Zastosowanie punktowej oceny stanu zachowania zabytkowych założeń rezydencjonalno-ogrodowych. Studium przypadku: wicimice i iglice (województwo zachodniopomorskie)

Abstract

Aim of the study: The objective of the article is to apply a scoring evaluation method to residential and garden sites and evaluate historic, aristocratic parks in Wicimice and Iglice (Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship, Poland). The results are intended to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, identify its strengths and weaknesses, and guide its improvement. In addition, it tells the story of the objects and depicts their current situation. Material and methods: The evaluation of each of the parks followed a site visit. The scoring evaluation involves several critical domains: site exploitation, state of compositions, state of architecture (including small structures and park furniture), state of vegetation, and state of the surroundings. The potential maximum score is 21 points. Each component can be evaluated as being in a ‘good’, ‘moderate’, and ‘poor’ state. ‘Good’ state is assigned to parks that scored not fewer than 14 points. The ‘moderate’ state is from 8 to 13 points, and the ‘poor’ state, from 0 to 7 points. Results and conclusions: The state of the palaces in Wicimice and Iglice was evaluated as poor. The cause for this is significantly complex and comprises ‘revolutionary changes’ regarding property ownership after 1945 and 1989. The best-scoring domains were the surroundings of the objects (3 and 2 points for the parks in Wicimice and Iglice, respectively), which may encourage potential buyers to invest in the sites. Natural landscapes, forests, and listed cultural heritage are noteworthy. The applied scoring method for evaluating residential and garden sites has been demonstrated to be effective in this case as assumed.
