The article presents the rationale behind the construction of the Oder-Vistula-Dniester Canal, the implementation phase of the project, the environmental impact and the remaining contemporary vestiges of the investment. The spatial turn approach has been used to study the state of inland navigation and the political and economic factors linked to it, both at the level of the Empire as a whole and at the level of Galicia and the micro-regions. The enactment of the Waterways Act 1901 was the result of political dealings, with economic considerations being of secondary importance. For the Empire, the canal was a means of appeasing national sentiment, while the regulation of the rivers flowing into the canal was seen by the local community as a means of preventing flooding. The inhabitants of the areas along the canal's route were opposed to the canal because it restricted their access to land. Despite attempts to continue the project after the collapse of the Empire, the project was eventually abandoned, leaving the canal and its associated investments as an infrastructural legacy of the Habsburg Empire. The canal had its greatest impact on the Carpathian rivers, the regulation of which irrevocably destroyed the natural bottoms of the valleys.

奥得河-维斯瓦河-德涅斯特运河 - 哈布斯堡王朝的基础设施遗产


本文介绍了奥得河-维斯瓦河-德涅斯特运河建设背后的基本原理、项目的实施阶段、环境影响以及投资的剩余现代遗迹。空间转向方法已被用于研究内河航运的状况以及与之相关的政治和经济因素，包括整个帝国的层面以及加利西亚和微观区域的层面。1901 年《水道法》的颁布是政治交易的结果，经济考虑是次要的。对于帝国来说，运河是安抚民族情绪的一种手段，而当地社区将对流入运河的河流的监管视为防止洪水的一种手段。运河沿线地区的居民反对运河，因为它限制了他们获得土地的机会。尽管在帝国崩溃后试图继续该项目，但该项目最终被放弃，运河及其相关投资成为哈布斯堡帝国的基础设施遗产。运河对喀尔巴阡山脉河流的影响最大，对喀尔巴阡山脉河流的监管不可逆转地破坏了山谷的天然底部。
