LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY The Role of Flood Bank Vegetation on the City Landscape: the Example of Big Island in Wrocław Rola roślinności wałów przeciwpowodziowych w krajobrazie miejskim na przykładzie Wielkiej Wyspy we Wrocławiu Maciej Piotrowski Kazimierz Chmura Halina Dzieżyc Zbigniew Kuriata Marta Zdanowicz SUMMARYRiver valleys located within administrative city borders play an important role in the ecosystem, economy, and landscape and have direct and indirect influence on the proper functioning of society. The development of these areas in the past often had adverse consequences. The present condition of the Oder River landscape and its flood plains has mainly resulted from anthropogenic transformations. From its inception and construction, there were other options of using the flood banks in addition to their basic function of flood control. Vegetation played an important role in this respect. In addition to aesthetics, it has a positive impact on the landscape and its spatial layout. This, in turn, increases the attractiveness of these areas and the ways of using them for recreation. Embankment vegetation on Big Island in Wrocław creates a special mood and affects users’ sensory perceptions of this unique place in the heart of the city. The space formed by the vegetation is marked by high flexibility, which makes it easier to shape, adapt, and adjust for specific needs and expectations and, eventually, to develop and deepen the process of attachment of the city’s inhabitants with this place. Combining erosion control with the other, aesthetic functions of the vegetation and especially with recreation, does not significantly affect the natural environment and the prevailing conditions at the site. PREZENTATIONS Modernism in Polanowice, Municipality of Byczyna – a Different Approach to a Rural Area Modernizm w Polanowicach, gmina Byczyna – inne spojrzenie na wieś Zbigniew Kuriata Michał Łukowiak SUMMARYCreating a friendly living environment that would ensure adequate conditions for human sustenance has accompanied mankind since the beginning. Spatial planning has to a greater or smaller extent been the underlying element in this respect. In recent years we have seen increasing chaos in our surrounding space, particularly in rural areas. Most of the recent construction projects in rural regions have little to do with the hitherto existing architecture or are completely divergent from it. This is primarily due to lack of sufficient knowledge and study of the cultural heritage and resources offered by individual villages. This article, on the example of the village of Polanowice, Byczyna Municipality, shows the great potential of the village’s cultural resources including both its well-preserved spatial layout as well as the buildings making up the village space itself. What deserves particular attention is the complex of buildings constructed in the first decades of the 20th century which exemplify the architecture of the modernist era. Along with the remaining buildings it can be a perfect starting point for conducting a complete revitalization of the village. Such activities will allow for the preservation of past generations’ legacy and, at the same time, ensure sustainable development possibilities as well as provide additional sources of income for village residents. The Future of Cittaslow Towns Przyszłość miast Cittaslow Agnieszka Jaszczak SUMMARYThe contemporary space of small towns is made up of multiple layers including historical forms, functions and structures as well as new structures which are very important in the process of creating the towns’ future image. In line with the Cittaslow philosophy, space should be shaped not only in view of current trends and the social and economic needs of the local community, but also based on historical elements and in observance of local traditions. This paper analyzes the development strategies of towns which are members of the Cittaslow International Network which aim to improve the quality of life and promote alternative forms of development that rely on regional differences. STANDARDS Research on the Potentialfor Developing Public Urban Places into Active Community Areas Badanie potencjału miejsc publicznych w mieście w aspekcie możliwości ich aktywizacji Aleksandra Lis Anna Bocheńska-Skałecka Jacek Burdziński Janusz Gubański Ewa Walter SUMMARYThe authors present an ongoing research project that evaluates potential opportunities for promoting social inclusion in various public places. The study initially focuses on public places in Wrocław along the river. The study includes a description of methods and techniques and the usefulness of applying these methods to the development of a strategy for enhanced community activeness in urban public places. FORUM Cultural Landscapes-Arguments ‘For’ and Against: Lessons from the Past Krajobraz kulturowy – za i przeciw. Doświadczenia z przeszłości Adam M. Szymski SUMMARYEach new development in civilization generates new spatial ‘forms’ directly or indirectly resulting from the state of scientific development, the economy and continuously evolving “work tools”. Changes in the environment not only directly affect the sphere of so-called “social relations” but also lead to transformations in the sphere of culture as they create new models and paradigms. At the same time, what used to be regarded as unaesthetic, or incompatible with traditionally accepted standards of “good taste” or beauty, becomes the subject of new aesthetic inspiration, often altering the entire context of the surrounding environment, and at the same time creating a new aesthetic quality. |
