The 2014 governmental forecast predicted a considerable increase in energy use by 2030. Most recent reports describe only a slight growth by 2020, after which demand will level off. Meanwhile, last year’s report prepared by Deloitte Business Consulting and DNP Bank concluded that Poland’s demand for energy will peak in 2015 and then begin to fall. ow is this surprising trend possible? We see dly surprising since the energetic potential that our economy is developing, more and of the Sun seems limitless.

Today, after nearly 20 years, the wars are over, in most areas peace has set in, and stability has been achieved. And yet, in our interview with Blerim Reka, he echoes Clinton’s words saying: “It is the duty of our generation to tell our grandchildren the successful story of the Balkans, different from the bloody Balkans one which we were told about.” This and many more observations made by the authors of this issue of New Eastern Europe piece together a complex picture of a region marred by a painful past and facing a hopeful, yet fragile future.

  • The Development of Tourism at Military-Historical Structures and Sites – a Case Study of the Building Complexes of Project Riese in the Owl Mountains
    Pol. J. Sport Tourism 2014, 21, 36-41 DOI: 10.2478/pjst-2014-0005 36 THE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM AT MILITARY-HISTORICAL STRUCTURES AND SITES – A CASE STUDY OF THE BUILDING COMPLEXES OF PROJECT RIESE IN THE OWL MOUNTAINS EL¯BIETA STACH, ANETA PAW£OWSKA, £UKASZ MATOGA Jagiellonian University, Institute of Geography and Spatial Management, Department of Tourism and Health Resort Management Mailing address: El¿bieta Stach, Jagiellonian University, Department of Tourism and Health Resort Management, 7 Gronostajowa Street, 30-387 Kraków, tel.: +48 12 6645295, fax: +48 12 6645385, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Introduction. During WWII, the Owl Mountains were the site of a large-scale military investment codenamed Riese. This project called for the construction of underground passages using concentration camp prisoners as laborers. Material and methods. On the basis of terrain inventory, analysis was conducted of the tourism management of six military-historical complexes of Project Riese and their environs. Tourists were polled to determine how attractive they found one of these – the Rzeczka complex – as a tourist destination. Results. The results obtained in the study led to the conclusion that the complexes' infrastructure and tourist attractions meet the needs of tourist activity in the area. In the case of the muni- cipalities where complexes are located, it was determined that they are not being adequately developed. Conclusions. At present, the Project Riese complexes are seeing the development of various forms of tourism. An important problem with the development of tourism there is the conflict between the need to protect the environment and cultural heritage and the development of commercial and recreational tourism services.

  • Komunikat CBOS „Zmiany W Rankingu Zaufania Do Polityków”, Marzec 2010 (Oprac
    Warszawa, sierpień 2013 BS/116/2013 ZAUFANIE DO POLITYKÓW W SIERPNIU Znak jakości przyznany CBOS przez Organizację Firm Badania Opinii i Rynku 11 stycznia 2013 roku Fundacja Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej ul. Żurawia 4a, 00-503 Warszawa e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] http://www.cbos.pl (48 22) 629 35 69 Półmetek wakacji nie przyniósł dużych zmian w rankingu zaufania do osób aktywnych w życiu politycznym naszego kraju. W sierpniu1 listę polityków obdarzanych przez Polaków największym zaufaniem otwiera prezydent Bronisław Komorowski. Tak jak miesiąc temu zaufanie do głowy państwa deklaruje prawie trzy czwarte badanych (71%). Warto przypomnieć, iż prezydent jest liderem rankingu zaufania niemal niezmiennie od marca 2010 roku, kiedy to pełnił funkcję marszałka Sejmu, a zarazem był kandydatem Platformy Obywatelskiej w planowanych na jesień wyborach prezydenckich2. Od tego czasu Bronisław Komorowski stracił pozycję lidera jedynie w październiku i listopadzie 2010 roku3 na rzecz ówczesnego przewodniczącego Parlamentu Europejskiego Jerzego Buzka, który znalazł się na liście po kilkunastu miesiącach przerwy i uplasował się na pierwszym miejscu rankingu zaufania. Notowania pozostałych uwzględnionych w sierpniowym badaniu osób aktywnych w życiu politycznym naszego kraju kształtują się na znacznie niższym poziomie. Drugie miejsce w rankingu zaufania zajmuje niezależny poseł Ryszard Kalisz (45%). Na trzecim miejscu znalazł się szef MSZ Radosław Sikorski (41%), który tym samym utrzymuje status lidera rankingu zaufania społecznego wśród polityków PO. W porównaniu z poprzednim miesiącem zaufanie do Radosława Sikorskiego deklaruje jednak nieco mniej badanych (spadek o 4 punkty). Kolejne miejsca zajmują Leszek Miller oraz Grzegorz Schetyna, obdarzani zaufaniem przez co trzeciego respondenta (odpowiednio: 34% i 33%). W stosunku do lipca obaj politycy nieznacznie stracili w odbiorze społecznym.

Like most of similar communities on the so-called Recovered Territories, it started to form aft er 1945 on “raw roots” aft er the German inhabitants of the area were removed. Th ey were replaced with people moved from the former eastern provinces of the Second Republic, among others from Kołomyja, but also from regions of central Poland. Also Poles returning from Germany, France and Romania sett led there. Th e area taken over by new sett lers had not been a cultural desert. Th e remains of material culture, mainly German, and the traditions of weaving and textile industry, reaching back to the Middle Ages, formed a huge potential for creating a vision of local cultural heritage for the newly forming community. Th ey also brought, however, their own notions of cultural heritage to the new area and, in addition, became subject to political pressure of recognising its “Piast” character as the “Recovered Territories”. Th e present re- search is an att empt to fi nd out to what extent that potential was utilised by new sett lers, who were carriers of various regional (or even national) cultures, for their creation of visions of the future, as well as how the dynamics of those transformations evolved.

In the first part, we present the regions that, according to the results of regional analyses, generate the highest percentage of domestic exports or show continuous development in this direction. The second part of the publication is dedicated to the presentation of Polish companies that are conquering the Polish export market and focusing largely on innovation in their business models. The voivodeships we present include, among others, the Masovian and Silesian regions, which generate almost a quarter of national exports. The value of the ex- port market in these regions as well as in Greater Poland exceeds EUR 20 billion. In recent years, other regions, such as Lower Silesian Voivodeship, have recorded the greatest increase in the value of exported goods. Zygmunt Berdychowski Chairman of the Economic Forum The synthetic summaries include a compendium of knowledge about the Programme Council voivodeships, thanks to which a potential investor or entrepreneur who wants to start or develop a business in Poland will find information about the location, net- work of connections, transport accessibility, level of urbanization, sectoral structure of enterprises, employment structure, percentages regarding projects with foreign capital.
