It does not focus narrowly on high-technology industries or on information and communications technologies, but rather presents a frame- work for analyzing a range of policy options in education, information infrastructure and innovation systems that can help usher in the knowledge economy. It also makes the case for better co-ordination among the government, the private sector and civil society to enhance competitiveness and advance economic and social development." There are many visions of Europe of the 21st century (Bertrand 1999). The KBE is an important element of these visions (Kukliński 2000). Within this framework a very bold statement was formulated (Blair... 2000): "We are committed to help Europe become the most dynamic knowledge-based eco- nomy in the world by 2010 through reforms in capital, product and labour markets." This prospective political judgement and obligation was formulated by the Prime Ministers of Great Britain, The Netherlands and Sweden and by the German Chancellor. This is a very optimistic interpretation of the power of Europe in the strategic global triangle of the 21st century - Europe-America- -Asia. Even if we accept a less-optimistic interpretation, that Europe will not be the most dynamic - but only a very dynamic - Knowledge-Based Economy in the world by 2010 - the challenge for our continent is still immense. At the present http://rcin.org.pl 4 Antoni Kukliński moment there are only five or six countries in Europe (OECD 1999), where tne KBE is already a prevailing phenomenon. We can anticipate that, by 2010, this set of countries will have grown to number 15 or 20. The development of the KBE in Europe is a dramatic and multidimensional challenge. In this paper we will concentrate our attention on the regional trajec- tory, which to our mind is one of the leading trajectories in the development of the KBE. In this context I have chosen the following thematic construction of this paper: • Why a regional trajectory? • The dilemma of spontaneous versus guided development. • The six dimensions of the regional trajectory: the KBE enterprise, the capital market, the labour market, the system of education, the R&D system, the re- gional governance system. • A European Research Programme. • The four inspirations of the Programme. • Towards a new vision of a KBE in Europe. • Towards a new vision of regional policy in Europe. • The role of the Regional Studies Association. WHY A REGIONAL TRAJECTORY? In the ground-breaking paper of G. Eliasson (Eliasson 2001), we find the following intriguing generalization: "Economic growth can be described at the macro level, but it can never be explained at that level To understand economic growth, and to design policy we have to take the analysis down to the micro market level where individuals live and firms behave and new innovative technologies are created. " I think that the macro-versus micro-level dilemma reflects a failure to grasp the complicated nature of the real world. We need to see a third level - the me- so-level - i.e. the regional level. This level is creating a powerful framework for the development and promotion of the KBE. Within this framework the most important item is the strategic triangle - the KBE enterprise - the R & D institu- tions - and Regional Governance. In the conditions of the 21st century, the competitive and innovative region is a direct actor on the global scene (Kukliński 1999). This region can have the capacity and will to develop a strong regional KBE. It is worthwhile analyzing from this point of view the list of 46 regions and cities presented as global hubs of technological innovation (UNDP 2001). Naturally - the concept of the global hub of technological innovation is a much more restrictive concept than the concept of a European KBE region which will emerge in the course of the empirical studies proposed in this paper. http://rcin.org.pl The development of the Knowledge-Based Economy in Europe: The regional trajectory 5 THE DILEMMA OF SPONTANEOUS VERSUS GUIDED DEVELOPMENT The term "regional trajectory" implies the integration of software and hardware approaches and the integration of guided and spontaneous change. We accept the following definition (Freeman 1992): "Trajectories are self-fulfilling prophesies based on the 'actors'\ decisions and expec- tations of the future. Like any institutions, they are sustained, not by 'naturalness but by the interest that develops in their continuance and the belief that they will continue". In the global perspective we see two types of emerging regional KBEs. There is a laissez-faire type - accepting the mechanisms of spontaneous change as the most important driving force behind development with California being presen- ted as the most illustrious example (Scott 1998). We have to remember, however, that the case of California was created

    Cold-Climate Landform Patterns in the Sudetes. Effects of Lithology, Relief and Glacial History

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE 2000 GEOGRAPHICA, XXXV, SUPPLEMENTUM, PAG. 185–210 Cold-climate landform patterns in the Sudetes. Effects of lithology, relief and glacial history ANDRZEJ TRACZYK, PIOTR MIGOŃ University of Wrocław, Department of Geography, Wrocław, Poland ABSTRACT The Sudetes have the whole range of landforms and deposits, traditionally described as periglacial. These include blockfields and blockslopes, frost-riven cliffs, tors and cryoplanation terraces, solifluction mantles, rock glaciers, talus slopes and patterned ground and loess covers. This paper examines the influence, which lithology and structure, inherited relief and time may have had on their development. It appears that different rock types support different associations of cold climate landforms. Rock glaciers, blockfields and blockstreams develop on massive, well-jointed rocks. Cryogenic terraces, rock steps, patterned ground and heterogenic solifluction mantles are typical for most metamorphic rocks. No distinctive landforms occur on rocks breaking down through microgelivation. The variety of slope form is largely inherited from pre- Pleistocene times and includes convex-concave, stepped, pediment-like, gravitational rectilinear and concave free face-talus slopes. In spite of ubiquitous solifluction and permafrost creep no uniform characteristic ‘periglacial’ slope profile has been created. Mid-Pleistocene trimline has been identified on nunataks in the formerly glaciated part of the Sudetes and in their foreland. Hence it is proposed that rock-cut periglacial relief of the Sudetes is the cumulative effect of many successive cold periods during the Pleistocene and the last glacial period alone was of relatively minor importance. By contrast, slope cover deposits are usually of the Last Glacial age. Key words: cold-climate landforms, the Sudetes 1.

For this purpose, the results of the measurements of special systems (ceilometers) that monitor the atmospheric boundary layer were used in the analysis. Meteorological conditions, including the mixing layer height (MLH), undoubtedly influence the air pollution level. Combinations of meteorological conditions and their influence on PM10 concentrations also vary, depending on the pollution sources of a certain area and the geographical conditions of the monitoring site. Gen1erally, the worst dispersion conditions for the PM10 air pollution level occur at low air temperatures, low wind speed, and low height of the mixing layer along with a wind direction from areas with a higher accumulation of pollution sources. The average PM10 concentrations at temperatures below 1 ◦C reach the highest values on the occurrence of a mixing layer height of up to 400 m at both sites. The influence of a rising height of the mixing layer at temperatures below 1 ◦C on the average PM10 concentrations at Tˇrinec-Kosmos site is not as significant as in the case of Vˇeˇrˇnovice,where a difference of several tens of µg m 3 in the average PM · − 10 concentrations was observed between levels of up to 200 m and levels of 200–300 m.

Those abandoned oil and gas wells (AOGWs) are often located in areas with a prospective geothermal potential and might be retrofitted to a geothermal system without high-cost drilling. In Poland, there are thousands of wells, either operating, abandoned or negative, that might be used for different geothermal applications. Thus, the aim of this paper is not only to review geothermal and petroleum facts about the Eastern Carpathian Foredeep, but also to find out the areas, geological structures or just AOGWs, which are the most prospective in case of geothermal utilization. Due to the inseparability of geological settings with both oil and gas, as well as geothermal conditionings, firstly, the geological background of the analyzed region was performed, considering mainly the autochthonous Miocene formation. Then, Citation: Chmielowska, A.; geothermal and petroleum detailed characteristics were made. In the case of geothermal parameters, Sowizd˙ zał,˙ A.; Tomaszewska, B. such as formation’s thickness, temperatures, water-bearing horizons, wells’ capacities, mineralization Prospects of Using Hydrocarbon and others were extensively examined.

These censuses indicate a changing hierarchy of places that is typical of a settler society and of its representations of space and society. Over one century, the official census places and the pattern of population distribution have shifted from a selective colonial view of human settlements to an inclusive postcolonial society view closer to the distribution of the whole population.

    GEOGRAFIE - SBORNIK CESKE GEOGRAFICKE SPOLECNOSTI ROK 2002 • CISLO 2 • ROCNIK 107 ANTONIN VAISHAR DEVELOPMENT OF THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM IN THE OSTRAVA AGGLOMERATION AND POSSIBILITIES OF ITS RESTRUCTURING A. V a ish a r: Development of the settlement system jn the Ostrava agglomeration and possibilities of its restructuring - Geografie - Sbornik CGS, 107, 2, pp. 171 - 188 (2002). Large-scale coal-mining. regions were showing specific settlement from the 19th century. The original typical system with towns as centres and their hinterlands was remodelled to a mosaic of coal pits, miner colonies (later housing quarters) and industrial factories interwoven with a dense web of infrastructure. The region of Ostrava is one of examples; here the mining of black coal linked up with the metallurgy of iron, heavy engineering and chemical industry. The region's economic base has experienced a restructuring in connexion with social changes after the year 1989 with individual towns seeking new functions and place in the system of settlement. KEY WORDS: settlement system - Ostrava agglomeration (Czechia) - coal mining and metallurgy restructuring. The work is a partial output of research implemented within a grant project No. S-3086005 funded by the Grant Agency of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic with the name "Effect of suppressed deep coal-mining on phenomena in lithosphere and environment", which at the same time links up with the key project of scholarly research No. K-3046108 solved in the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic with the name "Impact of climatic and anthropogenic factors on live and lifeless environments". 1. Specific features of settlement in mining regions A stranger driving through the coal-mining region would easily lose his sense of direction being accustomed to the typical signs of drawing nearer to a town centre or leaving it behind.
