The concept of mid-field plantings according to gen. D. Chłapowski in modern landscape management of Wielkopolska on the example of the village of Białęgi–Trojanowo

Abstract

The purpose of the publication is to present design assumptions for spatial-landscape solutions for the areas of the Wielkopolska countryside, which were developed on the basis of analyses of historical spatial-landscape structures of the estate of Gen. D. Chłapowski in Turwi. The first stage of the research used the case study method, the result of which formed the basis for the development of the spatial development concept for the Trojanowo village area. At the second stage of the research, spatial-landscape analyses were carried out for the existing mid-field greenery structures in the park using photometric measurements. Thus, the types were established and the parameters of spatial-landscape structures with the participation of high greenery were read. The study was given to mid-field greenery structures occurring in the Landscape Park, which was established on the territory of the former estate – farm of Gen. D. Chłapowski in Turwi with an area of about 10 000 hectares. This park is now a historical, but still valid model for the management of the open landscape of the Greater Poland countryside in terms of improving environmental conditions for agricultural crops. Based on the results obtained, a concept was developed for the development of the Białęgi–Trojanowo village area, covering approximately 200 hectares, aimed at developing agriculture and restoring the cultural values of the degraded agricultural landscape. The concept also proposed the reconstruction of the former layout of the Trojanowo farm, the extension of field roads and an extensive system of field and roadside trees.
