They are influenced by different factors and forces. Technological changes, digital revolution, globalization or environmental pressure are the big- gest challenges that socio-economic systems of cities and countries have to face. Measures aimed at addressing the challenges associated with the uncertain environment could be a key to success while underestimating them could lead to a downfall. Many scholars and researchers publishing in periodicals and journals make an attempt to identify factors that characterise emerging spatial units, factors that shape conditions of the social, economic and spatial development. This is the subject addressed in the current issue of Studia Periegetica, which offers a collec- tion of studies that approach the research problem from very different perspec- tives. Relevant aspects of international cooperation on transport networks are dis- cussed by Galina Gavrilko, Dariya A. Dashkevich and Qi Peiyu in the article en- titled “Economic Cooperation Between the Republic of China and the Republic of Belarus in the Context of Implementation of the One Belt, One Road Foreign Economic Strategy.” The analysis is conducted in the context of cooperation be- tween China and Belarus concerning the implementation of the new economic connection between the two countries. Belarus is a country eager to start co-op- eration with China but opening its market to Chinese products could be both an opportunity and a threat. Alla Pakina looks at the problem of environmental pressure from a national perspective by investigating the question of carbon intensity of the regional econ- omy. She analyses the example of Russia and in terms of carbon intensity as a land use management factor and tries to assess its applicability and usefulness. Russia is also the subject of interest to Anna V. Belova, who analyses semi- medium-sized towns of North-West Russia and their potential to become drivers 10 Introduction of regional development. Anna V. Belova presents different level of analysis fo- cusing on the city level, which seems to be the most adequate in describing local development drivers. City level is the perspective adopted by Agnieszka Sobol, who examines par- ticipatory budgeting in the city of Katowice, Poland. In her analysis, she tries to establish whether participatory budgeting can push the city on its way towards sustainability. It is worth mentioning that participatory budgeting is a process im- plemented by local authorities to improve social participation and involvement in the decision-making process and sharing responsibility for the common future. Deeply local solutions, arising from grassroots initiatives, are discussed by Barbara Borusiak and Barbara Kucharska. In the article entitled “Sustainability in Retailing: A Study of Consumer Intentions Regarding Involvement in Char- ity Shop Activities” the authors examine the main factors that motivate people involved in a charity-shopping idea. Education, which is the topic raised by covered by Volha Kremleva and Alena Jukh, seems to be the common denominator of the previous and following arti- cles. In their article “Possibilities and Practices of Competences for Sustainable Development in Teacher Education at Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno,” they discuss the role of education in shaping environmental consciousness and developing responsible governance. Only an effective teaching process and its capacity for adaptation to the changing
