Abstract. A major release of methane from the Nord Stream pipelines occurred in the Baltic Sea on 26 September 2022. Elevated levels of methane were recorded at many observational sites in northern Europe. While it is relatively straightforward to estimate the total emitted amount from the incidents (around 330 kt of methane), the detailed vertical and temporal distributions of the releases are needed for numerical simulations of the incident. Based on information from public media and basic physical concepts, we reconstructed vertical profiles and temporal evolution of the methane releases from the broken pipes and simulated subsequent transport of the released methane in the atmosphere. The parameterization for the initial rise of the buoyant methane plume has been validated with a set of large-eddy simulations by means of the UCLALES model. The estimated emission source was used to simulate the dispersion of the gas plume with the SILAM chemistry transport model. The simulated fields of the excess methane led to a noticeable increase in concentrations at several carbon-monitoring stations in the Baltic Sea region. Comparison of the simulated and observed time series indicated an agreement within a couple of hours between the timing of the plume arrival/departure at the stations with observed methane peaks. Comparison of absolute levels was quite uncertain. At most of the stations the magnitude of the observed and modeled peaks was comparable with the natural variability of methane concentrations. The magnitude of peaks at a few stations close to the release was well above natural variability; however, the magnitude of the peaks was very sensitive to minor uncertainties in the emission vertical profile and in the meteorology used to drive SILAM. The obtained emission inventory and the simulation results can be used for further analysis of the incident and its climate impact. They can also be used as a test case for atmospheric dispersion models.

Abstract. Tropical-tropopause-layer cirrus clouds and their radiative effects represent a major uncertainty in the evaluation of Earth’s energy budget. High-altitude aircraft offer an opportunity to provide observations at cirrus cloud altitudes, most commonly using in situ measurements of ice particle optical properties and composition. In particular, remote sensing of scattering properties and near-IR ice water absorption in the limb can provide unique insights into thin and sub-visible cirrus clouds. Here we present novel spectroscopic observations of path-averaged ice water absorptions on board NASA’s Global Hawk aircraft during the Airborne Tropical TRopopause Experiment (ATTREX), which took place in 2011, 2013, and 2014. The University of California Los Angeles and University of Heidelberg mini-differential optical absorption spectroscopy (mini-DOAS) instrument provided multi-angle limb-scanning observations of scattered solar radiation in the near-IR (900–1726 nm), allowing the identification of ice and liquid water, O2, CO2, and H2O. The VLIDORT-QS radiative transfer (RT) code was specifically developed for this study and used to simulate high-altitude limb observations for varied cloud scenarios. We performed a comprehensive sensitivity study, developing a fundamental understanding of airborne near-IR limb observations of cirrus clouds. We identified two general distinct cases: a linear regime for optically thin clouds, where the ice absorption is proportional to ice water content (IWC), and a regime for optically thick cirrus clouds, where ice absorption is in saturation and independent of IWC. Results also demonstrate how molecular oxygen absorption can be used to infer information on optical properties of ice particles in the second regime only, with minimal information for thin cirrus clouds. We also explored the feasibility of retrieving IWC from mini-DOAS path-averaged ice water absorption (SIWP) measurements. This innovative interpolation-based approach requires a small number of RT calculations per observation to determine the sensitivity of SIWP to IWC. Spectral retrievals were applied for a particularly interesting case during Science Flight 2 over Guam in February 2014, during which the aircraft flew in circles in the same general area for an extended period of time. Retrieved IWC results are consistent with independent in situ measurements from other instruments on board. The measurements of ice particle scattering and absorption at different azimuths relative to the sun and at different altitudes represent a unique opportunity to test our approach and to infer properties of the ice particles, together with information on cirrus cloud radiative transfer.

Published: April 2024

Abstract. Assessing long-term air quality trends helps evaluate the effectiveness of adopted air pollution control policies. A decade of SAFAR observations revealed that the trend of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) in Delhi shows a reduction of 2.98 ± 0.53 µg/m3/y (4.91 ± 1.01 µg/m3/y) or overall 29 % (23.7 %) reduction between 2011 and 2021 while vehicles almost doubled but with the implementation of cleaner technologies and stricter industrial regulation. Seasonal negative trends of pre-monsoon (March-April-May; -3.43 ± 1.02 µg/m3/y) and post-monsoon (October–November; -4.51 ± 1.59 µg/m3/y) are relatively higher. The role of trends in dust storms, fire counts and annual rainy days are also discussed. The contribution of meteorology to the trend is estimated using WRF-Chem simulation of PM2.5 for October when maximum stubble burning occurs and gets transported to Delhi. The model is run with the meteorological initial conditions of 2018, 2015, and 2011 while keeping the emissions of 2018 with identical model configuration and found that meteorology contributed 9.8 % in October, while the observed decline in PM2.5 is 35 % (best fit) and 25 % (value). The study identifies the governmental control measures at various levels and green initiatives as the significant contributors to air quality improvement during 2011–2021.

Abstract. Aerosol-cloud interactions, and particularly ice crystals in mixed-phase clouds (MPC), stand as a key source of uncertainty in climate change assessments. State-of-the-art laboratory-based parameterizations were introduced into a global chemistry-transport model to investigate the contribution of mineral dust, marine primary organic aerosol (MPOA), and terrestrial primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) to ice nucleating particles (INP) in MPC. INP originating from PBAP (INPPBAP) are found to be the primary source of INP at low altitudes between -10 °C and -20 °C, particularly in the tropics, with a pronounced peak in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) during boreal summer. INPPBAP contributes about 27 % (in the NH) and 30 % (in the SH) of the INP population. Dust-derived INP (INPD) show a prominent presence at high altitudes in all seasons, dominating at temperatures below -25 °C, constituting 68 % of the INP average column burden. MPOA-derived INP (INPMPOA) dominate in the Southern Hemisphere (SH), particularly at subpolar and polar latitudes at low altitudes for temperatures below -16 °C, representing approximately 46 % of INP population in the SH. When evaluated against available global observational INP data, the model achieves its highest predictability across all temperature ranges when both INPD and INPMPOA are included. The additional introduction of INPPBAP slightly reduces model skills for temperatures lower than -16 oC; however, INPPBAP are the main contributors to warm-temperature ice nucleation events. Therefore, consideration of dust and marine and terrestrial bioaerosol as IPN precursors is required to simulate ice nucleation in climate models. In this respect, emissions, ice-nucleating activity of each particle type and its evolution during atmospheric transport require further investigations.

Published: April 2024

Abstract. This study aims to analyze future snowmelt runoff and snow extent for the Upper Euphrates Basin (41 109 km2) which is the most upstream basin of the water tower Mesopotamia and located in the Eastern mountainous part of Türkiye. The future characterization of snowmelt runoff and snow water equivalent is investigated taking the regional climate model projections into account through hydrological model applications. The basin is divided into two major sub-basins Karasu Basin and Murat Basin. The conceptual hydrological models, HBV and HEC-HMS have been utilized to establish a rainfall-runoff relationship. The models are calibrated and validated with observed daily total precipitation and average temperature data for the 1980–2011 period. Future projections are selected for the 2025–2100 periods using EU-CORDEX data with various global circulation models. MPI-ESM-LR and CNRM-CM5 data sets and RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios are used for future projections. The results indicate a decrease in snow cover extent and an increase in snowmelt runoff. The overall assessment will help us to understand how these changes will affect the operations of water resources systems (downstream reservoirs) in terms of flood control, energy production, irrigation, water supply, etc.

Abstract. Water resources management relies on the use of hydrometric data collected mainly from in situ stations. Despite the efforts made in setting up and maintaining a network of hydrometric and meteorological stations, water resource managers face many problems, such as equipment degradation during floods, incidents of vandalism and issues related to inaccessibility. Satellite data can improve water resources monitoring, regardless of its objectives (strategic management of water resources, management of structures, forecasting of floods and low flows, etc.). These data have the advantage of covering the entire world at regular intervals, including difficult-to-access areas. Through several projects, various scientific and industrial partners (IRD, CNES, CLS, CNRS, CENEAU, etc.) have contributed to assess and enhance the use of satellite data for the management of water resources at the scale of a catchment (e.g. the Amazon) or a territory (Uganda). The objective is to deliver a method based on the combination of hydrological models, in-situ data and satellite data. This article presents the current possibilities and limitations of using satellite data to optimize the monitoring of water resources.
Return periods in current and future climate
Authors: Rosbjerg Dan
Published: April 2024

Abstract. For Danish conditions, discrete rain intensity climate factors for a 100-year time horizon are generalized to continuous curves as functions of the return period. Assuming the tails of the distribution functions for T-year events to be approximately exponential, a general formula for projecting current return periods into future return periods is developed. Moreover, the uncertainty of the future T-values due to uncertainty in the climate factor is approximately assessed using first order analysis.

Authors: Serrano Jonathan S. , Herrera Eugene C. , Naito Kensuke
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Typhoon Vamco in 2020 costed the Philippines over PHP 19 billion in damages. One of the heavily affected floodplains is the Marikina River floodplain. Discharges of up to 2582 m3 s−1 along Marikina River were noted. This is the strongest flashflood incident in the area after Typhoon Ketsana in 2009. This study aims to investigate the hydraulics of flood development within the Marikina River floodplain during Typhoon Vamco using numerical modeling. The hydraulic model in HEC-RAS utilized a 1 m LIDAR DTM, calibrated discharges from a hydrologic model and water levels as upstream and downstream boundary conditions, respectively, and a rain-on-grid input. Results showed a max inundation area of ∼ 75 km2 and flood depths of up to 4 m which accounts for the damages in some municipalities and cities in Metro Manila and Rizal Province. Model validation showed the simulated peak level (11.31 m a.s.l.) to be only 1.0 % lower than the peak observed water level (11.43 m a.s.l.). Model results can be used for measures to minimize risk and damages.
Evaluation of climate change impacts on urban flooding using high-resolution rainfall data
Authors: Amaguchi Hideo , Olsson Jonas , Kawamura Akira , Imamura Yoshiyuki
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Evaluation of the effects of climate change on urban river flow has traditionally depended on design rainfall data due to the scarcity of other data sources. However, high-resolution precipitation data, both temporally and spatially, have become accessible from regional climate models. Despite this availability, few studies have tapped into such high-resolution data to analyze urban river flow systems. This study incorporates an event-based storm runoff and inundation simulation with data from a regional climate model. This model offers a spatial resolution of 5 km and a temporal resolution of 10 min for both current and projected future climate scenarios. Rainfall analysis reveals that the 20-year probability of an hourly rainfall of 75 mm, specific to Tokyo, decreases to around 13 years for the period 2016–2035 and further to approximately 8 years for 2076–2095. This trend indicates a growing frequency of heavy rainfall events. Moreover, flood discharge analysis shows an increased downstream flow during such rainfall events if reservoir capacities remain unchanged. Flood risk assessment underscores a significant threat: areas inundated to depths of 25 cm or more may increase by 1.25 times for 2016–2035 and by 1.55 times for the period 2076–2095 when compared to current conditions.

Abstract. Mahaweli basin is the largest river basin in Sri Lanka which receives high-intensity rainfall reasoned to frequent flooding. Mahaweli River passes through Victoria, Randenigala and Rantambe reservoirs which cater for drinking, irrigation, hydropower, and environmental water requirements. These reservoirs contribute to 63 % of the hydropower production of the country. The development of flood control methods for this cascade will mitigate flash floods and lower the risk of reservoir spill during peak hours. Therefore, a system dynamic model is developed using VENSIM software to analyse the complex correlation between flood storage and power flow considering short-term weather prediction. Model predictive controls are applied to analyse the system to enhance power generation through storage optimization. This brings direct economic benefits and be a sustainable solution for the energy crisis provoked by the economic loss that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Investigation of Uncertainties in Multi-variable Bias Adjustment in Multi-model Ensemble
Authors: Kelkar Saurabh , Dairaku Koji
Published: April 2024

Abstract. Post-processing methods such as univariate bias adjustment have been widely used to reduce the bias in the individual variable. These methods are applied to variables independently without considering the inter-variable dependence. However, in compound events, multiple atmospheric factors occur simultaneously or in succession, leading to more severe and complex impacts. Therefore, a multi-variable bias adjustment is necessary to retain the inter-variable dependence between the atmospheric drivers. The present study focuses on a multi-variable bias adjustment of surface air temperature and relative humidity in a multi-model ensemble. We investigated added values and biases before and after adjusting the variables. There are gains and losses throughout the process of adjustment. The bias adjustment effectively reduces bias in surface air temperature; however, it shows bias amplification for relative humidity at higher altitudes. Added values were improved at lower altitudes but showed reductions in surface air temperature at higher altitudes. Overall, the bias adjustment shows improvement in reducing bias over low-altitude urban areas, encouraging its application to assess compound events. These findings highlight a potential bias adjustment approach for the regions with a constraint on observational data.
Building disaster prevention capacity in a continental scale country: the trajectory and experience of the Geological Survey of Brazil

Published: April 2024

Abstract. The goal of this paper is to share the trajectory and current results of the training program on disaster risk reduction from the Geological Survey of Brazil (GSB) as well as the challenges and perspectives for future development. The risks faced by a society are determined by the hazards presented by nature and by the cultural norms of how society decides to deal with them. Historically Brazil has had spontaneous urban growth, which led to the occupation of naturally hazardous areas. The National Plan of Protection and Civil Defense Act of 2012 led to an increase in responsibility of the central government to support local governments in disaster prevention. In 2007 the SGB established its training program for disaster prevention capacity building, and a decade and a half later around 3500 people have received entry level education in risk management. Due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the SGB implemented distance learning courses, with significant impact.

Published: April 2024

Abstract. Flow simulation using artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the modelling has been widely applied and has gained prominence in regions lacking data. The hydrological variables are subject to the influence of morphological characteristics and urbanization in the watershed. Statistical models, such as ANNs, need to be able to identify the relationship between the hydrological inputs and outputs of the model, without explicitly considering the other relationships involved in physical processes. This work aimed to apply a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network for predicting flows in an urban basin subject to recurrent floods, using precipitation and flow data from previous periods as inputs. After model calibration and validation for the current state of the basin (2018–2019), its responses were analysed using input data before the basin urbanization (1985–1986) to identify the error behaviour at the output as a proxy for the basin changes effect. Its efficiency was evaluated using hydrographs, showing satisfactory results in both periods. In the urbanization period, there is more dispersion for maximum flows. For the day 4 steps back in the current forecast, NSE = 0.59 was observed, whereas in the other period, NSE = 0.70. The evaluation of the models for the current period of basin urbanization showed that the model could capture the basin's physical dynamics within the established static relationship. Also, the result found in the statistical relationships for the inputs showed once again the impact of urbanization on the basin.

Diagnosis of maxillary compression syndrome
Authors: Calfa Sabina , Trifan Valentina , Storojov Iulian , Septelici Ana-Maria
Published: April 2024

Introduction. Upper maxillary compression syndrome is characterized by a deficit in transversal development and is recognized within the classification system of the German school. Regardless of the schools’ affiliation according to which this malocclusion is classified, the objective is to determine and select the treatment method with maximum efficiency. Thus, the compression of the upper jaw can also be included as a component in class II subdivision 1 malocclusions, presenting in 2 clinical forms. In addition, the types of palatal suture and their impact on the development of the maxilla in the transverse plane were identified. The purpose of the study was to assess the importance of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) n providing a comprehensive diagnosis of this malocclusion and formulating an elaborate treatment plan. Material and methods. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 165 patients were enrolled in the study. The research included patients with jaw compression syndrome diagnosed orthodontically during the mixed and permanent dentition periods. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the stages of formation of the medio-palatine suture, correlating with their biological age. The research sample was calculated using ANOVA program: fixed effects, omnibus, one-way Analysis. Results. Determining the shape and degree of formation of the median palatal suture at the ages studied in the research, favors the selection of modality, type, and speed of expansion. These factors are directly related to the stage of formation of the palatal suture, which may or may not coincide with the patient’s biological age. CBCT is the method of choice for assessing this. Furthermore, the range of movement in millimeters that can be achieved after separating the upper jaw can be determined, regardless of the type of expansion. Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the data, we can appreciate the variety of expansion methods depending on the degree of formation of the medio-palatine suture. Through a comprehensive paraclinical examination and accurate interpretation, we can establish the definitive diagnosis of this clinical entity and create a treatment plan that minimizes the chance of recurrence.
Surgical approaches in pituitary neuroendocrine tumors
Authors: Croitoru Dan , Andronachi Victor , Visnevschi Sergiu , Dumitrasco Ana-Maria
Published: April 2024

Introduction. Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors account for 3.9-7.4/100.000 of central nervous system tumors in the Western world. They are particularly noteworthy, comprising 10-15% of all cases, with a higher prevalence in the 75-79 age group. In the Republic of Moldova, these tumors account for 34% of cases in postmortem examinations while remain an actual theme of discussion in the ENDO WHO congress and are regarded as a factor, which may influence the quality of life (QOL). Material and methods. We have critically revised 66 literary sources, which were selected using the PubMed library after introducing the keywords “pituitary adenoma surgical approach”. Results. The main surgical approaches were the transsphenoidal (transnasal, sublabial and endonasal) and transcranial (subfrontal unilateral/bilateral, fronto-lateral, fronto-temporal and median basilar) while the additional surgical approaches were designed for complicated and unusual pituitary neuroendocrine tumors and included combined versions, multiple surgeries or extended approaches. Numerous factors were influential for the selection of a surgical approach concerning the pituitary neuroendocrine tumors. They are not sensible for a type of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor according to the WHO classification while the size of a tumor may dictate its surgical approach. Conclusion. Each surgical intervention requires a personalized approach and the critical thinking of the surgical team but most of them can be systematically considered before confronting the tumor in an intraoperatory environment because most of the preoperatory investigations are proven unreliable. There is no established superior surgical approach for each surgical intervention.
Oral lichen planus – an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) of the oral cavity

Introduction. Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, characterized by recurrent lesions, presenting as reticular lesions, sometimes accompanied by atrophic, erosive, and/or ulcerative areas. Despite being one of the most common conditions affecting the oral mucosa, oral lichen planus remains an ailment with undefined etiology and unclear pathogenesis, imprecise management, and uncertain premalignant potential. Materials and methods. A narrative literature review study was conducted. A bibliographic search was carried out in databases such as PubMed, Hinari, SpringerLink, the National Center of Biotechnology Information, and Medline. Articles published from 1990 to 2023 were selected using various combinations of keywords: “oral lichen planus,” and “epidemiology,” “etiology,” “pathogenesis,” “symptoms,” “management,” “histopathology,” and “malignant transformation.” After processing the data from these databases, 475 full articles were found. The final bibliography comprised 50 relevant sources, considered representative of the materials published on the topic of this synthesis article. Results. Oral lichen planus is an inflammatory condition associated with T-cell-mediated immune dysfunction. Triggers include autoimmune responses to local antigens, microorganisms, and stress. The disease results from a complex interplay of host factors, lifestyle, and environmental factors leading to T-cell-mediated immune dysregulation. Diagnosis of oral lichen planus is based on clinical features (multiple, bilateral, symmetrically distributed lesions, occurring most commonly on the buccal mucosa, dorsal tongue surface, and gingiva), histopathological findings (predominantly lymphocytic bandlike infiltrate in the lamina propria, presence of apoptotic cells in the basal cell layer, absence of epithelial dysplasia), and immune-related changes (deposition of fibrinogen along the basement membrane zone, presence of granular fluorescent deposits containing IgA, IgG, and IgM in colloid bodies). Conclusions. Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition mediated by T-cells in response to various extrinsic antigens, modified autoantigens, or superantigens, with periods of remission and relapse and the potential for malignant transformation. The etiology and pathogenesis of this condition are complex, diagnosis relies on clinical features, histopathological findings, and immunological data, patient treatment is symptomatic, and the potential for malignant transformation varies. Nevertheless, prospective studies with large sample sizes, adequate treatment duration, and long-term follow-up are needed.
Open letter rector of the institute of russian political culture Dmitry Rode
Authors: SUBETTO Alexander
Published: April 2024

This work informs about the critical assessment of the author of the "Rector's Word" entitled "What is the Coming of the Antichrist and How to Prepare for It", which the addressee posted on his "channel". The main attention of the readers of the open letter is drawn to the narrowly one-sided ideological, and essentially anti-scientific conception of D. Rohde in assessing the prospects of the country and the world. A. Subetto considers such an approach unacceptable on the part of the rector neither in scientific, nor in moral and pedagogical terms. The critical analysis of "The Rector's Word" allowed A. Subetto, who is known to the readers of our journal as an active developer of the theory of noospheric socialism, to present the main aspects of this theory as arguments for criticism of the work of D. Rohde.
Examining Resilience, Subjectivity, and Trauma: The Case of Migrants´ Mental Health in Chile
Authors: Acero Liliana
Published: April 2024

Chilean society has been deeply affected by the expansion of Venezuelan migrations in the last two decades, and that from Haiti earlier on. Conceptual frameworks - providing interpretations of resilience, subjectivity, and trauma– as outlined in this paper, are valuable for ongoing research on these migrants’ experiences. It discusses the psychosocial/socioenvironmental perspective and most especially, cultural and feminist approaches to human resilience processes useful for promoting migrants´ mental health, and explores how they can be articulated with adult trauma theory. Methodologically, the study involves a selective appraisal of concepts and theoretical frameworks that can be articulated to address the mental health and well-being of migrant populations. The issues raised are illustrated with examples from the experiences of Venezuelan and Haitian migrants in Chile. The review identifies conceptual lacunae in the frameworks considered. These include the need to attend to the role played by identity within socioenvironmental/psychosocial and cultural approaches, and to interrelate the resilient subject´s history (and body) with the causes and intra-psychic effects of trauma. Examples are provided concerning how public policies targeting migrant communities can detect problems in strategies for resilience and mental health, and how they might propose meaningful intercultural measures to overcome deficits.

Wielofunkcyjność rolnictwa – konceptualizacja i operacjonalizacja zjawiska
Authors: Wilkin Jerzy
Published: April 2024

Artykuł dotyczy jednego z najważniejszych obecnie zagadnień związanych z rolnictwem i polityką rolną, a mianowicie kwestią wielofunkcyjności rolnictwa i powiązaniem tego zjawiska z polityka rolną, zwłaszcza na szczeblu unijnym. W artykule została podjęta próba identyfikacji funkcji rolnictwa w odniesieniu do produkcji rynkowej, produkcji nierynkowej, oddziaływania na sferę przyrodniczą, społeczną i kulturową. Zjawisko wielofunkcyjności rolnictwa zostało powiązane z koncepcją zrównoważonego rozwoju, zagadnieniem wyceny nierynkowych funkcji rolnictwa, bezpieczeństwem żywnościowym i legitymizacją publicznego wsparcia dla rolnictwa w Unii Europejskiej.
Wpływ procesów globalizacyjnych na kierunki rozwoju form handlu żywnością w Polsce
Authors: Szymanowski Wacław
Published: April 2024

W artykule został przedstawiony wpływ procesów globalizacyjnych na działalność w skali makro w otoczeniu rolnictwa, a w szczególności ich wpływ na popyt na żywność oraz na podaż w skali globalnej (państw OECD). Powoduje to konieczność dostosowania do tych zmian nowych rozwiązań instytucjonalnych w obszarze współpracy między producentami żywności a infrastrukturą handlową. Skutkiem tego jest pojawienie się nowych form współpracy w zakresie sprzedaży żywności masowej oraz niszowej zaspokajającej popyt nowo tworzących się subsegmentów rynku w Polsce, zarówno w aglomeracjach miejskich, jak i na terenie obszarów wiejskich.
Gospodarka owczarska na terenach górskich jako przykład wielofunkcyjnego rolnictwa
Authors: Klepacka-Kołodziejska Dorota
Published: April 2024

W artykule przedstawiono gospodarkę owczarską jako przykład rolnictwa wielofunkcyjnego. Omawiana gałąź produkcji jest optymalnym rozwiązaniem dla rolnictwa terenów górskich z punktu widzenia ich warunków naturalnych oraz jej dość niskiej kapitałochłonności. Jest unikatową kombinacją produkcji licznych dóbr rynkowych, lecz również licznych dóbr publicznych istotnych dla całego społeczeństwa. Jest to również gałąź produkcji bardzo zrównoważona, dająca możliwości ekonomiczne, wpływająca na równowagę społeczną przy zachowaniu dbałości o środowisko. Odnowa tej, niestety, niemal zaniechanej działalności jest szansą dla ożywienia obszarów górskich i podgórskich.

Rozwój terenów wiejskich objętych siecią ekologiczną Natura 2000
Authors: Kłodziński Marek
Published: April 2024

Sieć ekologiczna Natura 2000 stwarza pewne bariery rozwojowe nie tylko dla wielkich inwestycji drogowych, ale także dla lokalnych społeczności, co często wynika z przedmiotowego potraktowania samorządów w procesie wyznaczania obszarów „naturowych” oraz przepisów, których interpretacja jest nie zawsze zrozumiała. Jednak, obok utrudnień, należy dostrzegać także elementy pozytywne, które wykorzystane w umiejętny sposób mogą przyczynić się do rozwoju obszarów objętych siecią Natura 2000. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że Natura 2000 jest bardzo potrzebną formą ochrony przyrody, jednak kosztami tej ochrony nie mogą być obarczone wyłącznie gminy wiejskie, dlatego należy podjąć dyskurs o celowości utworzenia przez całe społeczeństwo Funduszu Środowiskowego, który rekompensowałby lokalnym społecznościom trud ochrony środowiska naturalnego w Polsce.
Postawy i oczekiwania proekologiczne mieszkańców wsi obszarów chronionych
Authors: Perepeczko Barbara
Published: April 2024

Artykuł zawiera prezentację wybranych wyników badań nad świadomością ekologiczną mieszkańców wsi położonych w gminach objętych siecią Natura 2000. Pierwsza część dotyczy rozkładu wskaźnika postaw proekologicznych, który ukazuje kategorie badanych, szczególnie uwrażliwionych i zorientowanych w sprawach środowiska przyrodniczego. Druga część przedstawia ich opinie o stanie najbliższego środowiska. Badani są zwolennikami ochrony środowiska w swojej okolicy, której piękno doceniają. Sądzą, że postawy i zachowania mieszkańców oraz działalność władz lokalnych są najważniejsze dla jego stanu, a związane z ochroną ograniczenia powinny być rekompensowane w postaci szczególnych przywilejów, nie tylko finansowych. Poglądy mieszkańców nie zawsze są spójne i nie zawsze znajdują potwierdzenie w ich codziennej praktyce.
