Правові проблеми управління  у сфері функціонування  та розвитку біосферних заповідників України

Правові проблеми управління у сфері функціонування та розвитку біосферних заповідників України

Author(s): R. Holonko / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 10/2016

Problem Setting. The implementation of biosphere reserves such tasks as: conservation of biological and landscape diversity, realization of the background ecological monitoring, studying of the natural environment, its changes under the influence of anthropogenic factors is possible only under condition of existence in the state a coherent, clearly defined control mechanism in the sphere of functioning and development of biosphere reserves. Effective public management in the conditions of free access of the public, research institutions and other subjects of management activity in this area is the key to preserving in natural state the most typical natural complexes of the biosphere, a harmonious combination of rational use of natural resources with their protection and reproduction.The actuality of the topic. The modern state of governance in the operation and development of biosphere reserves is studied in the article and the urgent need to further improve governance in this area is justified.It is established that a feature of administration in the sphere of functioning and development of biosphere reserves is in the fact that the subject structure of these relations is very diverse, as some of the players have managerial authority, although according to the law and their nature do not have authority regarding the implementation of regulatory impact. Therefore, it was proposed to classify management subjects in the field of functioning and development of biosphere reserves on the subjects of public administration and non-state control. In turn, the subjects of public administration should be attributed to entities of the general state administration in this area, for example, Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, and subjects of special public management, for example, the State environmental inspectorate of Ukraine. Non-state administration control there is a special administration of biosphere reserves and public inspectors.The purpose of the article. Despite the lack of specialized body of management of protected matter, proposed to create a single special authorized and isolated organ with clearly defined competence in the management of the NRF. In addition, it is proposed to improve the mechanism of state management by creating the appropriate territorial bodies, subordinate to the specified central body of executive power in the field of nature conservation to ensure implementation of state policy in the sphere of management of protected matter on places.Conclusions. The attention is focused on the need for the newly formed authority subordinate biosphere reserves, to resolve the inconsistencies between the different public authorities, enterprises, institutions, organizations in the formation and implementation of the strategy and development plans biosphere reserves. There was justified the opinion on improving the system of state management in the sphere of protection of biosphere reserves by the department of public service of protection of the NRF in an independent unit under the State environmental inspectorate of Ukraine, which is under the Ministry of ecology and natural resources of Ukraine.

Intertwined and Contested. Green Politics and the Environmental Movement in Turkey

Author(s): Ümit Şahin / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2015

Late industrialization as well as political polarization and the rule of military regimes resulted in the belated onset of an environmental movement in Turkey. Environmental movements and green politics developed almost concurrently in the 1980s, while their major events and actors were intertwined. The first green party was established earlier than many countries, in 1988. This first party was short-lived, but afterwards, in the 1990s, green politics contributed to the development and diversity of the environmental movement, which increasingly distanced itself from green politics. The second green party was established in 2008. There are many political and generational differences between the two Turkish green parties. Their main similarity is that neither fulfilled the eligibility criteria for entering the elections. Also, the existing ten per cent electoral threshold has been discouraging. Therefore the most indicative deficit of Turkey’s green politics has been its lack of an electoral challenge.

The Making of Environmental Policy in Georgia

Author(s): Manuela Troschke / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2015

In Georgia, there is a window of opportunity to address long-neglected environmental problems. The government is under pressure to harmonize its environmental policy with EU legislation, and to bring the level of its performance on environmental matters up to expected EU standards. The EU certainly offers money and expertise to secure the results of such political and legislative effort, but without local contextualization the ultimate aim, which is of course an improvement in the quality of the environment, will not be achieved. By means of an actor-focused social network analysis, this article offers an examination of motivations and constraints in the production process of environmental policy in Georgia, and draws upon local primary sources supported by extensive secondary sources. The author concludes that hitherto unstable and donor-driven ‘best practice’ environmental policy-making ought to be supplemented by highly skilled analytical institutional bodies which must connect actors, and that local needs require a stronger voice. Information and transparency are crucial to reaching those goals.

Predictors of recycling behaviour intentions among urban Lithuanian inhabitants

Author(s): Indrė Pikturnienė,Greta Bäumle / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2016

In countries where no incentives for recycling prevail, individual recycling is grounded on citizens’ consciousness and everyday efforts. Governmental actions can be effective only after understanding factors for recycling behaviour, and fostering them. Since the primary target group of recycling in Lithuania are urban inhabitants, it is important to determine what sub-segments of this group are the most likely to become innovators and early adopters in the field, and to identify what are the most important predictors of their recycling intentions. The aim of the study was to determine how values affect attitude elements towards recycling and what attitude elements and (or) recent recycling behaviour are the most important predictors of intentions to recycle; and to investigate what demographic groups among Lithuanian urban inhabitants are the most likely to be engaged in recycling. Survey using an instrument that allowed determining values, attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, actual level of recycling, and link them to the intentions to recycle was performed among urban Lithuanian inhabitants. Results suggest two main strategies for social change managers: informing consumers to increase favourable attitudes towards recycling, and inducing recycling habit. The efforts should be primarily targeted towards educated people over 35, irrespective of gender.

Storczyki to nie tylko egzotyka – czyli fascynujący świat polskich przedstawicieli storczykowatych (Orchidaceae Juss.)

Author(s): Monika Lipińska,Joanna Gołębiewska,Magdalena Kubiak,Anna Kuczyńska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2016

Orchids are present on almost all continents. In Poland about 60 taxa are known from its territory, for comparison, the orchid flora of Colombia reaches more than 3000 taxa. Within national representatives, 43 species are under strictly protection, and 9 under partial protection. Species of Orchidaceae are in danger of extinction in all regions of the World. The main reasons for that are: destruction of natural habitats, high sensitivity to changing environmental conditions and specific ecological requirements. Noteworthy are modifications of the traditional pollination process. Some of the orchids lure pollinators by imitating the appearance and smell of female wasps, while others pretend to be nectarous species. All of them are important and valuable component of the Polish flora of higher plants.

Oddziaływanie allelopatyczne Synechococcus sp. na wybrane szczepy nitkowatych sinic

Author(s): Sylwia Śliwińska-Wilczewska,Jakub Maculewicz,Adam Latała / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2016

Field studies and laboratory experiments have shown that allelopathy occurs in all marine, brackish and freshwater habitats. In this study the influence of allelopathic activity on the filamentous cyanobacteria Nostoc sp. and Rivularia sp. was investigated by the addition of a cell-free filtrate of picocyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. These studies indicate that the picocyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. affect Nostoc sp. negatively. It was examined that the Synechococcus sp. reveals allelopathic activity on the growth and pigment contents of analyzed cyanobacterium. At the 21st day of experiment it was noted that addition of the cell free-filtrate inhibited growth of Nostoc sp. and the minimum response was 39%, relative to the control. The study also indicated that the addition of the picocyanobacterial filtrate increased the carotenoid content, which was 25% higher, compared to the control. Additionally, it was observed that addition of the filtrate caused deformation and cell lysis of Nostoc sp. Moreover, the study showed that Synechococcus sp. had no allelopathic effect on growth of Rivularia sp. However, after the cyanobacterial cell free-filtrate addition, the minimum response of chlorophyll a content of Rivularia sp. was 31% lower, than for control. The release of allelopathic compounds may be beneficial to the donor organisms, by limiting the condition and number of competitors.

Poszanowanie przyrody jako kategoria etyczna w perspektywie biocentrycznej

Author(s): Janusz A. Majcherek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2015

Respect for nature is an obvious human obligation from sozological, ecological and ecophilosophical standpoints. Is it an ethical duty also, as Paul W. Taylor and some other environmental ethicists claim? According to George E. Moore’s criticism of naturalistic fallacy, nature couldn’t give a foundation for any duty, including respect for itself. Nature could be recognized as good, but not in a moral sense. Destroying it should be acknowledged as an evil, but not necessarily a moral one. Not founded on the laws of nature, respect for it is part of culture, being a normative system which rules different forms of human behaviour, among them these concerning nature. Respect for nature is a duty of homo sapiens as a species being part of it and being able to act consciously in and for it. This duty is valid and obligatory irrespectively of ethical grounds.

Environmental impact of municipal waste incineration plant

Author(s): Martyna Nowak / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2015

Building an incineration plant is a project of a huge social undertaking. Neither environmental organizations nor the residents near the locations of such installations are likely to express support for such construction. Some of the main issues raising emotions in society are: emissions of harmful substances into the air, large investment costs and problems with managing residues. This paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of building municipal waste incineration plants, current waste management, and also the results of an LCA analysis on the environmental impact of chosen waste management strategies.

Współczesna estetyka przyrody – wybrane zagadnienia

Author(s): Mateusz Salwa / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

The aim of the article is to present some of the issues that are particularly important in the field of contemporary aesthetics of nature. This paper primarily takes two categories into account, namely, landscape and natural environment. Such a selection is justified by the fact that they are central to two different approaches to the problem of the aesthetic experience of nature. What is at stake here is a ‘reflexive experience’ that is not so much spontaneous or purely sensual because it is shaped by different sets of categories, artistic or scientific. As a result one can talk of either ‘landscape aesthetics’ or ‘environmental aesthetics’. The question of how people aesthetically appreciate nature is important for it may have a practical bearing on people’s ecological approach.

Metoda badawcza i uwrażliwienie na stan środowiska – propozycja zajęć terenowych

Author(s): Aleksandra Kubica,Wiktoria Sobczyk,Urszula Poziomek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

W dobie komputeryzacji, informatyki, najnowszych technologii często zapominamy o tym, co najważniejsze: o środowisku, które nas otacza. Nie pamiętamy o tym, że należy segregować odpady (Maciejewska, Sobczyk, 2011), wyłączyć światło w pomieszczeniu, w którym nie przebywamy. Termin „ekologia” kojarzy się głównie z marketingiem, modą, ale nie z nauką (Sobczyk, Wójcik, 2013). Ale to właśnie zdrowe, nieskażone środowisko jest kluczem do bezpiecznego i szczęśliwego życia człowieka. Aby nasze dzieci i wnuki żyły w czystym środowisku, powinniśmy najpierw zmienić nasz sposób myślenia i nasze nawyki. Ważnym etapem jest wychowanie dzieci, by szanowały przyrodę i dbały o nią. Im wcześniej dziecko będzie miało styczność z zagadnieniami związanymi z ochroną i dbałością o środowisko, tym większe prawdopodobieństwo, że ukształtuje w sobie odpowiednie nawyki i sposób myślenia. Jeżeli nie podejmiemy próby zmiany konsumpcyjnego podejścia do życia, zaszkodzimy nie tylko sobie, ale także przyszłym pokoleniom.

„Chronimy lokalną przyrodę” – kształtowanie świadomości przyrodniczej i ochrona siedlisk płazów w Ostrowie Wielkopolskim w latach 2009–2014

„Chronimy lokalną przyrodę” – kształtowanie świadomości przyrodniczej i ochrona siedlisk płazów w Ostrowie Wielkopolskim w latach 2009–2014

Author(s): Krzysztof Kolenda / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

Zanikanie i dewastacja siedlisk są jednymi z głównych przyczyn masowego spadku liczebności płazów na świecie (Cushman, 2006). Nie inaczej jest w Polsce, gdzie rozbudowa infrastruktury i coraz gęstsza sieć dróg prowadzą nie tylko do rozdzielania sąsiadujących populacji płazów ale także do masowej ich śmierci w czasie corocznych wiosennych wędrówek do miejsc rozrodczych (Elżanowski i wsp., 2009; Gryz i Krauze, 2008). Dodatkowo, małe zbiorniki wodne – kluczowe miejsca rozrodu i bytowania płazów, są nagminnie zasypywane, bądź zanikają na skutek działań melioracyjnych. W ciągu niespełna 70 lat na przełomie XIX i XX wieku w samej tylko Wielkopolsce zniknęło ponad 8500 małych oczek wodnych (Stasiak, 1991 za Rybacki i Berger, 2003). Nie wiadomo ile ich jest obecnie, jednakże można być pewnym, że spora część poddana jest silnej presji człowieka.

„Ekologiczny Survival” – niezwykła eko-przygoda dla dzieci i rodziców

Author(s): Pracownia Edukacji Żywej / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2014

– Dzieci, czy chcecie wiedzieć, co działo się w tym miejscu wcześnie rano, kiedy dopiero zaczynało się robić jasno? – Taaaak! – oczy i buzie szeroko otwarte z przejęcia. – Gdybyśmy tu przyszli wcześnie rano, byłoby zupełnie cicho. Tylko nad naszymi głowami usłyszelibyśmy stukanie – stuk stuk, stuk stuk. To dzięcioł wyjada nasiona z szyszki w swojej kuźni. Zadzieramy do góry głowę – ale jest zbyt ciemno, jeszcze nic nie widać. Nagle słyszymy nowy dźwięk – coś dużego i ciężkiego pędzi na nas z ciemności. Nim zdążymy się na dobre przestraszyć – mijają nas trzy potężne dziki i wpadają do lasu. I za chwilę słyszymy pochrząkiwanie, trzask łamanych gałązek, szuranie, mlaskanie, chrupanie… Podchodzimy ostrożnie bliżej – i widzimy, jak dziki zebrały się wokół ściętego pniaka i przerzucają swoimi ryjkami ziemię i wyjadają żołędzie, chrząszcze, larwy i korzonki.
