Podmiejskie tereny otwarte - oczekiwania mieszkańców a lokalne dokumenty planistyczne (przykład podwarszawskiej gminy Lesznowola)

The aim of this article is to identify differences in residents' expectations when it comes to the future of suburban open green space. The article confronts the vision and the plans of further development of the municipality of Lesznowola municipality near Warsaw with the preferences of all the residents and property owners regarding future of undeveloped open green space. The article presents an analysis of the SStudy of cConditions and dDirections of sSpatial dDevelopment of Lesznowola municipality, local spatial development plans and Development Strategy of the Municipality of Lesznowola until 2021, as well as the results of the survey, which was conducted in April 2015 on a representative sample of the household members in the municipality. The study has showned that both the activity of local authorities, as well as the attitude of the residents, is conducive to the further dispersion of housing on open green space. Lesznowola bases its further development on the allocation of rural areas for housing, services and production. The majority of residents in turn are in favour of either further development of only single-family housing, or slowing down the current pace of development of the municipality and absolute protection of open green space against its further development. While residents perceive the development of large-scale production and service objects as a troublesome way of land use, they are rather not opposed to the expanding of single-family housing on the open green space. The study has found that not only local authorities, but also the residents themselves underestimate the problem of the loss of open green space. The dispersion of the housing and the domination of residential function is strengthened by the belief that owning a plot of land gives unlimited opportunities to pursue the owner's own interests.
