Landscape threats in protected landscape areas of pomorskie voivodeship

Summary/Abstract: Protected landscape areas, as one of the ten forms of nature protection in Poland, are at the same time one of the three (besides landscape parks and natural and landscape complexes) forms dedicated in a special way to landscape protection. For more than 8 years, Poland has been conducting work on landscape audits, which, regardless of the identification of priority landscapes in the voivodeships, requires the identification of landscape threats within the boundaries of landscape parks and protected landscape areas. The article presents the results of the identification and inventory of landscape threats performed in 2021 within the boundaries of 40 LPAs located in Pomorskie Voivodeship. The catalog of threats was based on the methods indicated for conducting the audit and included the range of selected threats, as specified in Appendix 6 of the Ordinance on preparing landscape audits (2019). Depending on the specificity of the threat and its spatial dimension, threats were classified as point, linear or surface, which was also reflected in the typology of objects made for the creation of the GIS database. For the objects identified and included in the databases, their characteristics and the degree and nature of the threat were determined. The article presents the results of the study and attempts to synthetically assess the threats to natural and landscape values within the boundaries of the studied areas. The main groups of threats were also identified and a preliminary analysis of the reasons for their occurrence was presented.
