The paper outlines the genesis, the subject of protection and criteria of delimitation of ecological sites - e.g. small areas of unique values of natural environment. The author presents procedures of their creation (from natural inventory to registration) and institutions participating in this process. The paper discusses management principles of the ecological sites management and their link to planning documents - based on bans, orders and limitations. Ecological sites are not productively used and their management depends on the ownership of land on which they are situated (state, commune, private owner). It is generally difficult to obtain owner's consent for the creation of such site and therefore the majority of objects is owned by the state, especially by the forest district administration. The cases of purchasing or leasing ecologically valuable sites by the social organizations also occur. The observations prove, that ecological sites are not always registered in land cadastre and in local plans.In conclusion author postulates: - dissemination of ecological sites as the form of precious nature protection, - observing of the obligation of their recording, - creation of ecological sites monitoring and delegating their management to the nature protection services. The ecological sites are of the intrinsic value for ...
One of the forms of protection of the natural environment, according to the legal act from April 16, 2004, is an ecological site. This form has been used in Poland since 1991.The main reason of creating ecological sites is a necessity to protect small-area objects which are valuable because of their environmental and landscape virtues and which due to their small area and minor importance are not protected by any other form, for example are not reserves (Koreleski 2004, Koreleski 2005, Sammel i in. 2012, Sajnóg, Wójcik 20).This article shows chosen elements present in a process of registering and recording ecological sites. Based on the analysis of works cited and present for many years legal acts and procedures, it has been stated that there can be discrepancies between data of various registers, and especially in registers of forms of protection of the nature and The Land and Building Register (EGiB). These data are incoherent and incomplete.The aim of the paper is to identify and show reasons for such a state and also its possible ramifications. Techniques of a qualitative analysis (of legal acts and regulations excising in the last 20 years) and descriptive analysis have been used in the research.Discrepancies ...
Ecological sites and their data included in official registers are the subject of the paper. While comparing the total area of ecological sites in The Land and Building Register (EGiB) (the state for January 1, 2012) in zachodniopomorskie voivodeship with the data on various forms of environmental protection included in the same source, one can notice big discrepancies. The first data mentions the area of 4 328 ha, the other ones - 6 424 ha. One of the purposes of the paper is to check whether similar discrepancies occur in Koszalin Province and City of Koszalin.The aim of the research, whose results are presented in the paper, was to show and evaluate discrepancies between various registers on the local level containing quantitative and area data of ecological sites. The main source of information used was the register of Regional Director of Protection of Environment (RDOĊ) and EGiB. The area of Koszalin province and Koszalin itself was the object of the research. The data collected for October 1, 2013 and quantitative and qualitative analysis of documents and area analysis were used.The conducted analyses resulted in pointing out deficiencies and discrepancies in both registers and evaluating numbers and areas of ecological sites ...
