Recreational areas, especially with a large proportion of varied vegetation cover, play a key role in the agglomeration. They provide multiple opportunities for active recreation and leisure in an urban environment with characteristics similar to natural ones, but created by man. Curitiba is a city which is a good example of the design “according to nature,” which was initiated in the seventies by Mayor Jamie Larmier. Now the city can boast a very high percentage of green areas per inhabitant (up to 51,5 m2 per capita). In 1996, the city was recognized by the World Forum for Habitat II as the most innovative city in the world, particularly in terms of communication, environmental, and social solutions. The aim of this article is to analyze the multicultural urban recreation area of Curitiba, in particular, urban parks, forest parks and other recreational facilities, as well as, the factors determining their development, presentation of their specificity and diversity in the context of new trends, and the needs of the development of recreation in the city.

This paper is an introduction to studies of Urban Beautification Societies (“UBSs” in the plural) active in times of Galicia’s autonomy (1867–1914). The Societies were community organisations set up in many cities and towns across Galicia from the 1880s onwards with a view to improve the aesthetic in public urban space. To Galicia, years of its autonomy yielded years of considerable expansion of civic freedoms, including the re-enacted right to association. Formed by individuals with university education, UBSs were popular throughout Galicia, their structure frequently reflecting the local cross-section and specificity of social strata. Established in large, medium-sized, and small cities and towns (such as Cracow and Lviv; Przemyśl; Wadowice and Wieliczka), they attempted to reach their goals chiefly through establishing urban parks and green squares (often as not with accompanying infrastructure, such as tennis courts or bowling alleys); planting trees in market and other public squares and along communication routes; developing aesthetically pleasing small architecture; and taking initiative to erect monuments and install commemorative plaques, usually commissioned with eminent artists. The latter – in large cities in particular, where art communities were large and powerful – were occasionally UBS co-organisers and members, and thus capable of considerable influence over any Society activities, potentially including publishing, graphic artists and painters especially prominent therein.

It is well known that green areas are a significant component of urban environment. Plants influence urban conditions in many ways; they have a positive effect on both people’s health and environmental issues, there are many reasons why the proportion of green areas in cities should be increased. It is important to take advantage of plant properties and suitable methods of shaping green areas to benefit nature. The article emphasizes the importance of comprehensive environmental protection. It presents selected methods of shaping green areas and nursing plants, which are in common use in Western Europe and USA, but are under-used in Poland, the main aim of the article is to propose solutions which allow to shape green areas in the Ursynów district of Warsaw in favor of environmental protection e.g. in a way that makes it possible to preserve biodiversity or reduce drink water use.

In urban space, there is a growing need for urban greenery in undeveloped and degraded areas, as well as the need to revitalize already existing urban greenery, which has been neglected and has become a crisis area. Green areas play a key role in every city and are an integral part of every city. They provide aeration of the city, transport corridors for migratory birds, stop rainwater, reduce air temperature. Their presence in urban space is particularly important in the context of growing urban development. For urban residents they are equally important because they are meeting and resting places. The paper presents the proposal of revitalization solutions for urban green areas of the Pruszków on the example of Potulickich Park.
PL
W przestrzeni miasta zauważa się coraz większą potrzebę tworzenia zieleni miejskiej na terenach niezagospodarowanych i zdegradowanych, jak również rewitalizacji już istniejącej, która zaniedbana ulega degradacji i staje się obszarem kryzysowym. Tereny zieleni odgrywają kluczową rolę w każdym mieście i są jego nieodłącznym elementem. Zapewniają one przewietrzanie miasta, stanowią korytarze komunikacyjne dla ptaków wędrownych, zatrzymują wody opadowe, obniżają temperaturę powietrza. Ich obecność w przestrzeni miejskiej jest szczególnie ważna w kontekście zwiększającej się zabudowy. Dla mieszkańców miast są one równie ważne, ponieważ stanowią miejsca spotkań i wypoczynku. W artykule przedstawiono propozycję rozwiązań rewitalizacyjnych dla obszarów zieleni miejskiej Pruszkowa na przykładzie Parku Potulickich.

Celem pracy było określenie stopnia zasiedlania terenów zurbanizowanych przez poszczególne gatunki małych ssaków związanych z podłożem, a co za tym idzie ich tolerancji na zmiany w środowiskach wywołane urbanizacją i częstą penetracją ludzką. Badania przeprowadzono w aglomeracji warszawskiej i na terenach ją otaczających w promieniu 50 km od centrum miasta. Wykorzystano zbiory zrzutek puszczyka Strix aluco zebrane na 85 stanowiskach. Analiza materiału kostnego wykazała 15152 osobniki drobnych ssaków. Gatunkami, które najsilniej penetrowały aglomerację miejską były: Apodemus agrarius, Mus musculus, Talpa europaea, Rattus norvegicus i Microtus subterraneus. Najbliższe centrum stanowiska tych gatunków znajdowały się w odległości 1,3–2,3 km. Natomiast Microtus agrestis, Mustela nivalis, Arvicola amphibius, Neomys fodiens, Muscardinus avellanarius i Sicista betulina wykazały największy stopień unikania środowisk miejskich, a ich stanowiska najbliższe centrum znajdowały się odpowiednio w odległości: 8,2, 8,6, 8,6, 11,2, 17,8 i 20,2 km. Gatunkami, których udział w diecie sów najbardziej zmniejszał się wraz z oddalaniem się od centrum aglomeracji miejskiej, były: A. agrarius i T. europaea, podczas gdy odwrotną zależność wykazano dla M. agrestis i M. avellanarius. Małe ssaki związane z podłożem są wrażliwe na postępującą urbanizację terenu i fragmentację ich środowisk, o czym świadczy fakt, że centralna część aglomeracji warszawskiej była zasiedlana jedynie przez ok. 1/3 gatunków lokalnej fauny.

The degree of penetration of urban habitats by small terrestrial mammals was studied in Warsaw agglomeration and in adjacent areas up to 50 km from the city centre. Study material consisted of pellets of the tawny owl Strix aluco collected in 85 sites, which contained 15,152 remains of individuals of small mammals. The species that penetrated city agglomeration most intensively were: Apodemus agrarius, Mus musculus, Talpa europaea, Rattus norvegicus and Microtus subterraneus. Most central sites of these species were situated 1.3–2.3 km from the city centre. Microtus agrestis, Mustela nivalis, Arvicola amphibius, Neomys fodiens, Muscardinus avellanarius and Sicista betulina showed the lowest degree of penetration of an urban agglomeration (sites closest to the city centre: 8.2, 8.6, 8.6, 11.2, 17.8 and 20.2 km, respectively). Species, whose share among the owls’ prey decreased most with the distance from the city centre, were: A. agrarius and T. europaea. The reverse pattern was found for M. agrestis and M. avellanarius. Small terrestrial mammals are sensitive to the proceeding urbanization and the central part of Warsaw agglomeration is penetrated by only 1/3 of species of the local fauna.
