Over time, fragmentation of semi-natural habitats in urban areas has become a pressing concern, disrupting ecological processes within cities. The focus on preserving open ecosystems has grown, highlighting the need to enhance resilience in urban riverside areas for effective ecosystem restoration. Comprehensive studies on river valleys, considering both hydrology and ecology, play a crucial role in urban river ecosystem development. Our article explores the potential of protective zones with urban vegetation and watercourses as Nature-based Solution within Krakow's ongoing riverine park system development. The study's cross-sections in the River Park area revealed dominant velocities ranging from 0.67 to 2.0 m s-1 for SWQ (mean annual maximum flow) and below 0.67 m s-1 for Q1% (1% annual exceedance probability flow). The hydrological analysis accurately captured the natural river bed channels' curvature, providing the basis for a two-dimensional mathematical model to visualize the hydraulic structure of protected sites. Integrating water and greenery management systems in urban areas offers significant potential for adapting to climate change, mitigating extreme weather events. Our research's novelty lies in applying 2D hydraulic modeling, demonstrating how River Parks can serve as climate change mitigation solutions in urban environments.

High growth of human population and dynamic socio-economic development have contributed to mounting demand for electric energy. Currently, electric energy is mainly generated from mined and combusted fossil fuels and by the nuclear power plants. The current geopolitical crisis forces mankind to reflect upon the search for alternative energy sources. In this paper analyses of the potential solar radiation volume for 12 months and annual total have been made and visualized on the maps. Additionally, the energy volume gained by the photovoltaic systems in a 12-month period and the annual total as well as underutilised solar radiation energy were calculated. It was found that the tested sites had a solar potential in the range from 113 kWh·m-² to 1314 kWh·m-². For process reasons, only 18 to 203 kWh·m-² could be converted into electric energy, which accounts approximately for 1/5 of the total radiation. The results can be useful to show the best investment site for commercial plants and households in the mountainous area. Surplus energy output should be stored or sold to the power grid. Moreover, the energy source from photovoltaic panels in these areas is only one of the options for green energy generation. investment site for commercial plants and households in the mountainous area.
