TY - GEN N2 - Water storage reservoir in the Kluczbork municipality in Ligota Zamecka is located on the Stobrawa river. In 1997 the river flooded surrounding towns and villages. It was decided to build a reservoir that during successive flood states would protect residents. The aim of this study is to analyze the possibility of using water reservoir in Kluczbork municipality for recreation and tourism purposes. The results of two surveys conducted among residents of Ligota Zamecka have been analyzed. The residents could express their opinion about the project. The first questionnaire was conducted at the time when local community was only aware of the project to build retention and recreation reservoir in Kluczbork. The second survey was conducted when the reservoir was completed and filled with water. The results indicate the change in the attitude of inhabitants towards the reservoir – the opinions were mostly positive. They think that it would be a good promotion for the Kluczbork municipality. Moreover, the physico-chemical properties of water from the reservoir were examined. The samples were collected in the autumn and spring below the inlet of Stobrawa river into the preliminary tank and at the inlet into the main tank.

Decrease of population is unequally distributed. Nineteen communes lost more than 20% of their inhabitants and in six among them the decrease exceeded 30% ( up to 36.2%). Only five communes experienced a slight increase of population. According to the demographic prognosis, in 2050 rural areas are expected to be inhabited by approx. 385 thous. people –19.6 % less than now. These changes are going to be a continuation of the already consolidated depopulation processes, which have started about 40 years ago. Such condition distinguishes the Opolskie Voivodship and predestines it to becoming an experimental ground for demographic transformation research and forming of conclusions to counteract the inevitable impact of depopulation. The regional strategy Special Demographic Zone Programme – ‘Opolskie for a family’ does not take into consideration the problem of village vanishing, although the existence of such process is implied by the scale of population decrease. The village vanishing process, depicted by the Wilków village case study, corresponds with the model of a negative development spiral, formulated in Austria by G. Weber in 2006. This process after occurrence of an triggering factor, e.g. lack of jobs, manifests itself as a sequence of multiple negative feedbacks. The author distinguishes phases of this sequence indicating factors, e.g. financial transfers from job emigration and EU structural funds, which have slowed down the process in the Opolskie Voivodship. Between 2002 and 2012 inhabitants number decrease took place in 3/4 of villages. In 244 villages it exceeded 1% per year. In 1/3 of villages between 2008 and 2013 no flat was built. These numbers depict to what extent villages in the region are endangered by vanishing. In the final parts of this article perspectives of further rural transformations in the region were discussed and a counteract strategy was outlined.
