Uwarunkowania kształtujące zachowanie człowieka na terenach zalewowych a antropogeniczne zmiany obiegu wody

Abstract

Despite attempts by the public authorities to limit the development of human activities in floodplain areas, people do not stop using or settling on such terrain. This paper aims to identify and briefly describe the determinants and factors influencing decisions to conduct activities in the floodplain areas. The current findings in the literature were taken as the object of analysis, and man as the subject of an individual decisionmaking process as the point of reference. Attention has also been paid to the interdependencies between the use of floodplains by man and changes in water circulation that reflect on the intensity of floods.
