The article presents the spatial-functional transformations of a medium-sized post-industrial city in the context of the decline in the industrial function which used to occupy a prominent position in the city. The research attempts to answer the following questions: (1) What has been reflected in the spatial and functional development of the city...
In this study, the river system and the surface drainage system (SDS) operating during heavy rainfall in two Carpathian catchments located in foothills and medium-high mountain areas were compared. The results revealed that regardless of the differences in the river systems and physiographical parameters of the catchments, the SDS operating during...
This study demonstrates a human impact on the development of active drainage network (ADN) operating during heavy rainfall in a medium-high relief flysch catchment. The ADN was reconstructed with the use of ALS-LiDAR data. The results have revealed that the density of the ADN (11.2 km∙km⁻²) is c.a. 5 times higher compared to the river system (2.2 k...
Study region
Poland, Carpathians, Gorce Mountains, Jamne and Jaszcze catchments.
Study focus
The hydrological response to, and geomorphic impacts of, a 18 July 2018 flood involving two small catchments (each covering less than 12 km²) that were not hydrologically controlled were examined. A peak flood discharge was simulated with two hydrological...
Changes of the natural environment in health resorts located in the Polish Carpathian
Mountains after the political transformation period The paper shows the correlation between changes in the natural environment in the Polish Carpathians and the development of its tourist attractive areas. Transformations of the environment is shown through land c...
Hydrological investigations require the development of a geodatabase allowing for the calculation of physiographic catchment parameters, as well as the analysis of amounts of water resources and changes therein. Such a geodatabase usually consists of meteorological, hydrological and cartographic data. The present study offers a review of datasets t...
Three pairs of small, fourth- to sixth-order catchments (approximately 5–80 km2), draining the margin of the Darjeeling Himalayas into the piedmont, were selected for a comparison of the land-use impact on the morphology and sedimentology of their stream channels. Each pair experienced similar annual rainfall and comprised similar metamorphic bedro...
Streszczenie: W niniejszym artykule ukazano zależności pomiędzy zmianami pokrycia terenu a poziomem rozwoju lokalnego w polskich Karpatach. Badania prowadzono w jednostkach administracyjnych (miasta i wsie). Zmiany w pokryciu terenu analizowano na podstawie danych z bazy Corine Land Cover z lat 1990-2012, korzystając z autorskiego wskaźnika: zmian...
W niniejszym artykule ukazano zależności pomiędzy zmianami pokrycia terenu a poziomem rozwoju lokalnego w polskich Karpatach. Badania prowadzono w jednostkach administracyjnych (miasta i wsie). Zmiany w pokryciu terenu analizowano na podstawie danych z bazy Corine Land Cover z lat 1990–2012, korzystając z autorskiego wskaźnika: zmian struktury pokr...
A surface drainage system (SDS) controls catchment hydrology and acts as an indicator of geomorphologic processes. In this study, a field-based and GIS-integrated approach enabling reconstruction of a surface drainage system, which operates during heavy rainfall in small flysch catchments, has been proposed. The reconstruction is based on the ALS-L...
Land use and land cover (LULC) changes and their impact on the mountain environment were studied in six catchments (~10 km2 each) in the Polish Western Carpathians from the mid-19th century to the early 21st century. The analysis of cadastral and orthophoto maps indicates that during the investigated period, the forest area increased, quantified by...
During heavy rainfall natural-origin (valleys) and man-origin elements are combined and operate as one ’real’ surface drainage system (SDS). Knowledge about the parameters of the SDS is important as this system controls catchment hydrology and geomorphology. In this study, the use of the GIS analyses, for reconstruction the SDS functioning during h...
Short-duration extreme rainfall and flash floods are the major natural hazards in small Carpathian catchments. Quantifying forcing rainfall, hydrological responses and geomorphological impacts is the key to mitigating the negative impacts of flash floods. This article focuses on the hydrometeorological aspects of a flood event, the geomorphological...
W poznaniu mechanizmów formowania się powodzi błyskawicznych istotna
jest informacja o parametrach systemu drenażu powierzchniowego. System ten składa się z elementów
pochodzenia naturalnego (doliny) oraz antropogenicznego (np. drogi, rowy, bruzdy itp.).
W artykule dokonano oceny numerycznych modeli terenu (NMT) dostępnych dla obszaru Polski,

The Brzanka Mountain Range in the Ciężkowickie Foothills has a dense river network. Unfortunately the contemporary maps contain only the names of some main rivers of the Brzanka Mountain Range. Local communities use the same set of names of rivers as cartographers, while studies in the historical geography of the Brzanka Mountain Range reveal a wea...
The study is focused on hydrological response of a catchment to rainfall in extremely humid monsoonal climate region at the Meghalaya Plateau (India) near Cherrapunji. This area has been rarely investigated due to the lack of the detailed hydro-meteorological data. Hourly rainfall data were collected between 1999 and 2009 and hydrological data obta...
Roads affect the geomorphological changes of gradients, the sedimentary budget and the hydrological response of a catchment. This study deals with the development and temporary evolution of an unpaved road network in the Polish Carpathians. The analysis focuses on the mid-nineteenth and the beginning of the twenty-first century, and was conducted i...
The road network complements the natural drainage network and accelerates the water cycle in the catchment. In this study the methodology enabling for inclusion of a road network into a simple rainfall-runoff routing model was proposed. The road network was included into the surface drainage system and quantified as the Horton's ratios. The bifurca...
Streszczenie: Jedną z podstawowych informacji używanych w geografii oraz gospodarce przestrzen-nej są mapy użytkowania/pokrycia terenu. Stosowane są one w praktyce np. do symulacji i przewidywania zdarzeń katastrofalnych, wyznaczania stref zagrożeń itp. Od 1990 r. Polska uczestniczy w projekcie CORINE Land Cover (CLC), który zajmuje się tworzeniem...
Ewolucja sieci komunikacyjnej jest odzwierciedleniem przemian społecznych i gospodarczych za-chodzących na Pogórzu Karpackim. Pierwotna sieć głównych szlaków komunikacyjnych uzależniona była ściśle od warunków terenowych. Wraz z rozwojem gospodarczym regionu i postępem technicznym zaczęto budować drogi na terenach wcześniej uznanych za niekorzystne...
W południowej Polsce czynniki historyczne, społeczne, gospodarcze i mentalne doprowadziły do rozdrobnienia areału gruntów rolnych i leśnych. Proces ten rozpoczął się w XIV wieku wraz z pierwszymi masowymi zasiedleniami. Wraz z powstawaniem nowych pól rozrastała się sieć dróg dojazdowych. Współcześnie gęstość dróg polnych w Karpatach sięga 9 km/km²,...
