Ekonomiczno-prawna analiza racjonalności regulacji dotyczących powiększania obszarów parków narodowych w Polsce – zarys problematyki

Abstract

The issue of the enlargement of existing national parks in Poland, along with the creation of new parks, is a crucial element in protecting the country’s strategic natural resources. This issue is an interdisciplinary one and must be seen not only from the environmental point of view but also from the standpoint of social and economic impact. Where lack of agreement on the enlargement of a national park occurs it is inevitable that an expropriation procedure will ensue, limiting the constitutional right of property. Even the protective cover of national parks considerably reduces economic activity, for example by restricting local plans for spatial development. The existence of a realistic procedure for the enlargement of national parks as well as the creation of new parks, is necessary for preserving the country’s natural resources even though it needs significant legislative changes.
