Ochrona przyrody na obszarach wiejskich. Zagadnienia wybrane

Abstract

The study is to consider two issues in the field of nature conservation. The first of them comes down to the question, whether the legal regulation concerning the area forms of nature protection is a kind of universal, or contains specific instruments relating only to rural areas. The second of the issues raised, is an attempt to answer the question of whether the legal regulation concerning the protection of nature can be seen as implementing the principle of sustainable development, especially in relation to rural areas. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the legislature does not provide „special” regime of nature conservation in rural areas, and the provisions of the Nature Conservation Act in principle implement the directive sustainable development, despite the fact that the term does not appear in the provisions of this Act.
