Landscape Protection in Polish Law. Current Situation and Prospects

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the legal protection of the landscape in Poland. Inspiration to discuss and explore such a topic comes from the problems connected with the appropriate implementation of the European Landscape Convention. The basic objection boils down to the fact that in Poland, in principle, there is no protection of the landscape outside special areas. Special areas are, for example, national parks or landscape parks – these are legal forms of nature protection. Very important is also the confusion of terminology associated with the treatment of the landscape in terms of environmental acts. In particular, geographers have here a lot of criticisms. They are right. There is a widespread belief so that the legal system in this respect requires a change. This article presents so the main directions of the proposed changes. Equally important is the question of the shape of the legal system: one act on landscape protection or more of acts.
