Because of exceptional features of animate and inanimate nature, large parts of the province are covered by various forms of nature protection. There is 1 national park (NP), 72 nature reserves (NRs), 9 landscape parks, 21 protected landscape areas and 40 Natura 2000 sites within the administrative borders of the province. The most unique natural features are found in the Świętokrzyski National Park (ŚNP), but the largest surface of the province is covered by protected landscape areas. Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship is the first in Poland in terms of the share of protected areas (as much as 65.2%), strongly outdistancing other Voivodeships. Small natural objects are much more numerous than large protected areas. At present, the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship has 705 natural monuments (NMs), 114 ecological sites (ESs), 20 documentation sites (DSs) and 17 nature and landscape complexes (NLCs). Moreover, new protected areas and sites may still be established within its borders. © IOŚ-PIB 1. INTRODUCTION [Polish Journal of Laws 2004, no.

  • Reservoir Sedimentation Problems in the Vistula River Basin, Poland
    Erosion and Sediment Yield: Global and Regional Perspectives (Proceedings of the Exeter Symposium July 1996). IAHSPubl.no. 236, 1996. 501 Reservoir sedimentation problems in the Vistula River basin, Poland ADAM LAJCZAK Institute of Nature Conservation, Polish Academy of Sciences, Lubicz str. 46, 31-512 Cracow, Poland Abstract Existing knowledge of the geometric and hydrological characteristics of existing and planned dam reservoirs in the Vistula River basin, Poland, and of the spatial differentiation of suspended sediment and bed load transport in the area provides a basis for proposing appropriate locations for planned reservoirs in the river basin. If the location and the order of building of the planned dams conform to these proposals, this will result in slow silting of the reservoirs with advantages both for the use of the river as a waterway and for maximizing the useful life of the reservoirs. INTRODUCTION The correct planning of the development multipurpose reservoir systems in large river basins, where the rivers are characterized by different hydrological regimes and different suspended sediment loads and bed load yields, presents an important problem for fluvial sedimentology. Estimation of the useful lifetime of reservoirs of very diffe­ rent initial geometric and hydrological characteristics, when their functions are fulfilled, must be a prelude to the correct location of planned structures. This time period, which has been estimated for every reservoir studied according to the concept proposed, should not be shorter than the amortization time of the reservoir. The above procedure can be undertaken if the following information is available: (a) the average annual suspended sediment load and bed load as measured at successive gauging stations on the river and its tributaries over a suitable period of time; (b) the initial geometric and hydrological characteristics of existing and planned reservoirs; and (c) the initial trap efficiency for the suspended sediment load of every reservoir studied.

The transformation of state-controlled management system required adjustment of various socio- economic and spatial structures to the new rules of market economy. This process, being based on transformation of the previous structures created in the centrally- steered management system and on the development of new structures, is being observed in many places in Poland, also in rural areas in the Świętokrzyskie Province. One of the most popular forms of development of rural areas is agri- tourism at present. The study attempts to assess the influence of geographical envi- ronment on agritourism development potential in the Świętokrzyskie Province. The analysis of elements of natural environment and tourist amenities makes it possible to evaluate how attractive rural areas are from the standpoint of agri- tourism development. The study gives numerical attractiveness indicators to show how rural areas are diversified in their likelihood of success for agritourism business Key words: rural areas, tourist attractiveness, tourist amenities INTRODUCTION In recent years the multifunctional development of rural areas has been discussed more frequently than before.

  • Floods in Poland from 1946 to 2001 — Origin, Territorial Extent and Frequency
    Polish Geological Institute Special Papers, 15 (2004): 69–76 Proceedings of the Conference “Risks caused by the geodynamic phenomena in Europe” FLOODS IN POLAND FROM 1946 TO 2001 — ORIGIN, TERRITORIAL EXTENT AND FREQUENCY Andrzej DOBROWOLSKI1, Halina CZARNECKA1, Janusz OSTROWSKI1, Monika ZANIEWSKA1 Abstract. Based on the data concerning floods on the territory of Poland during the period 1946–2001, the reasons generating floods, the number of regional floods in the rivers catchment systems, and sites of local floods occurrence, were defined. Both types of floods: caused by riverbank overflows, and land flooding by rain or snow-melt water, were considered. In the most cases, the floods were caused by rainfall. They were connected with changes in the rainfall structure within Po- land. In each season of the year floods of various origin were observed. When the flood initiating factors appeared simulta- neously, the flood grew into a catastrophic size. In present analysis, for the first time in Poland, a large group of local floods has been distinguished. A special attention has been paid to floods caused by sudden flooding of the land (flash flood), including floods in the urban areas — more and more frequent during the recent years. The results of the analyses have provided important data for the assessment of the flood hazard in Poland, and for the creation of a complex flood control strategy for the whole country and/or for selected regions. Key words: flood, classification of floods, floods territorial extent, frequency of floods occurrence, torrential and rapid rain- fall, threat of life, material losses. Abstrakt.

  • Transformation of the Flow Regime of a Large Allochthonous River in Central Europe—An Example of the Vistula River in Poland
    water Article Transformation of the Flow Regime of a Large Allochthonous River in Central Europe—An Example of the Vistula River in Poland Dariusz Wrzesi ´nski and Leszek Sobkowiak * Department of Hydrology and Water Management, Institute of Physical Geography and Environmental Planning, Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz University, Krygowskiego str. 10, 61-712 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 December 2019; Accepted: 10 February 2020; Published: 12 February 2020 Abstract: Identification of river flow regime and its possible changes caused by natural factors or human activity is one of major issues in modern hydrology. In such studies different approaches and different indicators can be used. The aim of this study is to determine changes in flow regime of the largest river in Poland—the Vistula, using new, more objectified coefficients and indices, based on data recorded in 22 gauges on the Vistula mainstream and 38 gauges on its tributaries in the multi-year period 1971–2010. The paper consists of three main parts: in the first part, in order to recognize changes in the flow regime characteristics along the Vistula, data from gauges located on the river mainstream were analyzed with the help of the theory of entropy. In the second part gauging stations on the Vistula mainstream and its tributaries were grouped; values of the newly introduced pentadic Pardé’s coefficient of flow (discharge) (PPC) were taken as the grouping criterion. In the third part of the study a novel method of determining river regime characteristics was applied: through the recognition of the temporal structure of hydrological phenomena and their changes in the annual cycle sequences of hydrological periods (characteristic phases of the hydrological cycle) on the Vistula River mainstream and its tributaries were identified and their occurrence in the yearly cycle was discussed.

ADAM ŁaJcZaK (KraKÓW) CHANGES OF THE VISTULA RIVER CHANNEL PATTERN AND OVERBANK ACCUMULATION RATE IN THE CARPATHIAN FORELAND (SOUTH POLAND) UNDER HUMAN IMPACT Abstract : the rate of overbank accumulationth in the Vistula floodplain within the carpathian Foreland has increased since at least the 16 century as a result of drainage basin deforestation (mainly in the carpathian portion) and agricultural use of this area. however, since the 1850s, additional causes have included deepening of the Vistula channel and its tributaries (mainly the carpathian ones) initiated by regulation works which delivered additional sediment for overbank accumulation within the inter-embankment zone. since the 1950s, a rapid decrease in the overbank accumulation rate was noted. this resulted from the retention of the majority of the sediment by deep reservoirs on the carpathian tributaries of the Vistula, reforestation of- the carpathian portion of the drainage basin, and the slowing down of the rate of deepening of the Vistula channel. an estimate was made of the differentiation of the rate of overbank accu mulation within the inter-embankment zone in the longitudinal profile of the study section of the Vistula. the author proposed a modified model of temporal change of the rate of overbank accumulation in section of the course of the Vistula studied, distinguishing a stage in which changeKeywords was influenced by regulation works. : overbank accumulation, floodplain, inter-embankment zone, inter-groyne basin, river regulation, river Vistula, carpathian Foreland INTRODUCTION accumulation of sediment transported by mountain rivers on floodplains in mountain forelands has occurred as a result of increasing human impact during the recent centuries (Wolman 1967; gregory 1987; starkel 1987a,- 1994, 1995a, 2001b, 2005, 2014; Łajczak 1995a, 1999; czajka 2000; Warowna 2003; Łajczak et al.

  • Potamonyms of the Vistula River Basin As a Part of Cultural Heritage
    Potamonyms of the Vistula River Basin as a Part of Cultural Heritage Urszula BIJAK* There are many ways in which cultural heritage can be defined, depending on the branch of science that is dealing with this term. With no doubt, a language, including proper names, is a medium of the non-material cultural heritage. The aim of my article is to present a “hydronymic map” of the Vistula basin from the linguistic point of view. I will focus on: 1/the cultural heritage reflected by the river names, which are chronologically and genetically differentiated and represent several layers: archaic Pre- Slavic names, so-called “Old-European”, Polish, other Slavic (Czech, Slovak, Boyko, Lemko, Ukrainian, Belarusian) and non-Slavic (Baltic, German, Vlach, Latin); 2/ the image of the lingual reality constructed by the river names, the creation of names which is a result of action of a number of different motives, incentives, ways of thinking and experiencing the reality; 3/the changes of hydronyms, variability (so called polyonymy) characteristic for this onimic category coming from the lack of naming memory, collapse of naming tradition through the centuries. 1. Introduction There are many ways in which cultural heritage can be defined, depending on the branch of science that is dealing with this term. The conceptual and territorial range of the term can also differ (Lewandowska 2007). With no doubt, a language, including proper names, is a medium of the non-material cultural heritage. Hydronymy occupies a significant position within the realm of geographical names and from the beginning of the 20th century it played an important role as a research topic for linguists.
