Agrarian-economic structure of agricultural holdings in Poland and East Germany: Selected elements of comparative analysis. Quaestiones Geographicae 33(2), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Nau- kowe, Poznań, pp. 87–101, 4 tables, 8 figs. DOI 10.2478/quageo-2014-0018, ISSN 0137-477X. ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to determine differences in the development of farms in Poland against the agri- culture of East Germany, and to show areas with similar conditions for development. The time range of the research covered the years 2002–2010, i.e. the stage of preparation of Polish agriculture for accession to the European Union, the implementation of pre-accession aid programmes, and the establishment and implementation of the tools of the Com- mon Agricultural Policy. To assess the level of agricultural development, natural, productive and social characteristics were adopted. Spatial variations in the analysed features were based on the variation coefficient (Vz), and the level of agricultural development, on Perkal’s index (Wi). In the analysed period the range of variation and the degree of the spatial dispersion of sub-indices changed, indicating a deepening of the polarisation processes in agriculture. The im- plementation of CAP intensified the process of specialisation and modernisation in agriculture, an example of which is the increase in the average farm size and in agricultural productivity. On the other hand, agricultural production intensified, as exemplified by a decrease in the minimum value in six of the analysed characteristics, which indicates growing disparities.

However, social capital is a complex phenomenon that is analyzed in different contexts and cannot be investigated with the use of a single variable. Social capital is difficult to define, which is why the selection of variables for measuring social capital can be problematic. The aim of this study was to analyze variations in social capital at the regional level. The study was conducted in Poland, and it covered all 16 Polish voivodeships (regions) where social capital was evaluated based on five measures: civic engagement in political and social life, degree of selfless behavior, sense of security and social confidence, formation of social structures, and the observance of social norms (external factors), and attitudes (internal factors) that foster desirable social interactions. The correlations between the above measures were also determined. Composite indicators of the analyzed measures were developed with the use of the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The results were used to rank Polish voivodeships and group them into three classes based on the corresponding values of the adopted measures.

  • Post-Unification Dissatisfaction
    Post-Unification Dissatisfaction Or: Why Are So Many East Germans Unhappy with the New Political System? revised version, April 1998 by Helmut Wiesenthal I Introduction Among the people of former communist countries, the East Germans appear extremely privileged. Through its unification with the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) the implementation of a pluralist democratic system and the market economy was smooth and safeguarded in many ways. First, East Germany benefits from the FRG‟s well-proven institutional system that immediately took effect during the second half of 1990. The citizens of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) did not have to create a complete system of legal institutions, administrative agencies and representational bodies of their own. The framework of market economy, the organisations of territorial administration and local self-government, civil and commercial law, penal and public law, the social security system, antitrust and collective bargaining law, as well as the instruments of labor administration and industrial policy--none of these had to be invented in East Germany. Second, one need only recall the extraordinary advantage of large financial transfers without any obligation of repayment. Annual net transfers in the order of 160 billion marks have effected a rapid improvement of the public infrastructure, as do they back up the social insurance system. Thanks to massive financial aid, the impact of the transition crisis that burdens peoples of all other post-socialist countries is significantly reduced in East Germany. Third, being subjected to the political system--and the political elite--of West Germany, East Germany‟s process of transition is obviously the least likely to be endangered by the uncertainties and exigencies of a premature party and governance system, inconsistent concepts of reform, the bundle of socialist legacies of values and habits, or insufficient financial resources.

How did East German firms respond to the free market after being thrust into it in 1990? We use a formal learning model and German business survey data to analyze the lasting impact of this far-reaching treatment on the way firms in former East Germany predicted their own productivity relative to firms in former West Germany during the two decades since Reunification.

Also habitat condition changes (eutrophication, pollution etc.) and biodiversity loss (at a regional, national and even continental scale) should be mentioned. Numerous papers with rare plant species localities and endangered habitats have been published but the extinction processes and scale of this phenomenon in urban areas where environmental conservation is crucial, are not often analysed. The aim of the present study is to estimate species loss in the vascular plant flora of the town Strzelce Opolskie (Chełm, Silesian Upland) on the basis of the floristic literature and botanical surveys carried out from 2011 to 2013. A comparison has been made between the list of species reported up to 1945 and those species currently occurring in the study area. As a result, a list of 99 species included in the red list of plants of Opole and Silesian voivodeships is presented. Among this group, 45 species are not confirmed after 1945. Numerous extinct and endangered species are from families: Orchidaceae (8 species), Cyperaceae (7 species), Ranunculaceae (7 species) and Lamiaceae (6 species).
