TY - JOUR TI - Contemporary environs of watercourses in Szczyrk – the Silesian Beskids AU - Łysień, Mariusz TI - Contemporary environs of watercourses in Szczyrk – the Silesian Beskids AB - As a town of abundant natural environment resources, Szczyrk provides a good example of the spatial transformations taking place in recent years. The changes also affect watercourses and areas indicated as eligible for the status of protected areas. Nevertheless, the changes now in progress not only fail to comply with the currently valid trends in architecture and urban planning, but also frequently copy erroneous solutions from the past. The existing situation calls for undertaking appropriate actions for the future, which will enable preservation of the natural environment in the possibly unchanged form so that it could coexist with humans and their activities.
