Charakterystyczną cechą tych kredytów było to, że najczęściej były udzielane w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. W przywołanym okresie kredyty mieszka- niowe były najszybciej rosnącą pozycją w aktywach banków. Jedynie w okresie od grudnia 2002 roku do końca 2012 roku udział kredytów mieszkaniowych w aktywach banków wzrósł ponad pięć razy, a w należnościach od sektora niefinansowego zwiększył się czterokrotnie. W latach 2005-2010 kredyty mieszkaniowe zdominowały strukturę bilansu sektora bankowego. Znaczna zmiana kursów walutowych (m.in. CHF, EUR, USD i JPY) w odniesieniu do złotego (znaczne osłabienie PLN) wpłynęła bezpośrednio na wartość bieżącą kosztów obsługi zobowią- zania, jak też wycenę łącznego zobowiązania kredytu hipotecznego odnoszącego się do walut obcych – wartości kredytu i jego kosztów wyliczonych w PLN. Słowa kluczowe: koszty społeczne, kredyt hipoteczny, kredyt indeksowany, kredyt denomi- nowany, kredyt walutowy Abstract Social impact of the crisis of foreign currency-related mortgage loans Loans indexed and denominated in foreign currencies (related to foreign currencies) used to be granted in Poland to those not receiving income in a foreign currency, in the period from 2000 to 2013. A characteristic feature of these loans is that they were usually granted in the countries of Central Eastern Europe. In this period, loans were the fastest growing item in the banks' assets. In the period from December 2002 to the end of 2012, the share of housing loans in banks' assets increased more than fivefold, and fourfold in receivables from the non-financial sector. In 2005-2010, loans dominated the structure of the balance sheet of the banking sector. A significant change in foreign exchange rates (e.g. CHF, EUR, USD and JPY) in relation to the zloty (a significantly depreciated PLN) contributed directly to the current value of the costs of operating liabilities, as well as the valuation of total mortgage obligations related to foreign exchange, the value of credit and its costs calculated in PLN. Keywords: social costs, mortgage, indexed loan, denominated loan, foreign currency loan JEL CODE: D10, D12, D14, D90, D91, E20, E21 Introduction In the post-war years, until 1989, no housing stock was generated on a scale that would meet the growing social needs. This was caused by two things: deficit in the offer of flats for rent on one hand, and on the other hand the enormous pressure on property possession, which used to be largely limited, and often inaccessible, prior to the transformation. The above cir- cumstances justify a radical change in the attitude of banks and mortgage clients, manifested in a wide range of such loans (especially those denominated in foreign currencies). This al- lowed banks to get through to those clients who would not be able to service the loan in zlotys and also created a broad demand base for housing and the connected, what at that time seemed, cheap debt financing. 4 Scientific Journal of the Polish Economic Society in Zielona Góra 2017, Vol. 6. The banking sector was offering mortgages related to foreign currency, including Swiss franc, as early as 2000. Interest rates on housing loans in zloty was as high as 20% at that time. For many Polish people who wanted to buy an apartment, loans at such a high cost were then simply unavailable. In 2004-2005, there was a strengthening of the PLN against the CHF, thus allowing those with loans denominated in Swiss franc to actually experience re- duced interest rates, which further reinforced the common argument for such loans being a favorable solution and built an additional marketing message. The relative ease (favorable initial conditions relating to the share of credit in real estate financing and different credit scoring procedure than in foreign currency-denominated loans) in obtaining a mortgage loan related to a foreign currency resulted in the entry to the group of borrowers of those persons and households who would not normally receive a PLN loan at that time, which would therefore not lead to the conclusion of a real estate purchase transac- tion. The situation in which one could, without much formalities, take a mortgage loan in foreign currency triggered a huge increase in the number of transactions on the real estate market, and thus the corresponding real estate price increase, until the revaluation. Bank cus- tomers were eager to borrow easily available loans and most of them did not anticipate deteri- oration of their credit conditions or what would happen if they were no longer be able to pay back their loans (Szelągowska 2010, p. 22). An additional impetus for increased purchase transactions in 2005-2006 was the grow- ing real estate boom, further expanded by media reports on the planned restrictions on

  • The Millennium of Polish Pilgrimages
    PEREGRINUS CRACOVIENSIS Zeszyt 10, 2000 ISSN 1425−1922 Antoni Jackowski, Izabela Sołjan The Millennium of Polish Pilgrimages 1. igrations stimulated by religious motifs have played an important role wi− thin the migration processes in many countries. Peregrinations to holy pla− Mces have existed almost since the beginning of mankind. Apart from the religious values, pilgrimages have also constituted an important element in the deve− lopment of the geographical horizons of societies. Also they have always been one of the main factors determining religious culture in its broadest meaning. In Poland, the pilgrimage tradition goes back to pagan times, while the early days of Christian pilgrimages could be noted as early as the 11th century. At present, about 5−7 million people a year participate in the pilgrimage migrations. This is about 15% of the population of Poland. The pilgrims are Roman and Orthodox Catholics as well as members of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Muslim. In the past, the pilgrimage groups included the members of Jewish congregations and during the years of partitions also the Polish Protestants. The Poles now account for more than 3−5% of the Christian pilgrims all over the world and for about 20% in Europe. At the moment, in Poland, there are more than 500 pilgrimage sanctuaries. The absolute majority (98%) of the pilgrimage centres belong to the Roman Catholic Church. Among those Catholic centres dominant position belongs to St. Mary’s sanctuaries. There are about 430 of them and out of this number 200 possess crowned effigies of Our Lady. The most important centres have acquired international fame.

  • Spatial Structure Transformations of the Niepołomicka Forest Surroundings
    Grażyna Korzeniak SPATIAL STRUCTURE TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE NIEPOŁOMICKA FOREST SURROUNDINGS Abstrakt. This paper presents results of our research on the process of building development intensification within the Niepołomicka Forest surroundings in 1978-2003, and spatial policies of communes in relation to those areas, as well as results of those policies. Our research demonstrated diversification in the types of spatial structure transformation processes occurring in various parts of the metropolitan area, a considerable influence of even small but ecologically susceptible areas on the natural spatial structure of development, as well as justifiability of determining natural functional areas for the coordination of spatial policy on a trans-local level, in particular within metropolitan areas subjected to strong investment pressures. Key Words: spatial planning, urbanization, metropolitan areas. 1. Introduction Current development processes are indicated primarily by the spatial system and mutual relationships between natural elements and the habitat network. The degree and directions of the habitat network transformations are the objects of research and considerations relating to sustainable spatial development on various scales and with taking into account various aspects of the process. Those considerations include especially the analyses of urbanization processes (Rajman 1997, Sokołowski 1998, 2005, Liszewski, Maik 2001, Zborowski 2005, Parysek, Mierzejewska 2005), the relationships between the development of settlements and the natural environment, the role of spatial planning in shaping of such relationships (Bartkowski 1986, Lier 1994, Kleven 1996, Hollander, Taylor 2003), and, in recent years, also the transformation of settlement structures, in connection with the transformation processes (Degórska 2000), as well as the problem of metropolitan area planning (Zuziak 2005).

  • Ochrona Krajobrazu Kulturowego W Polsce I Jej Przykład W Kalwarii Zebrzydowskiej
    A l e k s a n d e r Bö h m Preservation of Cultural Heritage in Poland: a Case Study of Kalwaria Zebrzydowska Polish law defines cultural landscape as “space shaped historically as a result of human activity, containing artefacts of civilisation and elements of nature”1. In this sense, it is protected and the forms of preservation are defined, to a varied extent, by four acts of law: 1. Law on monument protection and care (2003), 2. Law on land planning and development (2003), 3. Law on the preservation of nature (2004), 4. Law on environmental protection (2001). As part of heritage preservation efforts, cultural landscape may be protected as such or as a representation of a group of objects enjoying legal protection. Also, both forms may co-exist, for example when listed historical buildings form a complex which is also inscribed on a heritage list as a whole, or hold another type of protected status. Apart from in­ scriptions on lists maintained by local (Voivodeship) conservation officers, the laws provide for: - awarding the title of Historic Monument (by way of Ordinance of the President of Poland), - creating cultural parks (by way of resolution of localself-governments), - enforcing protection in a local planning scheme (by way of resolution of local self-governments). For practical reasons (inscribing a single object on a heritage list is easier) and due to a common understanding of landscape as a vast area, the Act on monument protection sets forth two particularly important forms of protection of areas in local planning schemes: a cultural park and A l e k s a n d e r B ö h m Ochrona krajobrazu kulturowego w Polsce i jej przykład w Kalwarii Zebrzydowskiej i Krajobraz kulturowy został w polskim prawie zdefiniowany jako „prze­ strzeń historycznie ukształtowana w wyniku działalności człowieka, zawierająca wytwory cywilizacji oraz elementy przyrodnicze”1.

  • Warsaw to Krakow: a Pilgrimage of Faith and Social Transformation
    Warsaw to Krakow: A Pilgrimage of Faith and Social Transformation 11 days / 9 nights Saint John Paul II was deeply rooted in tradition while seeking ever new ways to proclaim the Gospel. Prepare to journey from the darkest moments of humanity to the great light of social change and cultural conversion. The grace of Divine Mercy will guide our way! Day 1: Departure from the USA _____________________________________ A pilgrimage is a journey toward holiness (Scott Peck, In Search of Stones). Our pilgrimage begins as we depart the USA on an international overnight flight to Warsaw, Poland; beverages and meals served aloft. Day 2: Arrive Warsaw_____________________________________________ Warsaw is known as the “Phoenix City” because it has literally risen from the ashes of World War II. Eighty percent of its buildings were destroyed but through hard work and perseverance, the Varsovians, as natives are called, have rebuilt it. We’ll transfer to our hotel for dinner and an overnight stay upon arrival in Warsaw. Day 3: Warsaw City Tour __________________________________________ Folk etymology attributes Warsaw’s name to a fisherman, Wars, and his wife Sawa. According to legend, Sawa was a mermaid living in the Vistula River who Wars fell in love with. The mermaid is Warsaw's symbol and can be found on statues throughout the city and on the city's coat of arms. In 1653, the poet Zygmunt Laukowski asked an interesting question: Warsaw of strong walls; why was the emblem Mermaid with sharp sword, given you by the kings? We’ll begin our tour of Warsaw, an inspiring city admired for the way it managed the transition from years of "urban misery" into the era of "urban renaissance," with a visit to the church of St.
