The integrated assessment of natural resources status at the rural commune – case study of the Olszanka, Mazovian Voivodeship

Abstract

The assessment of the possibilities of the integrated index method application for the determination of the environmental resources values to mark out the developing trends for the rural commune was the aim of the work. The typical agricultural commune Olszanka, located in Mazovian Voivodeship, was chosen for the case study. The land use structure, the quality of agricultural production area, water, soil, air, biological diversity and landscape were being analyzed as the components of the natural agricultural environment. The high spatial differentiation of analyzed components of the rural environment was proved. The applied method may be used for working out the development strategy for another rural communes, because it takes into consideration the status of area resources in qualitive, quantative and spatial forms and enables the assessment of the issue in systemic way with accuracy suffi cient to the problem complexity.
