Edyta Rosłon-Szeryńska

Łomianki belongs to the urban-rural communes of Warsaw suburbs in Poland. There are a number of forms of protection in the commune, including Natura 2000 areas (31% of the area) and the Kampinos National Park (15%). The importance of nature as the green infrastructure of urbanized space is increasing due to the progressive climate change. The green infrastructure of the commune provides a number of ecosystem services. These areas are threatened by urbanization pressure.
The subject of this study is to develop guidelines for improving the functioning of green areas in the commune of Łomianki. For this purpose, small-scale, field and social studies were carried out, including extensive analyzes of legal acts and local documents determining the development of the commune. A survey was carried out among the inhabitants of the commune, which contributed to learning about their opinions and needs in the field of greenery. The proposed solutions are to become the basis for the sustainable management of green areas by the local government unit and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of the Łomianki commune.
