TY - GEN N1 - 24 cm N2 - The article concerns the issue of disparity in the level of meeting the housing needs in the rural areas of Poland. This may be regarded as a basic determinant of households’ standard of living. The goal of conducted research was an attempt to identify the level of diversification in housing status, as well as subjective assessment of life quality in rural areas and comparing these with selected unbiased characteristics of material conditions of examined entities. The number of people per 1 room in a flat, average number of square meters per capita in a flat or living in a separate dwelling were assumed as representative indicators of a household’s housing status. Selected characteristics of housing quality were also examined. A comparative analysis of the relationship between the self-assessment of housing situation, its objective characteristics and selected characteristics of households included in particular socio-economic groups was carried out. The analysis has proven a strong correlation between satisfying the households’ needs and the level of income. It is also worth to emphasise the significant impact of the reference group (the socio-economic group of households was adopted) on the self-assessment of housing status. Statistical analysis methods were implemented. The study employed data derived from the panel survey on household budget in Poland in 2016 conducted by the Central Statistical Office.

The study was conducted basing on results of the European Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and household budgets of the Central Statistical Office of Poland. Assessment of rural population’s life quality was based on indicators characterizing the unbiased living conditions (income, expenses, infrastructure, environment, housing and furnishings) as well as subjective evaluation. However, in assessing the life quality, environmental and climatic advantages of rural areas were not taken into account. Basic indicators relate to individuals or households. Life quality in rural areas is lower than in urban ones, which is primarily due to inferior income of rural residents. Furthermore, the level of expenditure is lower, mainly regarding high rank needs. Rural areas are characterized by lower equipment in basic technical infrastructure and durable – especially modern goods – in comparison to urban areas. Inhabitants of rural areas subjectively assess their life quality to be worse than the urban population. They also believe that possibility of satisfying their needs is lower than in cities.

A distinctive feature of the ESV, compared to other market-based valuation methods is the assumption that public goods exert an endogenous impact upon resources and their productivity, but do not act in the model as exogenous variables (as it is in the case of hedonic pricing methods; the HPM). The authors’ approach limits the issues related to the specification bias within the HPM. Moreover, this manner reduces the problems associated with model specification errors in the HPM. The authors argue that ignoring the endogenous impact of public goods on resources and their productivity can lead to distorted results.

In onnection with this, an urgent task is appropriate shaping of green areas to provide better living conditions in cities. In recent times, the idea of the vegetation in cities (including of spontaneous origin) being subject to naturalisation has gained strong promotion as urban greenspace is being planned. There are many examples of spontaneous vegetation forming an aspect of the planning of greenspace in Europe, the United States, and Poland also. However, differing views expressed by inhabitants act to limit the use – and level of acceptance – of urban areas’ spontaneous vegetation. Nevertheless, thanks to progressing ecological education, areas with synanthropic vegetation of a “more natural” character are proving increasingly acceptable to the public. .

Subsequent field reconnaissance connected with drilling into the geological structure, confirmed that one form located NW of Gdańsk, was indeed a fossil pingo. The aforementioned forms occur in a moraine plateau area related to the last ice-sheet retreat towards the Gardno phase moraine. This surface of the plateau is noticeably inclined south-north, at elevations of between 170 and 110 metres. It in fact proved possible to identify more than 80 very well-developed fossil pingos in the area investigated, with each found to consist of a central depression of average diameter 60‒80 m, as surrounded by a rampart 3–7 m high. By drilling into the central parts of the fossil pingos, we found them to be filled with organic sediments up to 6 or 7 m deep. The bottom layer of infill has carbonate and mineral-carbonate gyttjas up to 2 m thick. These are overlain by a peat layer up to 4 m thick, while these organic sediments are underlain by gley till sand. The ramparts are of sandy till frequently intercalated with silty sand. The established sequence of infilling of the central parts of the fossil pingos indicates that, in the immediate aftermath of ice-core melting, these played host to small ponds in which the accumulation of gyttja was able to take place. The gradual accumulation of lake-bottom sediments resulted in a shallowing of the ponds and the development of peat bogs. The morphological image of the above forms and initial drilling in the studied area suggest an association between their genesis and the presence of an ice-cored mound of the pingo type, experiencing subsequent degradation in the direction of the current, fossil pingo, form. Besides the classical, literal morphology of these forms, a decisive argument for acceptance of the above concept is provided by rampart lithology indicating how essential slow processes were in their accumulation. The nature and thickness of the organic infilling in the central part of a post-pingo prove equally important, suggesting an extended period of lake and peat-bog accumulation, probably lasting for the entire Holocene. The aforementioned arguments allow for the precluding of any origin linked with direct human activity (ground construction, bomb craters). The high density and close proximity and morphological similarity of the forms are likewise inimical to an identification as craters caused by above-ground meteorite explosions. Likewise, comparative analysis of the studied forms and kettle holes (usually larger irregularly-shaped larger forms of varied bottom topography) fails to indicate that the ring forms under study here have somehow arisen through the melting of buried dead ice. Analysis of deep boreholes made previously may support a geological structure of the analysed area consisting of a sand layer over 90 metres thick covered by a discontinuous till moraine several metres thick. The thick sand layer in question consists of differently-aged glaciofluvial sediments. This is a hydrogeological window connecting three main Quaternary aquifers and offering a perfect location for the ascension of groundwater. In conditions of developing discontinuous permafrost, this movement led to the creation of pingo forms in open systems on the surface. It is clear that investigation work is not currently at a stage allowing for about as to age to be made, or all details regarding evolution provided. However, the results of planned geomorphological, hydrogeological and geochronological studies should provide for both the recognition and detailed definition of the forms, thereby prompting discussion as to the evolution of permafrost during the late Weichselian transgression and recession in Central Europe.

In these mutually conditioned interactions, two processes playing a key role are the so-called landscape perception and landscape projection. This article presents: (1) a review of theories playing a key role in the development of knowledge on landscape perception; (2) the basis for landscape projection as a logical and creative continuation of perception processes; (3) an outline of the theory of physiognomic landscape structure and of possibilities for it to gain practical application; (4) the results of the first Polish research into the public’s expectations where quality of the landscape is concerned. Perception of the landscape entails the receipt of stimuli from surrounding space with the help of the senses. It serves primarily in knowledge-based transformation of landscape systems, in a manner that meets ever-more exacting requirements on the part of society when it comes to living in an environment of the highest quality. Only a little scientific work has been devoted to the process of landscape projection. This is therefore a new research field, just opening up, which has the potential to give rise to a group of space-projection theories.

The research was carried out at twelve research sites located in two regional units, i.e. (a) the northern part of mesoregion 842.72 West Lake District in the macroregion of the Lithuanian Lake District and (b) in the southern part of mesoregion 313.44 Damnicka Upland, within the macroregion of the Koszalin Coastland. By administrative division, these positions are respectively: in the gmina of Dubeninki, voivodeship of Warmian-Masury (Rogajny and Łoje), and in the gmina of Przerośl in Podlasie voivodeship (Rakówek) – hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Dubeninki area”; as well as in the gmina of Potęgowo in the Pomeranian Voivodship (villages of Wieliszewo, Malczkowo, Darżyno and Darżynko – hereinafter referred to as the “Potęgowo area”). Four of the research sites were located in fields of large area, and four in complexes of small fields subject to traditional cultivation. The faunistic data comes from 12 transects (6 for each regional unit and 3 for each field type – large-area fields and complexes of small fields) using standard trapping methods (Barber˙s traps). A set of landscape-structure indicators adapted to the local scale of the study was then applied. Results point to a relationship between the structure of the landscape, the expressed number of patches of plant communities, the diversity of vegetation in the surroundings and the presence of trees in the landscape, and species richness and diversity of ground beetles. Where agricultural areas nevertheless have a diversified landscape these are characterised by greater species richness of Carabidae than homogeneous areas. Furthermore, the shorter the distance to the nearest tree, the greater the species richness and diversity of Carabidae. However, soil type, as well as soil diversity, at a study site and its vicinity are not found to exert a direct impact on the species richness of Carabidae. Different soil types may be characterised by similar grain size, and thus similar humidity conditions and soil reaction, with these in turn determining other habitat conditions of importance to the studied taxon.

Presented here are: 1) selected holistic approaches to the cultural landscape, with particular attention paid to the added value of the current approach; 2) the rationale behind the devastated landscape being assigned to a separate category, rather than considered under the “cultural landscape” heading – and the essence of the associated typological separateness, as a logical inference from the interaction of the anthropogenic and natural systems in the formation of landscape properties, which emphasises the disappearance of cultural patterns as a devastated landscape is created; 3) an outline of research themes pertaining to landscape connectivity and permeability, as well as inter-penetration, with parallel depiction of substantive premises underpinning a somewhat different treatment of these properties. Given the progressive withdrawal of the term natural landscape, and also taking account of the category of cultural landscape and the level of anthropogenic pressure, the authors propose the division of the landscape into 3 categories: primary, cultural and devastated. This denotes an intentional separation and distinguishing of the devastated landscape, with the addition of this category justified in terms of the disappearance of cultural patterns that the formation of such a landscape entails.

Part of the reason for that is relative rarity on the scale of Europe as a whole, and also in Poland. This in turn reflects the way in which fertile habitats were, in their majority, deforested long ago, drained and changed into grasslands or arable land. Additionally, the greater part of these habitats have lost their specific features, as a result of river engineering and – primarily – the construction of the river embankments that have acted to limit flooding and alluvial processes, in that way also initiating change in the composition of both soils and plant communities. Specifically, this article presents selected results of the research project: Riparian hardwood forest services in the middle Vistula river valley. One of the main objectives thereof was to assess the condition of forest ecosystems from which flooding has now been absent for at least 50 years, as well as to prepare guidelines for actions necessary to maintain or restore their diversity, and proper ecological and biological functions. Our research questions therefore revolved around components of riparian hardwood forest ecosystems have been most changed … and why? The research was conducted in six riparian hardwood forests (to date unmonitored) located in the valley of the middle Vistula (in Mazowieckie voivodship). Relevant work was carried out using the standard monitoring guidelines – as primarily based on an assessment of vegetation composition and structure together with water conditions. However, in the work in question, these were augmented by additional analyses allowing for detailed characterisations of soil, the topoclimate, and the species diversity achieved by selected groups of invertebrate (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Bombus and Haplotaxida: Lumbricidae). The communities selected represent multi-functional, species-rich forests. Extensive use of the studied riparian mixed forests ensures that deadwood resources are quite considerable. Moreover, the studied forests exert a strong impact when it comes to mitigation of climate locally. The observed soil types indicate fertile and biologically-active habitats, as well as to soil development largely determined by the height of the groundwater table causing the gleyic process in the lower parts of profiles. However, in some forest patches it is possible to note transformations related to habitat drying, with significant canopy gaps and disturbances of topsoil and the undergrowth. There was a great abundance of invasive alien plant species (mainly Impatiens parviflora) in the undergrowth. Moisture conditions have an impact on the occasional occurrence of Lumbricidae associated with wet and flooded areas. In turn, the domination by Bombus of open-habitat species indicates a transformation of forest structure, and the patchy nature of riparian forests located in a rural landscape. The obtained results demonstrate that protective actions should focus on ensuring adequate soil-moisture conditions, and on restoring the natural structure of vegetation with a view to invasions of alien species being hampered. Another important issue is the proper use of land adjacent to forest patches, as fallows prove to be invaded quickly by the kenophytes preferring abandoned and disturbed places.

Presented study is based on analyses of statistical data derived from the Central Statistical Office (CSO), Department of Social Economy and Public Benefit (DSEPB), the Ministry of Finance (MF) and the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy (MLSP). Due to restricted availability of data, the research covers the period of 2010‒2016. Author has outlined characteristics of PBOs in rural areas in terms of their number, distribution, type, statutory goal of the measure and amounts received under the voluntary transfer of 1% of income tax. Based upon conducted analyses, one may conclude that the nature of PBOs activity is linked to the type of location (cities-village) and characteristics of actions carried out. PBOs in rural areas play an important social role, but their economic significance depends on the activity of a specific non-governmental entity.

In case when this process is uncontrolled, the risk of a serious imbalance in spatial order of the village is arising. One of the tools for positive functional and spatial changes in rural areas is the village renewal. This action is characterized by complexity in satisfying the needs of local communities and solving issues and inconvenience related to rural life. Village renewal may be implemented by the means of the village renewal plan, which includes tasks to be accomplished by the local community. The aim of this article is to identify directions of functional and spatial transformation of the village in the context of village renewal plans. The starting point for research was the overview of priority tasks to be implemented in the village renewal plans. In total, approximately 500 randomly selected plans were analyzed using the representative method. On this basis, ten main types of action areas were identified, which were then analyzed with respect to regional diversity in two subsequent research periods (2007‒2013 and 2014‒2018). Main changes in preferences and implementation of tasks within particular action areas were also examined. It was observed that in general, villages tend to undertake actions related to sport, tourism and recreation. Enhancing transportation and communication functions is also very important. On the other hand, villages are least likely to focus on action areas for economic development. In addition, the author has attempted to investigate the current stage in advancement concerning village renewal process in Polish rural areas.

In recent years, the civic budget, also called participatory budget, has become a widespread form of encouraging inhabitants to actively participate in actions undertaken by local authorities. It has been successful primarily in large cities in Poland. However, this initiative, although on a minor scale, has also been implemented in rural areas. The research objectives of this study include: identification of rural and urban-rural communes employing civic budgeting in rural areas of Poland in 2017. Moreover, the author has identified rural municipalities taking advantage of the civic budget as a tool of social participation. Characteristics of submitted projects, including financial and structural terms have also been presented. This study is an attempt of filling the gap in the scientific literature, as the civic budget in the Polish cities is relatively well recognized, the initiative in rural areas has not yet become the subject of the research. At the same time, it should be noted that study on civic budget in rural areas is in need of further in-depth analysis.

This economic sector has boasted virtually uninterrupted growth over time, despite occasional shocks, demonstrating its strength and resilience. In 2017, it contributed to 10% of the global GDP. For this reason, in the UNWTO Tourism Highlights (2017) it has been called a key to development, prosperity and well-being. However, some negative issues and social problems, like alcoholism, deterioration of local tradition or teen prostitution, triggered by uncontrolled development of tourism industry are often silenced. The real nature of the relationship between tourism and regional socio-economic growth is of particular importance to local authorities and policy makers. Nowadays, about 80% of local authorities in Poland perceive tourism as a basic or complementary direction of socio-economic development, as researched by A. Pawlikowska-Piechotka (2013). Therefore, the main aim of this study was to answer the question how tourism is perceived by local authorities of rural communes in the Pomorskie Voivodeship and to what extend its development is deliberately planned in their strategic documents. In order to achieve such an objective, the author analysed current strategic documents issued by 74 rural communes using computer and context analysis methods. The author analysed more than 5860 pages in total. Special attention was paid to two selected sections of the documents: strategic and operational objectives as well as the SWOT analysis. These were analysed in the context of tourism development. The research has revealed that examined documents are not an effective and sufficient tool for tourism development as they are too general and lacking realistic goals to be evaluated in the future.

The research encompassed star-ranked hotels. The objective was achieved by means of analysis concerning temporal and spatial changes in the number and structure of rural hotel facilities. Research involved cartographic analysis of a synthetic indicator based upon a modified Baretje-Defert tourist function index and hotel density indicator. During the period being examined development of rural hotel infrastructure was of a greater intensity comparing to urban areas. This rapid development was related to upscale hotels mainly. Spatial concentration of rural hotel facilities occurred in the outskirts of major agglomerations as well as traditional rural areas in the regions of Wielkopolska, Warmia, Kashubia, Carpathian Foothills, and Pilica river valley. During the investigated period rural hotel infrastructure developed mainly in the southern and eastern parts of Poland.

Local resources represent unique – and socially and economically utilizable – features, factors and phenomena in a given area capable of forming its internal development potential. Among these one may differentiate material and non-material resources, with a further divide into groups and types. The overriding research objective was to identify the structure of local resources in three regions of eastern Poland, and to assess their development potential. For this purpose, research procedure assumed evaluating local assets referring to their utility and uniqueness, by the means of constructed indicators. The study showed that majority of resources were of average utilitarian and uniqueness value, often characterized by considerable spatial differentiation. Several types of prevailing resources were identified including architectural forms and buildings, as well as those related to tourism attractiveness. Resources with the greatest impact on enhancing local development tend to be of considerable uniqueness. On the other hand, there is a group of highly-unique resources characterized by confined utility regarding the practical point of view. This may attest to the still-untapped potential of local resources in researched regions.

The EU membership has given significant impetus to the transformation of agriculture mainly in the industrial (farming) aspect due to implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). This has led to deepening the process of deagrarianization of rural areas. With regard to the economic sphere, the author considered workplaces and sources of livelihood (income), while analyzing the ecological space, some indicators of environmental sustainability of agricultural holdings were employed. The Central Statistical Office data of Farms’ Structure Survey of 2005 and 2016 in a cross-section types of commune (rural, urban-rural, urban) comprised the factual material used. Agriculture loses in importance in the economic sphere, especially in urbanized communes. This has been indicated by a downward trend in the number of farms, especially those providing major agricultural income for the maintenance of the farmer’s family, as well as engaging decreasing labor resources in agricultural activity. In respect of the ecological sphere, changes are heterogeneous. On the one hand, the progressive farmerization of agriculture intensifies the adverse nature of concentration and specialization in production. On the other hand, agricultural production based on scarce minerals helps to improve economic sustainability. There is an increase in environmental-friendly agricultural practices in connection with the ecosystem functions. Currently, apart from factors that contribute to the process of deagrarianization, there are also certain aspects, which delayed the process. These include, in particular, questioning the effects of globalization in relation to food system, orientation on sustainable development to highlight the bioeconomy and agri-ecological intensification, ethnoconsumerism as well as interest in folk culture and regional identity.

Implementation of this paradigm for over 30 years (until the end of the 1980s) in numerous geographical research centers has consolidated a model primarily based on statistical sources and their development employing quantitative methods. At present, scientists face challenges concerning a holistic view on the cultural change taking place in Poland’s rural areas and its geographical description involving qualitative research methods. The aim of this paper is to indicate the origin of approaches addressing the issue of rural areas’ functions, their evolution and gradual replacement or supplementation with new trends, interpretation of which requires employing experience gained by social sciences. The final part of the paper includes a proposal of redirecting research towards a new look at changes occurring in Poland’s rural areas. Contemporary processes of social diversification could find a perfect interpretation of the rural environment in the cultural concept. Some key research tasks included in the solution to this problem are: • defining the functions of settlement units within area’s structure and changes in cultural landscape, along with identification of their natural and socio-economic conditions; • determining the social structure and its transformation trends in rural settlements; • linking physiognomic features of development and utilization of settlement plots and social characteristics of their inhabitants; • determining the spatial and temporal activity of rural population; • determining the existing social relations between village’s inhabitants (forms of cooperation and possible conflicts); • identifying rationale behind social behavior, including inhabitants’ participation in the formation and functioning of local government.

Certain European countries developed these railways in 1980-90s, and some other Asian states also joined this club. China commenced with the construction of its high-speed railways in the 2000s, transforming itself into the world’s new leader in the field. This article is dedicated to a geographical analysis of the network development of high-speed railways in the years 1964-2017. Graph theory methods (network analysis) are applied to compare processes of development.

The literature emphasises that, as rail transport develops, supply becomes comparable along many routes, leaving external factors to be regarded as increasingly important. In contrast, the authors of this article consider that deregulation and transformation of the rail transport system in Poland have ensured that internal factors continue to exert the primary influence on passenger behaviour in this country. The work detailed in this article has thus sought to demonstrate the impact of transport supply on passenger volume at individual stations in those towns and cities of the region of Lower Silesia that have access to rail passenger transport throughout the year.

Different types of migration flows (resettlements, commuting, educational migration, etc.) within municipalities and through their borders, as well as between Bavaria and other parts of the country are analyzed. Spacetime features of population mobility are revealed. Main methods of analysis include delimitation of migration systems and calculation of human activity density. The study found that scale of population mobility within Bavaria is larger than migratory exchange with other parts of Germany. Commuting and other types of return population mobility take more important positions in the regional migration process.

The paper offers a reflection about the developments at the top of geographic and social scientific research as well as a reference to the agenda of spatial planning and politics. Therefore this article focuses on theoretical aspects of the “fluid society” but emphasizes also the need to learn from empirical insights and practical issues in the context of Polish-Swiss cooperation projects. It concludes however, that regional spaces under the auspices of modern flows are not unicoloured. That wants to say: they are not passive entities of modernisation, but keep their manifold, multicoloured characteristics – and these characteristics interact in the form of identities, cohesion and the natural backdrop with significant effects on those flows, enabling and steering modernisation strategies, and deciding about successes or failures of investments into traffic, tourism and economies. By that they shape the flows from and into peripheral regions.
