Przemiany użytkowania ziemi na terenie śródmieścia Krakowa
Land use changes in Kraków Śródmieście

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to evaluate the process of land use changes occurring in the initial period of implementation of principles of the market economy within one of the regular urban units of the former cadastral district I of the city of Cracow – Śródmieście, formed as early as in the Middle Ages. A study was conducted in a system of legally and functionally diverse allotments, within 20 years - i.e. 1992-2012. The study revealed mostly qualitative changes. They involved,among other things, a decrease of the surface of areas for residential development and the increase in the surface of the socalled multifunctional complexes (i.e. residential and commercial buildings). In the case of commercial areas, a decrease of the surface of territories occupied in basic services (e.g. trade) was observed in favour of high priority services, related to the strengthening of the major functions of Cracow: culture, science and tourism.
