“…In places with a steep bank slopes with significant abrasion and poor access to water, the anti-erosion (anti-abrasion) function of the riparian stands should be a priority. The issue of the anti-erosion function of riparian vegetation has been addressed by several authors (Simon, Collison 2002, Šlezingr 2011, Jakubisová 2011. From the point of view of water quality protection in Lake Počúvadlo, other functions of riparian vegetation are also important.…”

The recreational water reservoir Počúvadlo, which was built in the years 1775-1779, is located in the Štiavnické vrchy Protected Landscape Area near the town of Banská Štiavnica. This water reservoir, as a part of the historical mining water management system, is the most visited and used for recreation out of the 26 preserved reservoirs in the vicinity of Banská Štiavnica. Počúvadlo water reservoir covers an area of 12.13 hectares and is a popular summer and winter recreation center and the venue for various cultural and sports events in this region. An important part of the Počúvadlo water reservoir are the riparian stands, which have several functions. These functions are mainly related to the protection of banks from erosion (abrasion), create suitable space and conditions for recreation and relaxation, affect the water quality in the reservoir, etc. In 1993, town Banská Štiavnica, together with the technical monuments in the vicinity (including the unique water management system of water reservoirs), was entered into the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List.

In today's society, smartphone usage in active recreation (natural environment) is somewhat controversial because some believe that smartphones promote an access to resources; however, some believe that smartphones distract attention from environment; therefore, the present study aims at determining adolescents' smartphone usage in active recreation and natural environment. An instrument of survey (non-standardized) was carried out six months (January -June, 2022) through an intentional sampling of survey group size of 2108 (100%) adolescent boys and girls: (i) Urban adolescent boys and girls (42.50%, n = 896); (ii) Rural adolescent boys and girls (57.50%, n = 1212), aged 18.50 ± .40 years. Statistics (e.g., descriptive, inferential) was used to analyze and compare the data. When considering the adolescents' smartphone usage, on average, 45.00% (n = 949) of survey group spent 1 -3 hours of using smartphones and about 38.32% (n = 808) of survey group spent time using smartphones in active recreation (natural environment). About 4.80% (n = 102) of survey group spent time using specific, recreation apps (e.g., Geocaching, GeoCaches). Increasing the physical activity is necessary; therefore, smartphone usage (recreation apps) may increase time spent in active recreation and influence physical activity levels of adolescents.
