“…It is worth noting that the results of the survey on the preferences of visitors staying in holiday villages showed that respondents when choosing a village gave priority to its traditional character [9][10][11][12][13]64,67,69]. Research into agritourism also indicated that its development is influenced both by the so-called natural attractiveness factor (natural and landscape values) and cultural attractiveness (historical monuments, regional buildings) [7,9,60]. Therefore, it was considered that the area of Kłodzko District would be optimal for examining many indicators in terms of favoring agritourism as one of the economic sectors (tourism).…”

“…In the first category-the homogeneity of the regional style-the following features were distinguished: the color and form of the roof (roof slope inclination) and the body and covering of the building façade. These are the features that are most visible when observing buildings on a landscape scale [7][8][9]58,59]. The second category-the quality of the panoramas-determines the location of the farm in space: whether the site is in a prominent place in the field or whether it is located in the vicinity of similar buildings [41,[43][44][45]49,50].…”

“…Currently, newly established agritourism facilities address their offer to a specific customer and seek to adapt it to the anticipated needs of future visitors. Many farmers have left livestock production or have kept agricultural production to a minimum, which has completely changed the space of the homestead [7]. This often results in agritourism farms spaces which have no rural character and do not retain the features of regional buildings [8,9].…”

The European Landscape Convention (2006) indicates that landscape conservation is as important as the protection of the overall environment. Although the boundaries between urban and rural areas in many countries are blurring, the rural landscape is still perceived as a valuable landscape artefact. Traditional rural landscapes have undergone significant transformations over the past few decades. The authors attempt to analyze factors causing apparent changes in the rural landscape, based on the example of agritourism farms in Kłodzko District, Lower Silesia. The changes taking place in Poland after 1989 resulted in reduced profitability of agricultural production. This was why small farms stopped using land for agricultural production. Agritourism has become one of the forms of business activity. Therefore, it became necessary to adapt farms to a new function. The 37 agritourism farms registered in rural and rural-urban municipalities of Kłodzko District have been randomly selected for the survey. The research has shown the extent of changes related to the transformation of agricultural farms into agritourism ones. Six areas (categories) where changes took place have been identified based on the analysis of collected data. The authors have included the collected data in the parameterization of surveyed agritourism farms, taking into account: the condition of the agricultural farm before introducing its new role (0) and the present condition, with an agritourism function (1). The complete linkage clustering (the maximum distance) known as cluster analysis was used to examine the variables in terms of farm change. The aim was to select outstanding units from the research sample for further research as case studies.

“…Manor and park estates are valuable elements of the cultural heritage and a distinguishing feature of the rural landscape in Western Pomerania [60,66]. However, they have often been subject to changes since 1945, including alterations to their functions, inappropriate renovations, and decades of neglect.…”

“…Recent research focusing on the current status of manor houses and parks in rural areas of Western Pomerania has been lacking. However, valuable comparative information can be obtained from research conducted on northern and western Poland, which also belonged to Germany before the war, for instance on East Prussia [61], Silesia [62][63][64], Lower Silesia [65,66], and Warmia-Masuria [7,67,68]. The research mainly discussed the historical structure of the sites, whereas Łaguna [7,68] attempted to develop a method for assessing the status of villages managed by state institutions.…”

Manor and Park Estates—Resilience to Transformation and the New Management of Space Due to Political Changes: The Case of Western Pomerania (Poland)

The historical landscape reveals diverse social, economic, political transformations that create an identity of place, one which should be protected for future generations. Manor and park estates have been and continue to be valuable parts of cultural heritage and a distinguishing feature of the rural landscape in Europe. Since 1945, however, they have often failed to resist negative changes, especially in Eastern Europe where, after the Second World War, countries adopted the socialist system, which abolished private property and placed many historical buildings under the management of state institutions for several decades. In this context, it is important to study their current state of preservation. This study analyzes the condition of manor and park estates in Western Pomerania, Poland, that became the property of State Agricultural Farms (PGRs) after the Second World War. For this purpose, it was necessary to determine the extent of their transformation brought about by the State Agricultural Farms from 1949–1991, as well as changes that have occurred in the past 30 years. A qualitative method was used to assess the preservation of historical manor and park estates and to classify them according to their degree of preservation. The results showed that 42% of the estates surveyed have had their original form and spatial composition transformed, and their preservation status is assessed as moderate. Nearly 30% are in poor condition, which is hindering their full revitalization and the restoration of cultural and natural values. Only 28% of manor and park estates are maintained in a very good state. It is a matter of concern that the decline of these estates has been continuous and that restoration efforts have been limited. However, by assessing the current state of preservation, we can identify the measures necessary to stop further deterioration and preserve the cultural heritage of the region. It is clear that the preservation of these estates is essential to maintaining the identity of Western Pomerania. Manor and park estates are historical monuments associated with the people who once lived there. They must be protected to promote sustainable development and preserve a common European cultural heritage for future generations.

The “Perfect Village” Model as a Result of Research on Transformation of Plant Cover—Case Study of the Puchaczów Commune

Contemporary efforts to create “ideal” rural areas are carried out in accordance with the concept of sustainable development. It should be emphasized that in the process of planning the directions of development of rural areas, the economic factor is very often placed above the ecological one. It is the conditions of the natural environment that should form the basis for their shaping. Research on natural resources, including vegetation, makes it possible to recognize the quality of the landscape and adapt future directions of its transformations to the existing condition. The main aim of the article is to present the model of the “perfect village”—the principles of shaping natural systems that support sustainable development. The territorial scope of the research covered the Puchaczów commune. It is a rural area with an additional industrial character. The guidelines of the “perfect village” model have been organized hierarchically, taking into account the scope of the planned activities. There are three basic types of them: protection, strengthening and reconstruction of the vegetation. Another equally important goal is to present the spatial transformations taking place in the commune’s landscape and to generate a forecast of its possible development in 2050. The authors also performed a simulation of land cover taking into account the guidelines of the “perfect village”. The research was carried out using the QGIS 2.18 program and the MOLUSCE plugin. Both forecasts were subject to a comparative analysis. Research has shown that by applying the principles of shaping the natural system of the Puchaczów commune presented in the article, it is possible to inhibit the pressure of anthropogenic factors on the natural environment.
