Description

Description (EN):

The project focuses on natural heritage of two self-governments which is an organic part of lives of their citizens. In case of the municipality of Veľké Úľany, it includes forest park with an equestrian facility with nearby lake. Concerning the muni cipality of Jánossomorja, it is a park in the centre of the municipality on St. Stephan Street. This park has been created on place where clay for brick-production was extracted in the past. Both of the natural structures are hence part of the urban areas where industrial production took or is still taking part. Therefore, history of these fragments of nature and their function in the localities is rather specific. To highlight their position and need for protection of nature, both of the areas will be revitalized and thus obtain new role in the context of connecting sport and nature together. The project is bringing nature and urban utilization of the area together and hence connects nature and functionality. This will mean to use the fore st park in the municipality of Veľké Úľany as an area for horse riding since the sport activities will be performed by still preserving natural heritage. In the municipality of Jánossomorja, it will be achieved by connecting functions of park, sports field and playground. In order to use natural heritage better, also the activities focused on knowing local nature and raising awareness of citizens, mainly children, of need of natural protection, will be realized within the project. Altogether, th e project includes construction and social activities that will support better utilization of natural heritage in medium-size country agglomerative units.

Description (SK):

Projekt sa zameriava na prírodné dedičstvo dvoch samospráv, ktoré tvorí organickú súčasť životov obyvateľov. V prípade Veľkých Úľan sa jedná o lesopark s jazdeckým areálom, v blízkosti ktorého sa nachádza štrkovisko. V prípade mesta Jánossomorja sa jedná o park v centre mesta na ulici sv. Štefana. Jedná sa o park, ktorý vznikol na mieste niekdajšej jamy, v ktorej sa ťažila hlina na výrobu tehál. Obe prírodné štruktúry sú teda súčasťou urbárnych území v ktorých prebiehala, resp. stále prebieha priemyselná výroba. Tieto fragmenty prírody majú teda špecifickú minulosť a hlavne funkciu v daných lokalitách. Pre zvýraznenie ich postavenia a zvýraznenia potreby ochrany prírody sa obe lokality zrevitalizujú, čím získajú nový účel v kontexte spojenia športu s funkciu prírody. Projekt v tomto smere posúva hranice medzi prírodou a urbárnym využitím lokality a spája prírodu s funkcionalitou. Funkcionalita bude využitie lesoparku vo Veľkých Úľanoch ako areálu na jazdectvo a športové vyžitie popri zachovaní prírodných daností. Funkcionalita parku v meste Jánossomorja bude daná spojením funkcií parku, športoviska a hracej plochy pre deti. V kontexte lepšieho využitia prírodného dedičstva sa v rámci projektu budú taktiež realizovať aktivity zamerané na poznávanie lokálnej prírody a zvyšovanie povedomia občanov, najmä detí o potrebe jej ochrany. Celkovo projekt zahŕňa stavebné a spoločenské aktivity, ktoré podporia lepšie využitie prírodného dedičstva v stredne veľkých vidieckych aglomeračných jednotkách.

Description (HU):

A projekt középpontjában mindkét község természeti öröksége áll, amely szerves részét képezik a lakosság mindennapi életének. Nagyfödémes esetében egy lovas központtal rendelkező erdei parkról van szó a kavicsbánya közelében. A határon átnyúló partnernél, Jánossomorja város közepében a projekt egy parkra irányul, amely a Szent István utcában található. Ez a park egy valamikori bányászatra használt területen jött létre, ahol a téglagyártáshoz szükséges nyersanyagokat bányásztak. Mindkét természeti struktúra, része azoknak az urbanizációs területeknek, ahol az ipari gyártás folyamatban volt, illetve folyamatban van. Ezek a természeti fragmentumok tehát specifikus múlttal és funkciókkal rendelkeznek az adott térségekben. Hogy kiemeljék eme természeti fragmentumokat és rámutassanak a természet védelmezésének fontosságára, mindkét területet felújítják, melynek köszönhetően új célokkal bővülnek a térségek. A projekt a természet és a városiasodás közé tolva határait csatlakoztatja a természetet és a város által kínált lehetőségeket egymáshoz. Nagyfödémes esetében a természeti örökségeket a sport aktivitások, illetve a lovaglás által szeretnék megőrizni. Jánossomorja közepében játszóterek, sportpályák kiépítésével törekszenek a természeti örökségek megőrzésére. A természeti örökségek megőrzésének érdekében az aktivitások a helyi természeti kincsek bemutatására irányulnak, melynek köszönhetően a látogatók tudatosítják a természet védelmének és megőrzésének fontosságát. Összegezve tehát a projekt, építési és olyan közös aktivitásokat foglal magába, amelyek a természeti lehetőségek kihasználását támogatják.

Achievements (EN):

Increasing the attractiveness of two natural areas and connecting human activities with exploring nature. The project focused on the natural heritage of two municipalities, which originated from former industrial areas in Veľké Úľany and Jánossomorja. In the case of the village Veľké Úľany it is a forest park with an equestrian area in the vicinity of which there is a gravel pit. In the case of Jánossomorja town it is a park in its centre in St. Stephen Street, which originated on the site of the former pit, where clay used to be mined clay for the production of bricks. These fragments of nature have a specific past and, in particular, a function in the given localities. Both localities were revitalized within the project, gaining a new purpose in the context of connecting sport and nature. In this respect, the project has shifted the boundaries between natural and urban use of sites. It added new functions to both territories and extended the possibilities of their use. At the same time, the citizens of both self-governments were confronted with getting to know the local nature and raising awareness, especially of children, about the need for natural protection. This gave rise to a coherent complex of activities that brought together man and nature and changed the view of the usability of natural areas. Both areas became dominant features of both municipalities. Better use of natural heritage in medium-sized rural agglomeration units has been encouraged. 'The project named Fragments of Nature helped both the village of Veľké Úľany and the town of Jánossomorja to cope with the natural areas / parks that lie in their land registers. These were under-utilized, neglected areas, which, in our opinion, had great potential. This consisted in extending the possibilities of using parks for other activities than before. However, the emphasis was on preserving the natural character. Our citizens associated both parks with nature. Thanks to the project, we managed to revitalize both territories and added new functions to them. In the forest park in Veľké Úľany a toilet for visitors was built, the service building was rebuilt, stands and a playground were built. The existing premises thus acquired a new dress and will be used almost all year round. In Jánossomorja town the park changed its appearance almost completely. Sports facilities were installed in the park, the playground was extended and modernized, and paths across the park were modified. In this way, we have prepared new areas for citizens, which will enable them to spend their free time in nature. Other activities have directly involved citizens, especially our youngest ones, in exploring nature - collecting leaves, plants, outdoor sports, or getting to know individual trees in both villages. This has ensured that our citizens were more closely connected with the surrounding nature. The added value of the project was that our communities joined together to preserve the natural heritage and that we worked together to make our citizens better aware of the surrounding nature and spending more time in it.' - Ing. František Gőgh, DBA. – main coordinator (mayor of Veľké Úľany) 'The project involved a wide range of citizens from young people to seniors. We have seen this in the investments made, which are intended for all citizens, of primarily for the youngest. I was also present at other activities where the project outputs were generated. I am glad that the municipality has joined this project, because we acquired a 21st century park in the town of Jánossomorja, but even children had the opportunity to meet each other with children from Velké Úľany. The connection with nature and the focus on children was of great importance in my opinion. I believe that both parks and the other project outputs will serve everyone for many years.' - Names Csaba (Jánossomorja).
