Received: 27 May 2020; Accepted: 8 July 2020; Published: 13 July 2020 Abstract: One of the priority lines of action in Poland is to increase energy production from renewable energy sources (RESs). Based on the “Poland’s national energy and climate plan for the years 2021–2030”, Poland aims to achieve 21%–23% of RES share in gross final energy consumption by 2030. While coal is still the most important source of energy, new technological and organisational solutions for increasing RESs are being tested and implemented. Therefore, the creation of energy clusters based on the idea of urban and industrial symbiosis was first proposed by the Ministry of Energy in 2016. To date, there are 66 clusters in different regions in Poland, but only a few of them are active and innovative. One of them is located in the city of Zakopane, a mountain resort, which attracts about 3 million tourists annually and has developed the wide-ranging use of geothermal sources for energy supply and recreation. The paper aims to analyse the impact of the creation of energy clusters on the city’s development, including economic, social, and environmental aspects.

  • The Tatra Mountains and Zakopane Through the Eyes of Two Artists: Witkacy and Tetmajer
    Prairie Perspectives 181 The Tatra Mountains and Zakopane through the eyes of two artists: Witkacy and Tetmajer Ania Holub and Paul Simpson-Housley York University Abstract: An author’s and an artist’s treatment of landscape reflects the categories of perception of the culture and what Thomas Hardy called the “idiosyncratic mode of regard.” Thus, there are both culturally conditioned and personal (or idiosyncratic) aspects of an artist’s mode of perception. We consider how two Polish artists/writers evaluate the Tatra-Podhale region through their perceptual filters. Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer and Stanislaw Ignacy Witkiewicz (Witkacy) provide colourful insights into their regional domain, an area which contrasts dramatically with the lowlands that cover most of the rest of Poland. A writer’s treatment of landscape reflects the categories of perception of the culture and what Thomas Hardy called ‘the idiosyncratic mode of regard’ (Hardy 1928). Thus, there are both culturally conditioned and personal (or idiosyncratic) aspects of an author’s/artist’s mode of perception. Geography has traditionally emphasized the former in its assessment of human/environment relationships. However, the artist’s personal perception conditions his/her geographic evaluation. In the case of D. H. Lawrence, the general values and categories of English Romanticism are reflected in, for example, his rather conventional contrasts between agrarian and industrial landscapes. His most successful descriptions, however, reflect primarily his intensely personal mode of perception. Lawrence was a writer of extraordinarily diverse works, yet a coherent and very quirky personal view colours everything. 182 Prairie Perspectives In other words, his pseudo philosophy provided a filter through which all is seen, and his sheer descriptive power derives to a great extent from the metaphorical energy provided by his personal view.

  • Geological Framework of the Tatra Mountains- Podhale Geothermal System (Carpathians)
    Bulletin d’Hydrogiologie No 17 (1999) Centre d’Hydrogiologie, Universiti de Neuchdtel ED~IONSPET ERLwc Geological framework of the Tatra Mountains- Podhale geothermal system (Carpathians) by J6zef Wieczorek GEOCONSULTMG, Smoluchowskiego4/1,30-083 Krak6w, Poland, in cooperation with PEC Geotermia Podhalanska S. A. Zakopane ABSTRACT The Podhale (Western Carpathians) region lying between the Tatra Mts. and the Pieniny Klippen Belt is known as an area rich in thermal water exploited for heating purposes as well as recreation (swimming pools). The thermal springs at the foot of the Tatra Mts. (Jaszczurowka, Oravice) are the surhce manifestations of an active geothermal system. Numerous drilling data have cohedthe existence of low-enthalpy geothermal reservoir under the entire Podhale basin. The thermal waters are associated with carbonates of highly fractured Nummulite Eocene and with Mesozoic rocks (carbonates of Middle Triassic, sandstones of Lower Jurassic).Two geothermal doublets were completed for themal water exploitation in the northern part of Podhale basin where thermal waters of 80-90°C occur at the depth -2000-3000m. KEVWORDS Thermal waters, geothermal system, geology, Carpathians 1. Entroduction The Podhale (Western Carpathians) region lying between the Tatra Mts. and the Pieniny Klippen Belt is known as an area rich in low-enthalpy thermal water (SOKOLOWSKI, 1992, CHOWANJEC & POPRAWA 1998). The Tatra Mts. massif elevated in Miocene and mainly in post-Miocene period form a recharge area of 350 km2however, the Pieniny Klippen Belt is considered an impermeable barrier for fluid flow. The Tatra Mts.-Podhale segment of the Inner Carpathians form an alpine-type artesian geothermal system, which is only a part of a much larger Inner Carpathian geothemml region, situated on both sides of Poland-Slovakian border around the Tatra Mts.

  • Interwar Central Europe and the Search for the Lost Mountains
    Contemporary European History (2020), 29, 16–29 doi:10.1017/S0960777319000171 ARTICLE From Neo-Slavism to Internationalism: Interwar Central Europe and the Search for the Lost Mountains Carolin F. Roeder Max Planck Institute of the History of Science, Boltzmannstraße 22, 14195 Berlin, Germany [email protected] Abstract This article highlights the contribution of East Central Europe to interwar internationalism by showing how solutions to regional challenges gave birth to the Union internationale des associations d’alpinisme (UIAA), a permanent international organisation for mountaineering. The territorial fragmentation caused by the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire required alpine clubs to lobby for the softening of new political borders while simultaneously contributing to state building efforts. Successful experiences with bilateral agreements in the Tatras and re-emerging Neo-Slavist ideas led to the founding of the Association of Slavic Tourist Organization in 1924, which in turn motivated the establishment of the UIAA. The leading figures in this process were alpinists with a distinct internationalist profile who navigated seamlessly between their role as agents of the state and private citizens. In August 1932 representatives from almost fifty alpine, tourist and ski clubs hailing from twenty countries convened at the Third International Alpine Congress in the French town of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. At a moment when international institutions proliferated, the time had come to finalise an idea that had been formulated already in the previous century: the founding of an international organisation of mountaineering.1 Large societies active in the Alps had sent their delegates to meet with organisations from overseas, including the American Alpine Club and its Canadian counterpart.

GEOTHERMAL DISTRICT HEATING SYSTEM IN PODHALE AND ZAKOPANE, POLAND – A NEW AND ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN SOLUTION FOR A TOURIST CENTRE Beata Kępińska, Joanna Jasnos AGH – University of Science and Technology, Department of Fossil Fuels A. Mickiewicza 30 Ave., 30 – 059 Krakow, Poland ABSTRACT The Podhale region (S-Poland) is a main tourist and recreation centre in the country. Along with the neighbouring areas on the Slovakian side of the Tatra Mts. it forms a very attractive international tourist and leisure destination in Central Europe. The Podhale region is also treated as a cradle for geothermal energy use for heating in Poland. The project has been developed since the end of 1980s starting from the exploration stage through the Experimental Geothermal Plant to large commercial scale. It is of essential significance to stop the degradation of Podhale ecosystem affected by intensive pollution caused by burning large quantities of hard coal for heating. The target geothermal heat sales will be around 600 TJ. Currently the system supplies considerable part of heat receivers in Zakopane (main town of the region) and some receivers in other localities. Further connections are underway. More than fifteen years of the project development brought many results of both cognitive and practical meaning for the proper long-term exploitation of the geothermal reservoir and the heating network operation.

  • In Defence of Cultural Landscape – Clerks' Parcels Zakopane
    TECHNICAL TRANSACTIONS 7/2018 ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.18.099.8794 SUBMISSION OF THE FINAL VERSION: 28/06/2018 Kazimierz Kuśnierz Dominika Kuśnierz-Krupa ([email protected]) Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology Zakopane – in defence of cultural landscape – clerks’ parcels Zakopane – w obronie krajobrazu kulturowego – parcele urzędnicze Abstract This article addresses the issue of cultural values regarding the need to protect one of the housing estates in Zakopane – known as the Clerks’ Parcels. From the north-west the area is enclosed by Sabały St., from the west by Piłsudskiego St., from the south by Czecha St., and on the east side it borders on the Faluszowy Brook. It was designed and shaped during the 1920s according to the project of the renowned architect, Karol Stryjeński. The Clerks’ Parcels area is not merely a defined, consciously shaped urban layout, but also culturally significant objects listed in the heritage register and entered in the district monument records. In the opinion of the authors of this article, the area deserves to be under a statutory form of protection, namely listed in the immovable monument register of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, which would safeguard that space against degradation and cultural annihilation. Keywords: Zakopane, Clerks’ Parcels, urban layout of Zakopane Streszczenie Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy problematyki wartości kulturowych oraz potrzeby ochrony jednej z dzielnic Zakopanego – Parceli Urzędniczych. Teren ten od północnego zachodu zamknięty jest ul. Sabały, od zachodu ul. Piłsudskiego, od południa ul. Czecha, zaś od strony wschodniej ogranicza go Faluszowy Potok.
