Spatial development transformations of post-industrial areas in Tarnowskie Góry Poviat communes using GIS methods

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to discuss changes in the spatial development of post-industrial areas in the Tarnowskie Góry Poviat. The study was conducted on the basis of archival maps, analysis of local spatial development plans and aerial photographs. GIS software and tools were used to analyze the obtained materials. The research found that the largest percentage of post-industrial areas are located in the urban communes of the Tarnowskie Góry Poviat (Tarnowskie Góry and Radzionków). These are currently used mainly for tourist purposes attracting new residents and investors. This is an important aspect for achieving the strategic objectives of Śląskie Voivodeship and Tarnowskie Góry Poviat. It is important that urban communes take their use into account in local spatial development plans, as this is not fully reflected in the case of rural communes. A similar situation is found with the remnants of post-industrial activity in the Tarnowskie Góry Poviat where the largest number of such sites has been preserved in urban communes, and thanks to historical maps it was possible to locate them. In the case of rural communes, finding sites of post-industrial activity was much more difficult because most of those described in the literature have been demolished or biotic succession has taken place.
