Relations Between Natural and Post-industrial Areas with Transformed Relief on the Example of Śląsko-Dąbrowski Region

SUMMARY


The Śląsko-Dąbrowski region presents a typical image of post-industrial Silesia. The industry, mainly hard coal extraction, has left its mark on the landscape. However, as years passed, nature found its way to come into existence, even in those degraded lands, transformed by anthropogenic impact and it has shaped a new image of the region. The relations between post-industrial and natural areas turned out to be very strong. However, in order to become the basis for the process of revitalisation they need to be properly defined and emphasized. Based on the inventory lists and analyses of determinants, thirteen groups of related natural and post-industrial sites in the Śląsko-Dąbrowski region have been identified, and potential directions of their development have been indicated. The factor that determined the nature of an area was mainly the level to which the transformation was preserved – anthropogenic impact provides opportunities for interesting space formation, as well asenvironmental values and landscape. The identified areas also differ in the type and strength of their relations. The identified relations include spatial, landscape and functional relations, to which each group of sites was then assigned. The findings of the study confirm the occurrence of the phenomenon of interpenetration of valuable natural sites and transformed sites, and they prove that the process of renaturalisation has started spontaneously. Exploiting the landscape- and terrainrelated potential of the interrelated areas may significantly improve the functioning of the cities of the Śląsko-Dąbrowski region and, in a broader perspective, of Silesia.


The Potential of Post-industrial Landscape Elements for Image Creation and Revival of an Area. The Example of Przemsza and Brynica River Valley

SUMMARY


The main subject discussed in this paper is the question whether taking into account and using postindustrial elements in the creation of a new image and revival endeavours is justified. The problem is discussed on the example of Przemsza and Brynica River Valley in the Silesian Voivodeship. The results of the analyses presented in the article show the potential of industrial-type areas by assessment of selected aspects: historical value and preservation of valuable structures, visibility and landscape formation, the possibility of making them accessible for active use. Surveys show that post-industrial elements in the valley landscape and area are an important asset. In many cases they are characterised by high cultural value, they create the character of a place to a large extent. Not only are they the legacy of the past – though this alone is important in building identity – but they are also a chance for the future and for the creation of a new quality. Their authenticity, unique ambiance, can be used in a new way, corresponding to modern needs – the more so as it turns out, that many of the areas are ready to be made accessible and actively used. Instead of disappearing from the landscape, post-industrial elements could gain new meaning and form unique combinations that would make the area stand out. Due to individual approach, sometimes radical or unconventional ideas may turn into a well-used opportunity which is, in fact, still available in many places.


PRESENTATIONS

A marriage of art and industrial space in post-industrial landscapes
Mariaż sztuki i przestrzeni przemysłowej w postindustrialnym krajobrazie
Bernadeta Stano

SUMMARY


Industrial (mines, factories) and post-industrial (abandoned facilities and ruins) spaces, heavily transformed by human destructive activity evoke no associations with primeval nature. It is difficult to label them under thecategory of a picturesque landscape which has always provided inspiration for painters. The goal of this essay is to present activities of curators and contemporary artists for whom such places not only constitute a source of inspiration, but are also attractive exhibition spaces. Against the background supplied by the history and memory of their former users, they imbue industrial buildings and their surroundings with a new aesthetic and conceptual context. They also frequently contribute to revitalisation of the industrial heritage.

SUMMARY


The aim of this study is to characterize the habitat preferences of Wild garlic (Allium ursinum), determine the potential environmental threats and possibilities of protection of this species and also, to show the possibility of its use as a natural element in landscape planning. The palace park in Korytów (Kłodzko Valley, Lower Silesia) was selected as a model area for the study. The research has shown that bear garlic is a highly demanding plant in terms of soil conditions. The threat to this species is soil eutrophication related to the influence of anthropogenic factor and excessive cutting of forest trees. In order to protect the wild garlic population it is recommended to reduce the felling of trees and remove competitive species like Impatiens parviflora and Urtica dioica.


FORUM
Reclamation of Landfills for Development of Tourism and Recreation – the Waste Utilization Plant in Szadółki as a Case Study
Rekultywacja składowisk odpadów pod kątem rozwoju turystyki i rekreacji na przykładzie Zakładu Utylizacyjnego w Szadółkach
Mariusz Antolak

SUMMARY


The principal aim of landfill reclamation should be to minimize the potential adverse effect of these facilities on the environment. Reclamation should be achieved so as to integrate the area of a waste dumping site with the surroundings. Conversion of land for recreational purposes is one of the trends in reclamation. An unharmonious heap of waste can be transformed into an interesting component of landscape architecture. It is commonly believed that waste dumping disagrees with the development of tourism in a given area. However, a reclaimed landfill can contribute to making the landscape more attractive and become a popular tourist destination. The aim of this article has been to present possible directions in landfill reclamation and its transformation with an aim of developing tourism and recreation. The Waste Utilization Plant in Szadółki (Pomeranian Voivodeship) served as a case for the study. This paper contains examples of successful rehabilitation projects completed in Poland and worldwide. It also describes a concept design for reclamation of the landfill in Szadółki, created as an entry to a countrywide competition.
