Analiza potencjału geoturystycznego rezerwatu przyrody nieożywionej Kajasówka
(Data obrony: 2018-10-15) Sosiński, Piotr
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Geologiczne i geomorfologiczne zainteresowanie rezerwatem Kajsówka wynika z faktu, iż jako izolowane wzgórze stanowi ono czytelny zrąb tektoniczny. W celu ochrony dziedzictwa geologicznego na obszarze Kajasówki w roku 1962 ustanowiono rezerwat przy-rody. Kajasówka była przedmiotem licznych prac badawczych. Rezerwat posiada szczególne znaczenie dla turystyki krajoznawczej a także geoedukacji bazującej na naukach o Ziemi, która realizowana jest w postaci geoturystyki. W pracy badawczej wykorzystano metodę waloryzacji geoturystycznej w celu oceny potencjału geoturystycznego obszaru.

Evaluation of the geotourism potential of selected geological sites in the eastern part of the borderland between the Siedlce Upland and Łuków Plain
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Orłowska, Anna
Evaluating the geotourism potential of geological objects is now one of the main directions of geotourism development in Poland. So far, these have been usually carried out for famous and interesting objects, which are situated in physical-geographical regions of great morphological-geological values and are places of high intensity tourism. However, recently more and more attempts have been made to evaluate geotourism potential of geological objects situated in the areas considered unattractive to tourists. This paper reports the results of such an attempt, which has been made in the eastern part of the borderland between two physical-geographical regions of low-intensity tourism, i.e. the Siedlce Upland and Łuków Plain. To evaluate the tourism potential of geological objects, the method of geosite evaluation has been used. The results allowed the author to distinguish the objects of high and unique scientific values, which may be proposed as geosites and a geotourist trails in the study area.

Evaluation of the geotouristic attractions from the Wojcieszów area
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2017) Muszer, Jolanta; Muszer, Antoni
The paper presents the results of geological and landscape studies in the Wojcieszów area (the Kaczawskie Mountains), which include investigation, inventory, documentation and a first of its kind evaluation of its geotourism objects. This area has high values of the natural environment and a rich geodiversity associated with a complicated geological structure (the Kaczawa unit, the metamorphic Kaczawa Complex). Some of the anthropogenic activities (mining), which have revealed interesting fragments of the geological structure, have also influenced the increase of geotourism attractions in this area. The area is one of the best examples of the region in the Sudetes, where economic considerations predominate over the protection of the natural environment. Since the 16th century, the crystalline Wojcieszów limestone was mined in numerous quarries (e.g. Silesia, Gruszka, Połom, and Miłek). In the limestone, intensive karst processes occurred mainly in the Paleogene (numerous caves and speleothems). As a result of economic activity, some of the caves had been permanently destroyed and the former »Połom« nature reserve was liquidated in the late 1970s. Currently, the only nature reserve is the »Góra Miłek in Wojcieszów«. The area around Wojcieszów is rich in numerous quarries, where other construction materials were obtained (e.g. phyllites, greenschists, and metarhyodacites). Since the 12th to 20th centuries, copper ore was also exploited (adits and shafts) in the Żeleźniak massif (east of Wojcieszów in the Radzimowice area). In the 20th century, uranium ore was mined at t Chmielarz Hill adit. Recently, the Cambrian limestones (Połom) and Quaternary deposits (Okrajnik, Stara Kraśnica) have been exploited. Paradoxically, economic activity, which caused destruction of some protected objects, has also enriched the geodiversity the Wojcieszów region. The results of the evaluation proved the signififificant geotouristic potential of the studied area. The most attractive geosites around Wojcieszów demonstrate typical lithologies of the Kaczawa Succession and depict the pre-Variscan geological evolution of the area.

Geoturystyka i geoedukacja w rezerwacie przyrody nieożywionej »Prządki« im. prof. Henryka Świdzińskiego
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Welc, Ewa Małgorzata; Miśkiewicz, Krzysztof
The »Prządki« inanimate nature reserve is one of the most recognizable and documented geosites of the Outer Carpathians. The history of research, protection and tourism has a long tradition here. It is also an object with great geotourism potential, due to well-preserved and exposed sandstone rocky forms, legibly dissected microrelief, cultural and ecological connections, as well as ease of access and sightseeing of this geosite. The paper presents the possibilities of geoeducation against the background of its geological structure, geomorphology, impact on local history and biotic values. A range of subjects for didactics is proposed. The most visible features, as well as further possibilities of development and access to this object are indicated.

Wykorzystanie potencjału geoturystycznego wybranych punktów widokowych w gminie Wieliczka
(Data obrony: 2017-07-05) Janus, Magdalena
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Tematyka pracy magisterskiej prezentuje potencjał geoturystyczny punktów widokowych w gminie Wieliczka. Głównym celem pracy jest promocja geoturystyki przez wskazanie nowych możliwości zwiedzania tego obszaru, będących alternatywą dla Kopalni Soli. Podstawowe składowe pracy to opis obszaru badań, charakterystyka i ocena punktów widokowych, a także opracowana przez Autorkę propozycja ich zagospodarowania. Ponadto prezentowane są autorskie projekty przebiegu trzech różnych szlaków turystycznych (pieszy, rowerowy, samochodowy) łączących zwaloryzowane punkty widokowe. Praca wzbogacona jest w rozdział poświęcony pozostałym zasobom wielickiej gminy i zwieńczona dyskusją nad waloryzacją punktów widokowych oraz wnioskami.
