This has led to the emergence of new economic prospects for functioning of the European Union, which significantly differs, both in spatial as well as functional terms, from the situation existing before 2004. With reference to the issues mentioned above, the 13th volume of Europe XXI focuses primarily on the research results concerning the spatial-economic relations and processes occurring within the EU member states after the EU enlargement, as well as attempting to prognosticate the consequences of these processes for the future of the EU. The vol- ume features 15 papers, which are divided into two parts according to their contents. The first part includes eight papers, whose central thread is reference to spatial di- mension of the expanded the EU, as seen from economic viewpoints. This thematic unit highlights, among others, issues pertaining to the regional disparities and competitiveness in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as determining regions with particular needs for policy intervention after the EU enlargement. The subsequent papers bring up the ques- tions related to spatial problems. The authors analyzed , among others, spatial impacts of the Trans-European Networks for the new the EU, spatial processes at macro, meso and micro level during the EU enlargement, as well as spatial aspects of logistic revolution in Central and Eastern Europe. Also, they drew attention to the process of internationaliza- tion of economy as a factor of transformation of Central and Eastern Europe. Apart from that they explained why metropolitan economic strategy is the key to generating sustain- able prosperity and quality of life for the world, as well as referring to the problems affect- ing the cities in Central and Eastern Europe in the aftermath of post-socialist transition and pointing to some conceptual considerations about future challenges. The papers included into the second part of the current volume are concerned with, broadly understood, transborder co-operation perceived as an element of regional devel- opment. In their papers, the authors discuss the concrete examples of various forms of close collaboration between member states of the EU in the selected geographical areas. Among them can be mentioned presentation of the development in rural microregions on the Czech-Polish state border and possibilities of the environmental co-operation in the http://rcin.org.pl 6 Marek Degórski order regions of Hungary after the EU-accession. There is also extremely interesting look at the newly created transborder structure as part of the expanded EU, which is presented in the description of Austrian-Slovakian-Hungarian tri-border region. The author of this paper underlines that emergence of a new transborder unit provides good opportunities for spatial and socio-economic development. According to another author, the similar chances for development exist within Vienna-Bratislava area where can be observed new economic trends after accession of Slovakia to the EU. Similarly, the development of transborder areas creates the need for co-operation not only at the governmental level but also at the local self-government one. This issue was highlighted in the paper 'International activity of the local self-government'. The author emphasized that one of the characteristic phenomena of the recent decades has been the increase in the intensity, scope and numbers of participants in international relations. EU funds are also used by international non-governmental organizations supporting foreign contacts of self-governments. Also, the benefits of transborder co-operation viewed by the prism of the urban de- velopment are highlighted in the paper 'Cross-border co-operations as a new tool for urban development in border regions'. The author drew attention to the fact that cross- border co-operation became a popular field of action during the last years, in particular in preparation and after enlargement of the European Union. Pointing to Germany as an example, he indicated that there occurred significant growth in the number of cross- borders activities between cities and regions on Germany's borders towards to Czech Re- public and Poland. The subject inextricably linked with the transborder co-operation is the issue of eu- roregions. The issue of euroregions became very topical in Europe from the beginning of the 90s of the last century. In the paper 'Geography of the Polish-Czech borderland: the case study of Euroregion Beskydy', the author presents the objectives of the the Eu- roregion, its organizational structure and some financial subsidies for the projects related with it. Concluding, the author underlines the benefits , both formal and economic, due to functioning of that Euroregion. Along with the present publication having been given to you, let me leave you with an open question: Is a new relation in new Europe a necessity of its cognition? Those of you who have read the papers included into the present volume may try and answer this question. If the provided texts make it easy for you to form an opinion and view on the presented issues, this, undoubtedly, will be a great success of the authors who contributed to this publication. The present publication is a joint editorial venture between Academic Branch of Polish Geographical Society and Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization Polish Academy of Sciences.

Brno: Masarykova univerzita, Filozofická fakulta, Historický ústav, 2010. 54 s. Vedoucí diplomové práce doc. PhDr. Vladimír Goněc, CSc. Anotace Diplomová práce „Těšínsko v systému euroregionů“ pojednává o vzniku a funkčnosti institucí euroregionů na území historického Těšínska. Problematika regionů se v současnosti dostává na přední místa zájmu v Evropské unii. Euroregiony bývaly v minulosti popisovány příliš optimisticky a nekriticky, v zápalu jakési euforie, toho se tato práce snaží vyvarovat. Autor zkoumá nejprve genezi a vývoj instituce euroregionů v západní Evropě. Dále si všímá kulturně-historických předpokladů, majících vliv na vznik euroregionů na Těšínsku. Posléze popisuje dva vzniklé euroregiony na území Těšínska, srovnává je především z hledisek historických, kulturních, geografických a hospodářských. V závěrečné fázi se snaží nastínit nejmarkantnější problémy nově vznikajících euroregionálních struktur a jejich vzájemnou rivalitu.

  • 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.

The aim of this paper was to assess the Polish-Czech and Polish-Slovak border cooperation at the local level and to compare it to the Polish- German border. The studies were based on the analysis of the microprojects qualified for implementation under the Microprojects Fund within INTERREG IIIA programmes. Particular emphasis was put on the type characteristic of the projects and institutional structure of beneficiaries. Moreover, the relationships between analysed features were studied. The spatial distribution of projects was also examined. The role of Euroregions in the process of cross-border co-operation implementation was described. The analysis of the microprojects was carried out for the Poland’s southern border and the western one, as well as for particular Euroregions. Key Words: cross-border cooperation, border areas, Euroregions, microprojects, Interreg, peripheral areas, transborder relations Abstract: Artykuł podejmuje problematykę polskich regionów przygranicznych, które są postrzegane jako specyficzny typ obszarów peryferyjnych.

This has heavily affected the quality of life in border regions, which are often found to be at a disadvantage when compared to other regions in terms of employment, accessibility, social services and economic growth. Based upon developing threads in the literature concerning the untapped potential for development in border regions, we argue that the Mission-Oriented Approach (MOA) can fit well with the ambitious goal to revitalize those territories in the aftermath of the pandemic. Despite the surge of MOA in discourses on innovation policy, we seek to implement it in a regional development perspective, pursuing both economic and social policy objectives. The authors unravel the policy concept of MOA into three main aspects: (I) address a sound societal challenge; (II) Research & Development (R&D) regional agenda embedded in a cross-border regional development vision; (III) mobilizing multiple cross-sectorial projects. Through a desk study analysis, the authors draw insights from selected case studies where these aspects have been implemented to inspire policy intervention in the aftermath of COVID-19.

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.

  • Eastern Carpathian Foredeep, Poland) for Geothermal Purposes
    energies Review Prospects of Using Hydrocarbon Deposits from the Autochthonous Miocene Formation (Eastern Carpathian Foredeep, Poland) for Geothermal Purposes Anna Chmielowska * , Anna Sowizd˙ zał˙ and Barbara Tomaszewska Department of Fossil Fuels, Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, Mickiewicza 30 Avenue, 30-059 Kraków, Poland; [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (B.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: There are many oil and gas fields around the world where the vast number of wells have been abandoned or suspended, mainly due to the depletion of reserves. 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.
