THE PROJECT AIMING AT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROTECTED AREA IN THE IMIELNO COMMUNE

Abstract

The paper provides the project to launch a few initiatives supporting the sustainable development of the protected area in the Imielno Commune located in the Nadnidziański Landscape Park, the Świętokrzyski administrative region. The Nadni-dziański Landscape Park boasts numerous natural assets which are used only in a very limited way. As the environmental conditions of this area are protected by law, the economic activity should be as favourable to the environment as possible in order to preserve it for posterity. A comprehensive and long-term strategy is indispensable to achieve this aim, therefore the sustainable development of this protected area should be supported because it combines the multifunctional development of rural areas with the protection of the environment. The project cannot be implemented without the support of the local community. The presented project is based on the statistic data and the author’s own field research carried out from 1998 to 2002 and its primary aim to fulfil is the sustainable development in the protected area which will respect the protection of the environment.
