  • Irregularity of Post Mining Deformations As Indicator Revealing Effects of Processes of Unknown Origin in Area of Bochnia
    DOI 10.4467/21995923GP.20.008.13073 GEOINFORMATICA POLONICA 19: 2020 Zbigniew Szczerbowski ORCID: 0000-0002-2398-559X IRREGULARITY OF POST MINING DEFORMATIONS AS INDICATOR REVEALING EFFECTS OF PROCESSES OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN IN AREA OF BOCHNIA AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Mining Surveying and Environmental Engineering, Krakow, Poland [email protected] Keywords: neotectonics, salt deposit, salt mining, vertical displacements, Chebyshev polynomials Abstract The presented work deals with the problem of terrain surface and rock mass deformation in the area of the Bochnia Salt Mine. The deformations are related to natural causes (mainly the tectonic stress of the Carpathian orogen) as well as anthropogenic ones related to the past mining activity conducted directly under the buildings of the town of Bochnia. The discussed charac- teristics of land surface deformation are important from the point of view of threats to surface features and contribute to spatial development. Particularly anomalous zones of observed subsidence basins are examined as places of second order deformation effects. The author presents a method of determinations of these anomalous areas and he discusses their origins. NIEREGULARNOŚĆ ODKSZTAŁCEŃ POGÓRNICZYCH JAKO WSKAŹNIK UJAWNIAJĄCY EFEKTY PROCESÓW O NIEZNANYCH PRZYCZYNACH W REJONIE BOCHNI Słowa kluczowe: neotektonika, złoża solne, górnictwo soli, przemieszczenia pionowe, wielomiany Czebyszewa Abstrakt Przestawiona praca dotyczy problematyki deformacji powierzchni i górotworu w rejonie Kopalni Soli Bochnia. Deformacje te związane są zarówno z przyczynami naturalnymi (głównie nacisk tektoniczny orogenu karpackiego), jak i antropogenicznymi związanymi z minioną aktywnością górniczą prowadzoną bezpośrednio pod zabudową miejską Bochni. Omówione charak- terystyki deformacji powierzchni terenu są istotne z punktu widzenia zagrożeń dla obiektów powierzchni oraz są elementem planowania przestrzennego.

OJCOWSKI NATIONAL PARK 25 KM – DISTANCE FROM COMPETITION CENTER Ojcowski National Park is the smallest of all Polish National Parks. It is characterized by various fauna, flora and, above all, extremely interesting characte- ristics of the area - typical for the Jura Krakowsko- Częstochowska. Places worth to see: the „On the Water” Chapel, the ruins of the medieval Ojców Castle, Maczuga Herkulesa (the Hercules Cudgel) and the Łokietek Cave. www.wawelcup.pl 2 KRAKOW’S MOUNDS 0 KM – DISTANCE FROM COMPETITION CENTER The mound is a form of soil formed in the shape of a cone. In ancient times, the mounds played the role of a cult, defense, observation point or served as burial sites. Later, they were erected as places to commemo- rate important historical events. The best-known ones are Krakus Mound, Kościuszko Mound and Pilsudski Mound located in the area of the competition (Model Event and V Stage). Recommended for romantic walks and for viewing the beautiful panorama of Krakow ;) OLD TOWN 3KM – DISTANCE FROM COMPETITION CENTER The Old Town is an absolutely unique and „must be” area for everyone coming to Krakow. The Main Market Square is one of the largest squares of this type in Europe.

This paper examines three cases of salt mining in different European countries, namely Wieliczka in Poland, Campina de Cima in Portugal, and Turda in Romania. They are analyzed in the context of history, typical attributes of their attractiveness, and new uses after the salt extraction was or is going to be stopped, in order to detect their unique values as important assets for both Underground Built Heritage (UBH) and Salt Heritage Tourism (SHT). The results of their comparison show that despite a positive impact related to their protection as cultural and industrial heritage, there are also some negative aspects related to increasing costs Citation: Kimic, K.; Smaniotto Costa, C.; Negulescu, M.

  • Project Co-Financed by the European Regional Development Fund Under the Operational Programme Innovative Economy the GUIDEBOOK
    Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the Operational Programme Innovative Economy THE GUIDEBOOK A CONDITION OF POLISH MONUMENTS PROTECTION AND MAINTENANCE INDUSTRY YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 2012 onuments conservation and protection are fields in which MPoland – in spite of historical conditions, or maybe thanks to them – has been excelling other countries. Long lasting period of lack of sovereignty and threat of losing the national identity made Polish scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, as well as people from outside the aforementioned branch of industry, to focus on saving historical buildings and masterpieces of art for future generations. A combination of unfavorable occurrences, paradoxically, created the necessity to prepare ways and methods of conservation, which - as it turned out later – were crucial for development of the monu- ments protection industry in other countries as well. Reconstruc- tion of historical settlements, carried out on a great, unprecedent- ed scale, made the Polish conservation-related concepts, as well as their executors well known in all places in the world, where the outcomes of natural disasters or human activities has created ne- cessity to revitalize damaged objects. In many cases, training new craftsmen in teams of conservators translated to education of top class professionals, who become extremely wanted experts very quickly and were members of teams saving numerous monuments from destruction all over the world, including those, which are registered on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Rich experiences from archeological missions, combined with innovative approach, based on direct cooperation of professional from various fields, re- sulted in development of interdisciplinary approach to cultural her- itage protection – which is nowadays considered rather obvious.
