  • Interregional Diversity of Social Capital in the Context of Sustainable Development—A Case Study of Polish Voivodeships
    sustainability Article Interregional Diversity of Social Capital in the Context of Sustainable Development—A Case Study of Polish Voivodeships Katarzyna Pawlewicz 1 and Adam Pawlewicz 2,* 1 Department of Socio-Economic Geography, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 10-720 Olsztyn, Poland; [email protected] 2 Department of Agrotechnology, Agricultural Production Management and Agribusiness, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 May 2020; Accepted: 8 July 2020; Published: 10 July 2020 Abstract: The relationship between social capital and sustainable development challenges is of special importance. 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.

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.

  • Difference Between Eastern and Western Polish Euroregions
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN POLISH EUROREGIONS Jan Wendt* After the year 1998 when the world order was broke down, the modern Europe came into a new qualitatively phase of the integration processes' development. The new challenges, new communications techniques, migration processes, ideas' diffusions create more and more links between countries and local societies. The progress of cultural and economical integration is creally going into globalisation and universalisation the model of life. However, the globalisation doesn't create any efficiently working mechanism of performing law and institution order because its subjects try to - for the sake of defending own businesses - unique the instituali- sation of the authority on the above country level (Malendowski W., Szczepaniak M., 2000). Therefore, only the increase of transborder co-operation can make the authority desistance the opposition which exists in this matter (Schulc E., 1996). The euroregional co-operation, which is developed very well in UE, can lessen the distance between countries which are in UE (Malendowski W., Ratajczak M., 1998) and countries which pretend to be in there and liquidate the feeling of being in the suburban of the Western Europe. The co-operation also gives possi- bilities of knowing the rules of multilateral co-operation and democratic procedures for the post communistic societies (Bernatowicz G.; 1994). So, the co-operation should be one of the priorities for the UE candidate countries. What is more, the European Commission and its different kinds of helping programmes like PHARE help the euroregions activities. It seems that Poland is a regional leader in creating new euroregions in Central Europe.

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).

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.
