Abstract
Disappearing spatial identity of the hydraulic civilization of the Vistula delta river in Poland influences potential, desirable behaviors of the water communities in the conditions of climate disaster. After the Second World War the cultural landscape of this area has changed due to a lack of understanding of the semantic code. An attempt to reconstruct the code, search for a strong identity of the delta region in the conditions of climate disaster is the purpose of the research. Is it possible to build resilience to climate change-related disasters? What role does the revitalization of waterways have in the process of spatial transformation? The answer to the research question about the impact of the climate catastrophe on resilience and spatial identity is important due to planning decisions. Processes that the region may undergo in the face of flood risk are associated with community behavior. Therefore, an attempt was made to analyze historical floods and related spatial transformations. A review of the literature and cartographic sources allows you to learn about the effects of floods. These are associated with the evolution of spatial development. Therefore, in the future, the probable solutions should be subjected to analysis that allows the identification of elements of the semantic code that affect the region's permanent resilience. The spatial identity of the hydraulic civilization of the Vistula delta river in Poland can be strengthened by a responsible, strong water community.
