and Usage Zespoły pałacowo-folwarczne w krajobrazie kulturowym Ślężańskiego Parku Krajobrazowego - problemy ochrony i zagospodarowania Janusz Gubański SUMMARY
Quaint rural buildings, stately manor houses and spacious farmlands are common sights in the village landscape near the Ślężański Landscape Park. Out of eighteen rural communities within the borders of the Ślężański park, there are eleven which have manor estates with various physical conditions, usage and state of preservation. Developed for current use only to a limited extent, these estates and grounds are often in such disrepair that they exert a negative impact on the rural spatial composition and local identity. This article discusses some of the issues of preservation and development of manor estates within the Ślężański Landscape Park.
Local Initiatives - Changing How Rural Areas are Perceived Inicjatywy lokalne - szansą na nowe postrzeganie obszarów wiejskich Anna Podolska, Iwona Orzechowska-Szajda SUMMARY
Rural areas are undoubtedly undergoing changes. Often as a result of the proximity to a large city or simply because of prevailing trends. There are few villages left that are supported only by agriculture and with increasing frequency the original, singlefunction model is being replaced by a multi functional village. Villages are starting to open themselves up to the outside world by trying to attract potential tourists to visit local areas. The result of all of this is the appearance of themed villages, expeditions for rural explorers, seasonal local festivals and local products which are meant to revive rural areas by displaying local attractions. The aim of the following article is to highlight the changes which have been occurring in recent years in rural areas in Lower Silesia, especially those which were initiated by local residents.
LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY Wind Farms as Elements that Determine the Structure and Function of Rural Landscapes Farmy wiatrowe jako elementy determinujące strukturę i funkcjonowanie krajobrazu wiejskiego Krzysztof Badora SUMMARY
Due to the need to fulfil international obligations in the area of renewable energy sources, numerous wind farms are planned and constructed in rural areas of Poland. Essential changes in the landscape structure result from the appearance of new landscape dominants and subdominants, such as turbines and accompanying components, as well as introduction of dynamics, due to rotation of turbines, into landscape. Wind power stations change the perception of landscape and subordinate all formerly included components.Construction of wind power stations, particularly wind farms with numerous groups of turbines and accompanying infrastructure, imposes changes in the agricultural structure of rural areas. In order to decrease the negative effect on the structure and functioning of physiognomic landscape in rural areas, the following optimization principles are suggested: of diversification in the protection regime, of limiting the number of turbines per farm, of adjustment of the distribution of wind power stations to landscape geometry, of developing a spot effect of turbines, of avoiding location of wind turbines at the background of rural systems, of concentrating power stations in particular planes of panoramas (at similar distances from the observer), of high density, of homogenous density, of location along the horizon line, of protection of road axes extensions, of farm decentralization, of limiting the accumulated effect with power lines, of unified standards, of protection of present dominants in rural systems, of selecting a colour scheme. Lack of multiaspect and multicriteria valorizations of areas for the purposes of development of wind energetics results in numerous spatial and social conflicts. Development of wind energetics should be subject to more rigorous restrictions.
STANDARDS Methodology of Research for Optimizing Guidelines for the Design of Spatial and Program Development of Agrotourism Farms Metodologia badań prowadzących do optymalizacji wytycznych programowo- -przestrzennych w gospodarstwach agroturystycznych Maria Ostrowska-Dudys, Aleksandra Lis SUMMARY
Increasing interest in rural areas has led to the development of tourist farms in attractive regions. Agrotourism farms have gone beyond traditional offerings of recreation and accommodation, to expanding the range of related themes to include those that are educational, medically related, ethnographic, historical, etc. Adapting an agro-tourism farm and its facilities requires resolving many different types of problems. The proposed test method outlines procedures and research techniques for evaluating and optimizing spatial and program development plans for newly built and adapted farms. The potential value in this method arises from the opportunity of being able to use it to develop design guidelines that could increase the likelihood of success for agro-tourism farms. The proposed method may serve as a tool for community development and a simplified version could be helpful for farmers wishing to operate an agro-tourism farm.
PRESENTATIONS Transformation of Ciechów, Rakoszyce and Szczepanów Villages Located in the Area of Środa Śląska commune Przekształcenia wsi Ciechów, Rakoszyce i Szczepanów położonych na terenie gminy Środa Śląska Małgorzata Zając, Joanna Zając SUMMARY
The article refers to the transformation of the villages of Środa Śląska commune: Ciechów, Rakoszyce and Szczepanów. Due to the presence of social infrastructure and services (such as shops, schools, health care facilities, libraries) they are the centers of the commune of Środa Śląska and develop faster than their neighboring village. The creation of this infrastructure was affected by the transformation of the villages belonging to the commune of Środa Śląska, which had place about 40 years ago and in which significant role was played by multi-family housing of the state farms. The villages Ciechów, Rakoszyce and Szczepanów may offer a better place of residence for less money, allowing people to own piece of land, to avoid the disadvantageous effects of population density, building intensity, standardization of construction, urban disorganization, as well as the high quality living environment – closeness to the nature, the elements of social infrastructure and services, availability of culture services, recreation places, etc.
Developing Woodland Area for Recreational Use - an Example of a Design Concept for a Suburban Forest near Rzeszów Koncepcja rekreacyjnego zagospodarowania terenów leśnych na przykładzie lasów podmiejskich Rzeszowa Tomasz Dudek, Aleksandra Szubart SUMMARY
Forests are more frequently being seen as desirable locations for spending leisure time, particularly for those living in cities and deforested suburban areas. The limited recreational facilities of forest areas can be improved with appropriate development without the need for allocating new land. The objective of this study is to present a design concept for enhancing the recreational capacity of a selected suburban forest near Rzeszów. The project is targeted mainly to residents of the Rzeszów area who would be interested in forest recreation. The designed recreational area includes: a fire pit and a ring of seats; a roofed area with a table and benches; a waste container and informative signage. The design also features a playground for children. The study focuses on promoting awareness of the local attractions and sights by means of a walking trail leading across the adapted area and surrounding vicinity. The authors have described an example of a design project which may inspire government entities responsible for woodland areas.
A River Used in Agritourism: the Development Plan of a Vantage Point in the Wieprz River Valley Rzeka i jej wykorzystanie w agroturystyce - projekt zagospodarowania miejsca widokowego w dolinie rzeki Wieprz Halina Lipińska Edyta Cieniuch SUMMARYThere are many places in rural Poland that have tourist appeal. Among those that have higher landscape and environmental value are riverside areas, which are especially good for attracting tourists. Unfortunately, a lot of natural areas located in river valleys are overlooked because they lack sufficient promotion, ideas or development concepts that would take advantage of the local attractions. A development concept has been prepared for increasing the potential appeal of an agritourist farm that lies adjacent to a stretch of the Wieprz river valley. The main idea of the plan is to create an eco-friendly spot near the river with an attractive landscape and panoramic views. According to the plan, trails will be marked out and outdoor viewing platforms and steps will be constructed which provide safe and easy tourist access. The plan also provides for recreational benches and lighting to encourage use of the site at night, considerably increasing the overall attractiveness of the tourist area. Efforts were made to take into account all possible environmental and landscape issues within a modern framework of form, technology and setting. |
