Wyznaczanie strategicznych obszarów rolniczych

Praca dotyczy wyznaczania strategicznych obszarów rolniczych oraz cennych ekologicznie. Wyznaczenia tych obszarów dokonano za pomocą ocen punktowych z wykorzystaniem wybranych wskaźników określających stopień przydatności obszarów do pełnienia pewnych funkcji w przestrzeni otaczającej miasto.

The aim of the study was to identify strategic agricultural areas simultaneously including ecologically valuable land. The study comprised Olsztyn District (excluding the town of Olsztyn). A point method was applied, which involved the indices used to define suitability of land for agricultural production and ecological assets. The study proves that the communes in Olsztyn District are similar in terms of ecological value and agricultural production suitability. Some communes, however, for example Stawiguda, Olsztynek and Purda, are highly ecologically valuable but less suitable for farming. Therefore, they could serve other than agricultural functions, which would nevertheless contribute to conservation of their ecologically valuable assets. There are also such areas, e.g. the commune of Świątki, that could sustain intensive farming practice.
