UNEXPLOITED POTENTIAL OF REVITALISATION IN SILESIA PROVINCE AREA - CASE STUDY
Abstract
Silesia Province, which is located in the southern part of Poland, belongs to regions with the most degraded lands in the whole country. According to the ?Environmental Protection 2017? (in Polish ?Ochrona ?rodowiska 2017?) report, prepared by the Central Statistical Offiice, in 2016 there were about 4900 ha of devastated and degraded areas in Silesia Province, which required reclamation. The reason for the occurrence of degraded lands in this area is the intensive exploitation and processing of natural resources. Currently, the awareness of owners of post-industrial areas, city authorities, investors and society on use and development of these lands, is still increasing. Revitalisation of post-mining areas is a response to the needs and expectations of the society, that mainly benefits from the taken actions and feels the effects. Proper post-minig lands development allows to restore the natural environment balance and to increase the attractiveness of the region not only for the society, but also for investors. In the literature, there are many examples of projects concerning the development of post-mining areas, which have been revitalised and successfully completed. However, still many areas have been forgotten and have not received any action from city authorities or private owners so far. This article aims at presenting the area located in Silesia Province, whose revitalisation potential has not been exploited, as well as at identifying the directions of revitalisation on this land. This article is a case study of one selected post-mining area, in which the authors also have made an attempt to determine a direction for its future development.
