Procedures of valuation of interactions towards the environment (OOS), which has been a tool of environment protection policy in our country since 1990 , aim at providing entities included into a decision process with information on consequences which an introduced plan, program or ventures have on the environment. Apart from plans of special development OOS are an important tool for protection of suburban landscapes. They allow complex and systematic presentation of the knowledge about potential results of actions and possibilities of their avoidance or alleviation. The efficacy of suburban landscapes protection depends on the quality of drawn up reports (reliable and accurate information about planned investment and its potential interactions) and enforcing the investors to act on behalf of landscape protection by the administration.
The important directions for landscape shaping of suburban zones are enclosed in provisions of national, European Union and international legislation as well as in the cardinal ecological principles of nature protection. The most important ecological and spatial problems of suburban zones, typical for Warsaw and other big towns, are: 1) chaos of spatial management-dispersion of sites, domination of development, 2) rapid changes of proportion between biologically active and non-biologically active areas; 3) rapid fulfilment of space with anthropogenic non-natural elements having often forms disharmonised with surroundings and site tradition, 4) increasing fragmentation of biologically active areas and ecological isolation. The rational spatial management, realised consistently in accordance with long-term spatial policy, is the only tool to stop these undesirable processes. Physical development plans should be obligatory for all areas. Systems of natural areas and proecological provisions should be widely introduced in physical planning. The urgent need is to define maximal ranges for development in towns and mark out areas for realisation of natural system and ecological connections.
The article Suburban Areas of Wrocław city and their part in perspective realities of the 19th century stressed the fact that suburban areas of Wrocław city are a valuable load of cultural landscape which can bring the city manifold benefits and quanti-tively enriching its listed architecture. Restoring listed and destroyed special sets, palaces, gardens and parks to society they can be designated for international tourism. According to the authors of the publication, tourism should be perceived by self-governments of the cities and historical regions in Poland as one of essential factors of economical development. The authors of the article in a short form present the program whose assignment is preservation of the cultural landscape and restoration of its calculable values manifesting in listed architecture and in spatial sets of gardens and parks. Recreation of the destroyed parts can have the character of slavish reconstruction but can also preserve the old form in a different material and in a modern depiction. They stress that the effort put in both the first and the second form of "rebuilding" can have a positive meaning for the conception of creating a chain of relics of the past, out of suburban residences surrounding Wrocław city and presenting the advantages of a cultural landscape and the results of historical landscape protection in an international ring.
In the article entitled New Tendencies in Suburban Architecture in the Warsaw Area and Their Influence on Landscape PhD Jeremi T. Królikowski presents an outline of the research problem which he has been running since 1995. In the present publication the author notices that in the past few years in the suburban Warsaw landscape there has appeared such dominant elements as great trading centres and warehouses characterised with homogenous and commercial architecture which does not take into consideration the fact that the surroundings are of minimized esthetical value. In turn in the last few decades the housing substance of suburban Warsaw sets went through a period of monotony caused by norms and classification according to a type and was slowly overcome in the 1980s. Not until the 1990s did the variety of overlying trends, received by some observers as chaos, increase. Simultaneously voices appeared which were postulating restoring the equilibrium and order by introducing unification of patterns. Next the author discuses a dozen or so examples of modern housing building from Warsaw suburban districts leading to the final conclusion that architectonical tendencies which can be observed in the last few years in the neighbourhood of Warsaw are developing spontaneously under the influence of political, economical and social factors. Among the tools shaping the consciousness of receivers media play an important part which try in this simple way to direct their tastes. The character of Warsaw's suburban landscape will also depend on recognition of the complexity of the problem.
