Plany zagospodarowania przestrzennego jako instrument zarządzania zieloną infrastrukturą
Land use plans as an instrument for green infrastructure management

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the results of a study on the challenges and barriers related to the role of land use plans in the management of green infrastructure in small and medium-sized cities. This research forms part of a larger project dedicated to analysing the importance of green infrastructure as a natural and social resource of small and medium-sized cities in Poland. The subject of the study are 814 spatial development plans in force in 20 Polish cities (12 medium-sized and 8 small). The selection of these cities was dictated by the assumptions of the research project and related to two basic criteria: the model of the layout of areas covered with vegetation or water and the projected development trajectory. What was analysed in the plans were the patterns of provisions that could be linked to green infrastructure. Provisions concerning green spaces, woodland areas and other specific provisions (which could be linked to green infrastructure) were identified.
