Assessing socioeconomic impacts of the Dukovany nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic: Local perceptions and statistical evidence Bohumil FRANTÁL a *, Jiří MALÝ a, Martin OUŘEDNÍČEK b, Jiří NEMEŠKAL b Abstract The effect of geographical distance on the extent of socioeconomic impacts of the Dukovany nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic is assessed by combining two different research approaches. First, we survey how people living in municipalities in the vicinity of the power plant perceive impacts on their personal quality of life. Second, we explore the effects of the power plant on regional development by analysing long-term statistical data about the unemployment rate, the share of workers in the energy sector and overall job opportunities in the respective municipalities. The results indicate that the power plant has had significant positive impacts on surrounding communities both as perceived by residents and as evidenced by the statistical data. The level of impacts is, however, significantly influenced by the spatial and social distances of communities and individuals from the power plant. The perception of positive impacts correlates with geographical proximity to the power plant, while the hypothetical distance where positive effects on the quality of life are no longer perceived was estimated at about 15 km. Positive effects are also more likely to be reported by highly educated, young and middle-aged and economically active persons, whose work is connected to the power plant.

    Online Journal of Applied Knowledge Management A Publication of the International Institute for Applied Knowledge Management Volume 1, Issue 2, 2013 A practical perspective on the developing information society – case studies Ewa Ziemba, University of Economics in Katowice, [email protected] Rafał Żelazny, University of Economics in Katowice, [email protected] Abstract The aim of this paper is to identify the projects implemented in Poland, which exemplify the “best practices” for the information society development in other regions and countries. Firstly, a definition of the information society is proposed, the key links and strategic objectives are identified. Secondly, the information society projects implemented in Silesia, Poland are presented. The first project concerns information and communication technologies’ infrastructure, the second one – digital content and services. This paper concludes with some discussion concerning the projects for the information society development. Keywords: Information society; ICT infrastructure; Digital services; E-services; Digital content; Silesian Regional Backbone Network; Silesian Public Services Card Introduction Information as well as information and communication technologies (ICT) are the determinants of permanently ongoing social and economic changes. Information has become a resource needed for the functioning of societies and on a par with other resources (material, financial ones) which development it codetermines (Cheng, 2011; Hesse, Muller, & Ruß 2008; Nolin, 2010; Robertson, 1990; Rowley, & Gibbs, 2008). Whereas ICTs support exploration and exploitation of information, thus they enhance its acquisition, collection, transformation, availability and use (Adler et al., 2009; Avgerou, 2010; Hanna, 2010a; Kassicieh, 2010; Lavie, Stettner, & Tushman, 2010; Lavie & Rosenkopf, 2006; Żelazny, 2009; Ziemba & Olszak, 2011; Ziemba, 2013b).

On the railway network in Silesia there is mixed traffic, ie. Commodity-passenger. Often freight traffic has priority over passenger traffic and a number of railway lines is greater % of occupancy. The article presents the historical regional railway, which was to be dedicated to only passenger traffics, as a movement dedicated on Silesia for such carriage. Unfortunately, for economic reasons and it seems that the political, this project has not been implemented, even though part of the design was made at 100% and part of the infrastructure at 30%. Keywords: railway; construction; efficiency; conurbation Introduction The Silesian Voivodeship is the most important industrial region, located in the southern part of Poland. It is very well connected to the pan-european transport network. In his area intersect the main trans-european routes (corridor III: Berlin-Wroclaw-Katowice- Krakow-Lviv and corridor VI: Gdansk-Katowice-Zylina). The area of Voivodeship is inhabited by over more than 4.6 million inhabitants, which represents 12.14% of the Polish population The Silesian Voivodeship is the most urbanized area in the country. In 2012 Urbanization rate was 77.6%, compared to the country average 60.6% The region also has the highest concentration of the population in Poland and one of the largest in Europe.

The aim of this article is to present the suburbanisation process in the Katowice conurbation based on demographic changes and an analysis of migration flow. This process has been taking place in the area since the 2000s and takes on the shape of a multi-centre development of newly created individual and developed housing zones (both in the core and in the suburban area of the conurbation). Since 1990, the cities of the Katowice conurbation have been undergoing a process of shrinking. This process is manifested in the decline in number of urban residents in the years 1991–2016, amounting to 366 thousand people. Moreover, the cities face numerous social, economic and spatial problems. Since 1995, simultaneous with the shrinking of the cities of the Katowice conurbation, there has been an increase in the number of inhabitants in its suburban areas (since 2004, the trend has continued to be positive). Population increases have also been recorded in some inner-city zones of the conurbation.

  • Did Silesia Constitute an Economic Region Between the 13Th and the 15Th Centuries? a Survey of Region-Integrating and Region-Disintegrating Economic Factors
    Grzegorz Myśliwski University of Warsaw Did Silesia constitute an economic region between the 13th and the 15th centuries? A survey of region-integrating and region-disintegrating economic factors Abstract: This article constitutes an attempt at answering the question of whether Silesia, aside from being a distinct historical region, was also a distinct economic region. The author starts with Robert E. Dickinson’s theory of economic regions, the basic assumptions of which are shared by contempo- rary researchers of regional economies. Economic resources, the similar economic policies of Silesian rulers in the 13th and 14th centuries, high levels of urbanization in comparison to neighbouring regions and the centralizing capacity of Wrocław are considered to be the forces which bound together Silesian as an economic region. Factors retard- ing the economic cohesion of Silesia were analyzed as well. Those included natural disasters, inva- sions, internal strife, criminal activity along trade routes and a crisis in the mining industry beginning in the middle of the 14th century. Beginning with the final years of the 13th century, Silesia stabilized as an economic region containing Upper Silesia, Lower Silesia and Opava. This was not, however, a perfect cohesion, as Lower Silesia was economically superior to the other regions, which themselves had strong ties to Lesser Poland. Despite that, the crisis that took place from about 1350 until 1450 did not break the economic bonds between these three constituent elements of Silesia. In comparison to every historical and economic region on its borders, Silesia was distinguished by its advanced gold mining industry, the export of a red dyeing agent (marzanna) as well as the highest number of cities with a populations of between 3,000 and 14,000.

  • Spatial Restructuring of the Katowice Conurbation
    Declining Cities͞Developing Cities: Polish and German Perspectives Marek Nowak and Michał Nowosielski (Eds.) Instytut Zachodni, Poznan´ 2008 © 2008 the authors and Instytut Zachodni Spatial Restructuring of the Katowice Conurbation Jarosław MIKOŁAJEC Abstract. The Katowice conurbation is a classic mining conurbation, like many others which emerged in Europe at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its restructuring and revitalization process in large mea- sure involves changes in its spatial order. Since a conurbation is not a single city, but rather a complex of cities, changes of the spatial order comprise changes of relations between its components – namely cities and industrial estates. In terms of restructuring, the Katowice conurbation is backward compared to analogous industrial areas in western Europe, and for this reason it can take advantage of their experience. 102 Jarosław MIKOŁAJEC At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the most important factor determining urbanization was industrialization. So close a correlation between urbanization and industrialization has never occurred before or since. Never had so many new cities and city complexes of purely industrial origin emerged, and the growth of old cities had never before been so dependent on industrial development. Those new forms of spatial order which are characteristic of the capitalistic economy of the century, namely the coal conurbations, were developed at that time. In modern times, mining has been one of the most important reasons for urbanization. In the case of coal conurbations, the mining industry was the direct reason for the urbanization process. When mining was not the direct reason for the urbanization, it sometimes – in an indirect way – contributed to the development of cities.

  • Modernisation of Historic Housing Complexes in Pyskowice
    CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING REPORTS No. 9 201 2 MODERNISATION OF HISTORIC HOUSING COMPLEXES IN PYSKOWICE Michał TOMANEK ∗ The Department of Architecture, Silesian Technical University in Gliwice in cooperation with Janusz D ĘBOWSKI In an Upper Silesian town Pyskowice, there are three urban complexes: a historic centre with traditionally arranged medieval buildings, a housing complex built before World War II for the needs of railway workers and a housing estate built in connection with a planned vast industrial investment for its workers in the socialist realism times. The first complex was subject to the slow transformations related to the cultural changes characteristic for the European culture. Despite the dramatic misfortunes, its 13th-century origins preserved. The two remaining complexes were built as houses for new economic investments. At present, the communities of the estates face the problem of how to further develop the ideological remnants of the estates on their own. A problem of functional integration of the housing complexes, designed as separate ones, occurred. The modernisation works, related to the town development, refer to the fields of town planning and architecture. They also make it possible to observe the technical and technological advancements of the times they were erected. The presented examples of the modernisation works throw light on the cultural awareness of the designers and investors of the times and their understanding of the importance of the notion of surrounding. The newly arising architectural forms demonstrate an interesting reference to the local tradition and the existing forms. Keywords: urban complexes 1.
