Środowiskowa problematyka geologiczno-inżynierska w planowaniu przestrzennym

The paper presents an application of geological-engineering aspects to new conditions of town and country planning in Poland. Historically, the role of engineering geology in planning process increase. The most difficult problems are in mining areas, where degradation of soils pertains to more than 30% of surface. Proper application of engineering geology to land management required a development of mapping, telemetry methods and monitoring of environmental conditions. Current changes in procedures ought to include engineering process both at the local and regional stage of planning. Economy analysis of alternative solutions should be included in methodology of the engineering assessment.
