The paper presents the analysis of the economic and environmental effect of land consolidation on the example of the village of Hucisko situated in the administrative district of Leżajsk, Podkarpackie Province. Rural areas in Poland need changes related with an improvement of their competitive position in the European market. The object of the study is situated in the Podkarpackie Province which is characterised by fairly high land fragmentation and the occurrence of irregular-shaped and relatively small plots. Farms in South and South-Eastern Poland require modification with regard to their size or to the shape of their area. Within the area under analysis, land consolidation was performed in the years 2011-2013. The main purpose of the consolidation was to eliminate the troublesome checkerboard of fields. The performed land consolidation contributed to a significant improvement of living and work conditions of the local inhabitants. It can be also stated that the quality of the environment and the cultural values of the village have been enhanced.
STRESZCZENIEW pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań natężenia erozji wodnej w wąwozie drogowym w Gorzkowie na Wyżynie Lubelskiej. Program badań opierał się na badaniach terenowych, którymi objęto badania natężenia erozji wodnej, uwzględniając rodzaje i rozmiary szkód erozyjnych. W okresie badań wystąpiły trzy spływy powierzchniowe wód, podczas których powstały szkody erozyjne. Szkody erozyjne w postaci żłobin w dnie wąwozu wyniosły 64,2 m 3 , a objętość osadzonego materiału ziemnego na dnie wąwozu i w rowie przydrożnym wyniosła 70 m 3 . Słowa kluczowe: erozja wodna, erozja wąwozowa, wąwóz drogowy.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROAD GULLY IN GORZKÓW (LUBLIN UPLAND)ABSTRACT The paper presents the results studies on the intensity of water erosion processes in the road gully in Gorzków on the Lublin Upland. The study program was based mainly on field determinations including the intensity of water erosion processes, taking into account the types and size of erosion damage. During the studies, three surface washouts that led to erosion damage were registered. Erosion damage in a form of rills on the bottom of gully, during the studies, amounted to 64.2 m 3 , and the volume of precipitated soil material on the bottom of gully and the roadside ditch was 70 m 3 .
The paper presents the project of land protection from erosion in Wola Idzikowska village. Because of the type of soils and topography, about 37% of the land is threatened by medium and strong water erosion. Due to the lack of windbreak barriers, 70% of the area is threatened by wind erosion. In Wola Idzikowska village in the years of 2004-2006 land consolidation was conducted. Anti-erosion protection systems were designed but never realized. The assessment of causes of this condition, as well as new system of anti-erosion phyto-control works have been done. Afforestation of about 4.1 hectares of land, mostly fallow lands and wastelands was designed. The possibility of introducing 7.60 kilometers of shelterbelts as a windbreak barriers was also shown.
The paper contains analysis of the anti-erosion system in the road gully in Wielkopole, Lublin Upland. The solution implemented in the gully's bottom is effective against line erosion -there is no gully deepening. Lack of protection of slopes results in an intense earthmass movements. At the brim zone of the gully suffosion processes occur leading to the gully widening. The eroded material is accumulated on the road and colmatage drainage system of voivodship road no. 842, what is dangerous to traffic and generates expenses. That is why anti-erosion systems should be implemented comprehensively, protecting both the slopes and the bottom of gullies. Projects of such systems should be consulted with specialist.
