Abstract：
Sustainable development policy emphasizes, among other things, the role of green areas in urban space. This remark applies in particular to post-industrial and post-mining cities. One of the elements of shaping the sustainable development of post-mining cities is that forests are often anthropogenic forest ecosystems growing in previously mining areas, one of the most characteristic elements of their spatial development. This article examines the role of urban forests in the post-mining area in Sosnowiec, located in the core of the Katowice conurbation in southern Poland. This article aimed to show the social perception of forests in post-mining areas among the local community and the features of urban forests. The social dimension of the interaction between humans and the environment is related to the issue of urban planning. Research was implemented based on quantitative, qualitative (CATI survey), and cartographic methods. The results indicate the significant role of forests in post-mining areas depending on their location in the settlement areas in a post-industrial city. The research emphasizes that residents perceive forests in post-mining areas of cities as an essential and expected recreational space. Notably, half of them do not see any threats therein. It is also expected that these areas will be better developed for recreational purposes in the future.
摘要：
可持续发展政策强调，除其他外，绿地在城市空间中的作用。这句话特别适用于后工业和后采矿城市。形成后采矿城市可持续发展的要素之一是，森林通常是在以前的矿区中生长的人为森林生态系统，他们空间发展的最典型要素之一。本文研究了城市森林在Sosnowiec的后矿区中的作用，位于波兰南部卡托维兹城市的核心。本文旨在展示当地社区对采矿后地区森林的社会认知以及城市森林的特征。人与环境互动的社会层面与城市规划问题有关。研究是基于定量的，定性(CATI调查)，和制图方法。结果表明，森林在后矿区中的重要作用取决于其在后工业城市定居区中的位置。研究强调，居民将城市采矿后地区的森林视为必不可少的休闲空间。值得注意的是,其中一半没有看到任何威胁。预计未来这些地区将更好地发展用于娱乐目的。
