TY - GEN N1 - 24 cm N2 - The process of residential suburbanisation may cause changes in the age structure of the population as the age composition of in-migrants is younger than long-term residents. However, the demographic change associated with the second demographic transition as well as the co-existence of suburbanisation and reurbanisation of inner city areas may have ambiguous impacts on the age composition. The aim of this paper is to show changes in the age structure of the population in a post-socialist city in the light of suburbanisation using the example of the Kraków Metropolitan Area. In particular, we sought to show whether the intensive development of this process results in the inhibition of population ageing due to the influx of people in suburban areas along with the outward diffusion of the behaviours associated with the second demographic transition.

An evidence of that is the still underdeveloped lodging base existing in region. One of the root causes of this situation is the low attractiveness of the landscape of the basin. The potential for activation of the tourism industry in the region lies therefore in exploiting the local cultural resources, which – according to research – are significant in the area concerned. Additionally, Koło Basin does not provide conditions suitable for large-area or factory farming, and therefore the region has maintained the landscape defined by smallholding farms attractive to tourists searching for genuine atmosphere of the traditional Polish countryside. One of the cultural assets of the region worth mentioning is the well-preserved traditional rural architecture, erected using the local deposits of limestone - a unique appearance of that kind of structures on the Polish lowlands. However, the tourism operators in the region rarely refer in their offers to its cultural specificity, emphasizing the common attractions, which tend to be presented in an inflated manner, beyond their actual standard.

Initiation of rural development programmes successfully activates processes of modernisation in many fields of social and economic life, including the material base (infrastructure), which is an essential element in the functioning of settlement systems. The aim of this study is to present selected results of the expert analysis of 50 Polish villages, which are characterised by a high concentration of cultural values – material, institutional and spiritual. The assessment of a group of rural settlements was meant to determine the potential for creating the Network of the Most Interesting Villages. The article presents the factual basis for such evaluation, the differentiation in groups of villages according to selected traits, especially those describing the infrastructural plane for developing the tourism and recreational functions. The recipe for success includes many elements. The most important ones include attractive spatial configuration in which there is no shortage of central locations that are the focus of educational and recreational functions, the social awareness of the value of one’s own heritage and the ability to describe it (the purpose of stay), the existence of long-lasting institutions referring to the historical memory and communal activities, the ability to create the media for narration placed in the internal environment, somewhat-formed path of its own development based on own resources (developed tourism functions), as well as participation in local and regional network of town with varying functions, and natural and anthropogenic environmental values (tourist regions).

Among the outcomes of this process, one can list e.g. social integration, support for local initiatives, socio-economic revival or decreased disproportion in spatial development. These changes are encapsulated in the processes of rural revitalization and renewal, which are most expedient in areas suffering from social, economic and spatial degradation. The study aims to determine the role of embeddedness of an enterprise in the local environment in the processes of rural revitalization and renewal (a case study of Działyń in Kłecko commune, Wielkopolskie Voivodeship). Działyń is a former state agricultural farm with a historic site comprising local cultural heritage. It houses Działpol, an agricultural company established as an outcome of transforming a prior state agricultural farm, now a modern biogas plant. The analysis has shown that initiatives undertaken and supported by companies demonstrating their incorporation with the local environment and practices, including participation enhancing local resources and infrastructure, as well as undertakings integrating local community, or provision of other local services prove that embeddedness of enterprises in the local environment is pivotal when implementing the processes of rural revitalization and renewal.

This article uses the concept of place as a contrasting interpretation to space, referring to place-making as a metaphor for the various ways in which meaning is created in the sea. As expressions of an intimate connection between experienced materiality and symbolism, places (unlike space) are never abstract, but always carry emotional dimensions. Place attachment can be the result of everyday profe ssional links, recreational activities, or living by the sea, and arises despite the greater intangibility of locations in the sea. As a result of their greater physical intangibility, places in the sea may require more frequent (re-)making than places on land, pointing to the inherent importance (and value in their own right) of the associated (socio-cultural) processes of place-making. The ability to engage in place-making is thus an important avenue for expressing place-based values, an understanding which could be used to enrich marine spatial planning processes. Focusing more on the intimate connections people have with places in the sea and how quality of place matters to them could turn MSP into an enabler of place-making, becoming more of a rich and continuous dialogue around the multiple ways in which people interact with and value the sea.

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 analysis covered the years 2004-2013 and embraced 18 cities functioning as regional capitals and 16 voivodeships. The research proceeded in three stages. In the first one, the position of the regional capitals was determined against the level of socio-economic development of the country’s poviats. Stage two was devoted to the magnitude and absorption structure of European means in the regional centres. The third part of the procedure covered identification of the place of the regional centres in the process of absorption of EU funds in voivodeships.

However, especially since the World War II a sinking importance of agriculture for the economy, employment and even identity building could be observed. This has occurred both in developed capitalist and post-socialist countries. The purpose of this article is to discuss the character of present rural economies of developed countries (and especially Visegrad countries) with a particular attention to other than acricultural and tourism economic industries. Key factors influencing the growth of jobs in non-farming and tourism sectors are analysed and on this basis the conditions for entrepreneurship in rural areas in the era of the knowledge economy are re-evaluated.

A majority of jobs in agriculture are still performed outdoors, under various weather conditions. Several meteorological situations can lead to severe disturbances in the organism of agricultural workers, with high temperature, intensive insolation and elevated air humidity proving especially dangerous, as such weather conditions can lead to overheating and dehydration of the body. The work presented here compares biothermal conditions in Poland and Bulgaria from the point of view of occupational health. To this end, use was made of several indices assessing heat stress in human beings, namely: Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), HUMIDEX, Water Loss (SW), Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) and Physiological Subjective Temperature (PST). When account was taken of the occurrence of heat extremes as defined by these indices, it proved possible to distinguish categories of health risk regarded as small, increased or great. Comparison of the two agricultural regions reveals significantly more severe heat stress in Bulgaria than in Poland, in terms of both the frequency of heat-stress episodes and the number of hours (daily and monthly) associated with heat stress. This ensures that dangerous conditions for agriculture workers are primarily present in Bulgaria, rather than in Poland.
