Using the 3D computer scanning method in the environmental impact assessment

This article presents the possibilities of using computer scanning to design a location for a sewage treatment plan taking into account its impact on the landscape. The activities undertaken could constitute a part of the proceedings carried out in performing environmental impact assessments. Completion of the goal requires literary studies and the analysis of interdisciplinary studies, including planning, land and academic research. The research has been divided into several parts, of which the first one concerns, among other things, the analysis of the value of the natural environment in a given area and analysis of the planning documents in place. The land research consists of scanning the area for the sewage treatment plant using the 3D method. The collected data will constitute the basis for the possibility of using computer scanning to visualise the development in an area of high landscape value. ...

Road projects designing in rural areas versus community participation. the case study of construction planning the western bypass of Myślenice and Bysina

The main subject of this study was the analysis of the spatial and engineering aspects of planning, which has direct application in decision making and emphasizing the role of citizens in the investment processes. The authors made an analysis of the proposed bypass road of Myślenice. It was suggested to shift the roadway to the north, which would provide a better access to the plough-lands, which would be better utilised. Such alternation was proposed according to the expectations of local inhabitants. Taking into account opinions of local communities, it was found that the route of the western bypass road of Myślenice city can be excluding the areas of Bysina village. What is also important proposed solution requires lower outlays than the primordial version of this investment. ...
