Detailed geomorphological map of Narwiański National Park with its buffer zone in scale 1:25000
As GIS is becoming more and more popular and available
for its users it finds new implementation in many fields of
knowledge and areas of life and business. It is now used in
government, research Institutes, Universities and by private
companies. Geographic Information System stand by remote
sensing is more often used in monitoring and researching Environment.
Testing GIS and remote sensing to actualize and
preparing maps gave very good effects. That was the reason
for using this solution for shape researching and creating geomorphological
maps.
The purpose of research was to create detailed geomorphological
map of Narew National Park and its buffer zone
in scale 1:25 000 using remote sensing (spectroscopy images),
GIS programs, available maps and fi eld research carried out
in the National Park.
Narew National Park is located in Podlaskie Voivodeship,
in North-Eastern Poland, traversed by the Narew River. The
total area of the Park is 73.5 square kilometres of which only
20.57 km² is state-owned. Narew National Park was created
in 1996. The area covered by the park is the Upper Narew
Valley, a very swampy area.
The methodology of map preparation was composed from
3 stages:
Stage 1 – introductory geomorphologic sketch
Stage 2 – preparing geomorphologic map in scale 1:25000
Stage 3 – Composition of map – preparing for printing
The methodology of research didn’t include stereographic
images. The alternative solution was interpretation of mosaic
of spectroscopy images putted on DTM with 10 times superiority.
Superiority was essential because height differences on
the research area are rather small (only 50 m between the
highest and the lowest point). The interpretation of boundaries
between forms was carried out on DTM products, which were:
hypsometric map, slopes and shaded relief.
New solution was also the usage of color infrared images
which was until this research used only in investigating plants
and their diseases and also in hydrology.
Interesting solution was the development of photointerpretaion
key in which 3-D images were used (generated
from DTM). This was great opportunity to visualize shape
and spatial relation between geomorphologic forms. It was
also very helpful in stating the origin of the forms. What is
more authors examined new form of presenting geomorphologic
content. The impression of mallable picture was achieved by
putting geomorphological map on the image of slopes, generated
from DTM.
After the research few conclusions were made.
1. Color infrared images are very useful in relief exploration,
mainly because:
convex form, in which water table is deeper, are brighter
on the satellite image than concave forms, in which water
table is lower, emphasis of the shadow is very useful for distinguishing
excavation, the absorption of infra-red radiation
by water caused that every water body is very well seen, for
example water in Narew riverbed, oxbow lake and other lakes.
2. DTM and maps which can be generated from it can replace
topographic map and long and expensive terrain studies.
3. GIS offers programs which are useful not only in map
preparation but also in the process of its composition.
Literature studies and presented research lead to the
statement that relief of researched area was formed in
the close of Wolstonian Stage (in Polish: Zlodowacenie
Środkowopolskie) and it was denudated in latest time of Pleistocene
and Holocene
Turystyka uzdrowiskowa w Polsce i na świecie - perspektywy rozwoju Spa i Wellness w Polsce
W ostatnich latach nastąpił szybki wzrost zapotrzebowania na tzw. "zdrowy tryb życia", dbałość o własny wygląd i walkę z objawami starzenia się organizmu. Współczesny człowiek żyje intensywnie i równie intensywnie zabiega o regenerowanie swojego organizmu. W skali światowej rysują się dwa modele uzdrowisk: europejskie kurorty nawiązując do tradycyjnej turystyki uzdrowiskowej propagują przede wszystkim model leczniczo-profilaktyczny. Jednak coraz częściej poszerzają swoje oferty w kierunku szeroko rozumianej rekreacji oraz funkcji wypoczynkowej turystyki. Stają się modne miejsca SPA&Wellness łączące zabiegi wodne, głównie ciepłe wody z harmonią ducha jak uprawianie yoga, medytacje i wyciszanie codziennego zgiełku na który każdy jest narażony. Ze względu na klimat i zasoby wód ciepłych, w Polsce istnieją dogodne warunki rozwoju nowoczesnych SPA, a zatem turystyki zdrowotnej.During the last years there has been noted the increase interest in improving health conditions in specific SPA. In Europe exist traditional old SPA's which offer various mineral therapies. The SPA places develop according to the demand for the recreation activities. The new way of the therapy is SPA&Wellness which offer different water treatment and also quite environment which offer harmony with the mind and body
Geomorphological map of pomorskie and warmińsko-mazurskie voivodeships using geoinformatics methods
The aim of this study was to prepare geomorphological
maps of pomorskie and warminsko-mazurskie voivodeships in
scale 1:300 000. Analysis primarily were based on the General
Geomorphological Map of Poland 1:500 000 and Landsat 5 TM
satellite images in RGB 453 composition, and alternatively
with Geological Map of Poland 1:200 000, Topographic Map
of Poland 1:100 000 and Digital Terrain Model from Shuttle
Radar Topography Mission. These materials were processed
into digital form and imported them PUWG 1992 coordinate
system. Based on them was lead interpretation and vectorization
of geomorphological forms. It was detailing the boundaries
in accordance with the content of the General Geomorphological
Map of Poland 1:500 000. Then polygons were coded according
to the numbering of J. Borzuchowski (2010). Very important
was process to design a legend and then editing maps. The
last stage of this study was to prepare a composition for printing
maps. The effect of studies are geomorphological maps
of pomorskie and warminsko-mazurskie voivodeships in scale
1:300 000, and an interactive databases in ESRI shapefile
format (*.shp)
