Intensified anthropogenic pressures contribute to land degradation and devastation around the globe. Land degradation leads to a temporary or a permanent decline in the productive capacity of land. Degraded agricultural land is often converted to non-agricultural uses, as the result areas with natural land cover (arable land, meadows, pastures) are transformed into anthropogenic landscapes. The objective of this study was to analyze the changes in the area of degraded land in the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship based on the scope of implemented land reclamation measures. The area of land converted for non-agricultural purposes, the revenues generated from conversion fees and their distribution were also evaluated. The analyzed data covered the period of 2007–2012.

Częścią szeroko rozumianego procesu degradacji środowiska jest degradacja i dewastacja gruntów co ma związek ze stale rosnącą ingerencją człowieka w środowisko. Objawia się ona częściowym lub całkowitym ograniczeniem zdolności produkcyjnych gruntów. Szczególnym jej przypadkiem są wyłączenia gruntów rolnych z produkcji, w wyniku której zbliżone do naturalnych formy użytkowania (grunty orne, łąki, pastwiska) przekształcane są w tereny o charakterze antropogenicznym. W pracy dokonano analizy poziomu dynamiki zmian powierzchni gruntów wymagających rekultywacji w województwie warmińsko-mazurskim w kontekście skali przeprowadzanych zabiegów rekultywacyjnych. Dodatkowo przeanalizowano poziom wyłączeń gruntów rolnych z produkcji z uwzględnieniem środków pieniężnych pozyskanych z tego tytułu i celów na które zostały wydatkowane. Okres badań dotyczył lat 2007–2012.

Between 1948 and 1989, large-scale drainage and improvement works were carried out every year in the former Czechoslovakia, which ultimately completely changed the face of the Czech Lands’ landscape. Streams, rivulets, baulks, field shrubs, dirt roads, “useless” meadows and pastures, small ponds, wetlands and swamps disappeared. In its first part, the study focusses on a brief description of the development and characteristics of land reclamation in the Czech territory from the 19th century to 1948. In its second part, it pays attention to a quite short but – from the point of view of the development of land reclamation works in the former Czechoslovakia – a very important period from 1948 to the end of the 1950s. During this time the Czech countryside experienced enormous and revolutionary property and social changes as a result of totalitarian communist policies. The private sector was, with few exceptions, liquidated, agricultural production was controlled, centralized and gradually industrialised. The way was opened for massive amelioration interventions, which became one of the symbols of the Communist regime‘s rule over the Czech and Moravian countryside, was open.

This study examines the evolution of the image of the Czech city of Most as presented in local history publications and fiction since the second half of the 20th century. During the period under study, descriptions of the city and its history have been strongly focused on the destruction of old Most to make way for further coal mining. This event continues to shape the perception of Most as an industrial city with a broken continuity of development, which is being rediscovered through its own past and efforts to reinterpret it. By analysing the themes contributing to the city´s image and the discourse capturing them, the study provides an overview of the transformed narrative surrounding the historically mediated image of Most and the context in which places of memory are created.

The reclamation of the Pinsk marshes, as envisaged in interwar Poland, was one of the most ambitious national investment projects of the era. The plan was closely linked with the concept of a trans-European waterway running through Polesie, that was also being contem¬plated around that time. The latter project was embedded in a larger discussion about Poland’s inland navigation. Eventually, neither of these projects were finalized or even begun, before the second world war broke out. This paper analyses the discourse that took place on both issues, with a particular focus on their inevitable intersection. While describing the political background of this discourse, the article reconsiders the role of the engineers as the principal, sometimes overlooked, players in these processes.
