PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATIONS Promotion Department of Katowice City Hall, Marian Drygas, Michał Sygut COMposition Miastostrada.pl PRINTED BY Zespół Szkół Poligraficzno-Mechanicznych im. Armii Krajowej w Katowicach PUBLISHER Promotion Department of Katowice City Hall ul. Rynek 13, 40–098 Katowice Foreword Welcome to Katowice, the capital of Silesian Voivo- deship, where the heart of the agglomeration beats! Katowice is an extraordinary city. And an exceptional one. While preparing this guide, we have discovered it anew. Walking around the city centre, we could not help the feeling that the builders who erected the tenement houses with such a great attention to detail wanted to create a modern space which cannot lack wide paved streets with sidewalks. In a word, our ancestors built the city in which the next generation of Katowice inhabitants can live comfor- tably. The history disrupted their plans a little, but the city centre looks impressive anyway. Taking a closer look at the tenement houses, public buildings or squares, we can guess the intention of architects, who wanted to build on the banks of Rawa river a capital worthy of Upper Silesia . 4 Foreword Katowice is a city created from coal and steel, but also full of greenery and harmony, a city which over the years of transformation has grown into a mo- dern European metropolis. Only today, walking down the streets in the centre, we experience a multidimensional transformation. We watch the subsequent stages of changes made thanks to numerous investments, effectively refre- shing the visual landscape of the city. -

A Case Study of Polish Coastal Cittaslow Towns on the Pomeranian Way of St
land Article Architectural and Urban Attractiveness of Small Towns: A Case Study of Polish Coastal Cittaslow Towns on the Pomeranian Way of St. James Alicja K. Zawadzka Department of Landscape Research and Environmental Management, Faculty of Oceanography and Geography, University of Gda´nsk,Bazy´nskiego4,˙ 80-309 Gda´nsk,Poland; [email protected] Abstract: The paper presents the results of a study on the attractiveness to tourists and natives of the cultural qualities of coastal towns on The Pomeranian Way of St. James that are members of the Cittaslow network. Attention to the quality of urban life is inscribed in the development policies of towns applying to join the Cittaslow movement. In order to join the network (apart from the size criterion), towns need to meet a minimum of 50% plus one of the 72 criteria grouped into seven categories. One of the category is Quality of Urban Life Policy, so the towns applying to join Cittaslow commit themselves to actions aimed at improving the quality of urban life. The study on the attractiveness of cultural qualities of towns to tourists and natives was conducted using the author’s BRB method, whose added value is its universality and the possibility to study small towns regardless of their membership in the Cittaslow network. BRB is an acronym that stands for BUILDINGS, RELATIONSHIPS, BALANCE, and comprises three scopes of activities: BUILDINGS (iconic building and important sites where the inhabitants and the tourists are present); RELATIONSHIPS (the visual effects of the relations between the inhabitants and the town) and Citation: Zawadzka, A.K. -
Katarzyna Brzezińska Social Relations Between Bydgoszcz and Toruń in the Perception of Their Inhabitants
Katarzyna Brzezińska Social relations between Bydgoszcz and Toruń in the perception of their inhabitants Bulletin of Geography. Socio-Economic Series nr 3, 151-157 2004 BULLETIN OF GEOGRAPHY (SOCIO-ECONOMIC SERIES) NO. 3/2004 Katarzyna Brzezińska Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń SOCIAL RELATIONS BETWEEN BYDGOSZCZ AND TORUŃ IN THE PERCEPTION OF THEIR INHABITANTS ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to present the social perceptions and ties between the inhabitants of Toruń and Bydgoszcz. It has been stated that the inhabitants of both of the towns notice the necessity of the mutual co-operation in every sphere. It is thus the first step that the towns of Toruń and Bydgoszcz could build strong ties with the support and help of their inhabitants. Politicians creating the mutual relations betwe en the towns may surely count on the fact that from the social side there will be no counteracts and activities making the integration of the two towns difficult. KEY WORDS: Toruń, Bydgoszcz, perception The close vicinity of two strong city centres, Toruń and Bydgoszcz, in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship inclines to a deeper reflection about their mu tual economic, political, cultural and social relations. The contemporary state of the market economy force not only companies to join into international concerns, but also regions and towns to join into strong organisms. The aim of such an activity is the quicker and more stable development of the region and the increase of its competitiveness on both the national and the global market. The economic and political conditions are considered to force such consolidation in each life sphere. -

CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING REPORTS ISSN 2080-5187 CEER 2015; 19 (4): 005-012 DOI: 10.1515/ceer-2015-0046 RENOVATION AND MODERNIZATION OF HOTEL BUILDINGS - CASE STUDIES IN SILESIA Tomasz BRADECKI 1, Barbara UHEREK-BRADECKA Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, Gliwice, Poland Abstract The cultural heritage of Silesia has different backgrounds and is often characterized by difficult to assess values. There is doubt as to whether some of the existing buildings should be modernized. Since 2000, an increase in the amount of investments in hotel buildings and conference venues in Poland has been observed. The functions and roles of hotels within a city have also changed. The paper presents examples of original projects and realizations of hotel buildings in Silesia. A discussion was also held regarding the issue of adapting and modernizing hotel buildings. Keywords: Silesian heritage, hotel conservation, hotel modernization 1. INTRODUCTION Cultural heritage in Silesia has many backgrounds, and is often characterized by difficult to assess values. There are exceptional examples of architecture and city planning typical of this region: industrial neighborhoods (patron settlements), the remains of industrial buildings, including mines, architecture possessing characteristic traits in terms of style, e.g. clinker brick as a finishing element, laid in a specific manner, or others. The vast majority of the buildings, however, either completely lack such features or only partially attest to the region. Some of these buildings are found in the centers of cities and it would appear that their role is quite significant, considering as how they constitute proof of 1 Corresponding author: Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture, Akademicka st 7, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected], tel.+487930909078 6 Tomasz BRADECKI, Barbara UHEREK-BRADECKA the past, very visible and often unchanged to this very day. -
Possibilities of Inland Waterway Transport Development on the Lower Vistula River from 2020–2030, Considering River Basin Management Plans
Scientific Journals Zeszyty Naukowe of the Maritime University of Szczecin Akademii Morskiej w Szczecinie 2019, 59 (131), 120–126 ISSN 1733-8670 (Printed) Received: 13.08.2019 ISSN 2392-0378 (Online) Accepted: 21.09.2019 DOI: 10.17402/359 Published: 30.09.2019 Possibilities of inland waterway transport development on the Lower Vistula River from 2020–2030, considering River Basin Management Plans Dawid Szatten, Michał Habel, Zygmunt Babiński, Marta Schoeneich Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz e-mail: {szatten; hydro.habel; zygmunt.babinski; m.schoeneich}@ukw.edu.pl corresponding author Key words: River Basin Management Plans (RBMP), Water Framework Directive (WFD), inland waterway transport development, inland management strategies, Water Law Act, environmental pressures of the invest- ments, environmental impact assessment, Lower Vistula River Abstract The Lower Vistula River is a Polish part of inland waterways E40 that has a comparatively low waterway class (Ib – III; excluding Wloclawek Reservoir part – Va), and projects and works should be undertaken to improve the waterway class conditions. This also depends upon the ratification of the AGN agreement by Poland, which obliges the country to adapt the main waterways to at least the fourth class of navigability. A catalog of invest- ment activities must contain environmental objectives due to the inclusion of Lower Vistula River in the Natura 2000 protected areas network. This research includes an analysis of the impact on the inland waterway transport of the investments included in the Vistula River Basin Management Plans (RBMP). These documents make it possible to rationally manage water resources (also in the waterway transport) and indicate actions aimed at maintaining them for future generations. -

The use of this mode in Poland encounters many challenges. Thus, the investigation of development possibilities by analysing the revitalization profitability and navigability restoration of Lower Vistula river should be explored. Following this, the article includes the summary of obtained results of the project INWAPO carrying out and regards development of infrastructure and sea/river ports, demand forecast for transportation, external costs estimation and the main benefits from lower Vistula river revitalization. The main analysis is done with the assumption of IV (or higher) navigable class of the Vistula river. Key words: Inland water transport, transportation, Vistula river 1.
