Each geotourist venture should be related to the creation of a tourist product from the geological or post­‑mining object. This preparation to tourist traffic through the adaptation or making the object available to visitors is the primary objective which implies the series of different tasks. These tasks of geotourism, in post­‑mining objects and sites – the special type of cultural heritage resources, are presented in the paper.Execution of each task was discussed on the basis of different examples of development of post-exploitation sites all over the world, e.g. in Spain, Poland, Germany, England, and Australia. The form and scope of the geotourist tasks execution formed the base for the authors for the assessment of selected development practices, as well as the definition of application guidelines introduced in this paper. All tasks facing geotourism based on former industrial and mining facilities should form a coherent whole, covering the economic (profitability), ecological (neutrality) and socio­‑cultural aspect (social justice), and thus fit in the concept of sustainable development in tourism. These pillars should be treated equally, because only their reasonable combination has the chance to result in the creation and development of sustainable tourism.

Objectives: To estimate the incidence of acute leukemia (AL) in El Bierzo (BZ) and to carry out a cross-association analysis in order to suggest some etiological clues. Materials and Methods: We registered all new AL cases diagnosed 2000–2005. Annual standardized incidence rate (SIR) was calculated by the direct method. A cross-association analysis was performed by non-parametric methods and we checked the potential interaction between putative etiological factors by calculating Chi-square-for-trend. Results: SIR was 5.1 cases per 100 000, surpassing the Spanish, European and world average figures and heterogeneous throughout the region. We detected a negative correlation between acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) SIR in every municipality and both the air distance to the nearest thermoelectric power plant (TPP) (Rho = –0.409; p = 0.01) and to the point of maximum density of the high-power lines (HPL) network (Rho = –0.329; p = 0.04). Accordingly, SIR was higher in the municipalities situated < 7.5 km away from TPP (9.58 vs. 1.72; p = 0.004) or < 10 km away from HPL (3.90 vs. 3.19; p = 0.045). A positive relation between both factors was observed (Chi-square-for-trend = 9.209; p = 0.006). Conclusions: SIR of AL in BZ is higher than the Spanish average and that of most countries in the world. Residing near TPP or HPL confers a higher risk of AML, with synergistic effect between both factors.

Suchedniów to niewielkie miasto zlokalizowane w północnej części województwa świętokrzyskiego, w powiecie skarżyskim, około 30 km od Kielc. Ośrodek swoje początki zawdzięcza bogatym złożom surowców oraz rozwijającemu się hutnictwu żelaza. Gdy przemysł oparty na wytopie żelaza upadł, w jego miejsce pojawiły się inne obiekty przemysłowe, które zatrudniały setki pracowników. Na przełomie XX i XXI w. odnotowano wyraźny zanik przemysłu na rzecz rozwijającej się w tym regionie turystyki, zwłaszcza wypoczynkowej. Wskazuje na to m.in. rozwijająca się infrastruktura noclegowa. Bogata historia miejscowości jako prężnego centrum przemysłowego oraz liczne ślady z tego okresu w formie porzuconej infrastruktury kuźnic lub większych fabryk mogą posłużyć do ukierunkowania i dalszego rozwoju turystyki poprzez właściwe zagospodarowanie tych obiektów w Suchedniowie. Trend, jakim jest turystyka industrialna, stanowi doskonały sposób na zagospodarowanie historycznych obiektów przemysłowych, pamiętających czasy Staropolskiego czy Centralnego Okręgu Przemysłowego.

Suchedniów is a small city, located in the northern part of the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship, in the Skarżysko district, about 30 km from Kielce. The present city owes its origins to the rich deposits of raw materials and the metallurgy. When the industry based on the iron smelting has collapsed, other industrial facilities have appeared in its place, employing hundreds of peoples in this time. At the turn of the 20th and 21st century, industry was clearly disappearing in favor of developing tourism in this region, especially recreational. This is visible, among others, in intensive developing of accommodation infrastructure. The rich history of the city as a large industrial center and many traces from this period in the form of abandoned infrastructure of forges and factories can be used to direct and further develop tourism through proper use of these facilities in Suchedniów. The industrial tourism trend constitutes a great way to develop historical industrial facilities, that remember the times of Old Polish or the Central Industrial District.
