The article analyzes the programs, studies, plans and strategies for space management with regard to these events. The analysis showed that not all municipalities in a similar way in addressing the threats. And strategic planning documents do not prohibit development in areas at risk, only they determine that the investment risk borne by the investor. In case of drought analyzed the community to a very small extent, they refer to this phenomenon - although the task in terms of unblocking irrigation ditches and restoration of watercourses exist in each of the surveyed municipalities. In the era of climate change and the occurrence of extreme weather update planning documents and strategic issues of the occurrence and threat protection they are indeed the duty, since they increase safety of life, work and inverter rural areas. ...

ENVIRONMENTAL REVITALIZATION OF URBAN INTERIOR ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE SELECTED QUARTER IN WROCŁAW

The aim of revitalization is to "revive space" and to transform degraded urban areas to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants and to bring out the potential of the place. Nowadays, an additional spatial problem is becoming more and more densely built areas devoid of designed greenery and recreational areas. In recent years the urbanization process has resulted in excessive sealing of the pavement and consequently increases the flow of precipitation into storm and combined sewers, which can lead to environmental degradation. This also applies with the lack of willingness to live in the open air and consequently also the deterioration in the quality of life of the inhabitants and their health. The alternative to traditional water management is to stop the water at its place of occurrence, possibly slowing down its surface runoff and draining it. The presented research is intended to illustrate the challenge of creating spatial guidelines, to improve the microclimate and to involve residents in the rehabilitation process of the degraded environment. The focus was mainly on the residential quarter, located in the north-eastern part of Wroclaw. Both spatial and social aspects have been taken into account. In this paper, however, the economic factor is ...
