Aktywność społeczna mieszkańców gmin województwa lubelskiego, w których realizowano prace scaleniowe gruntów rolnych – studium przypadku

Author(s): Małgorzata Dudzińska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2016

Agricultural land consolidation affects the development of rural areas. He FAO [2008] classifies land consolidation impacts at three levels: first, there is the micro-level, where land consolidation aims focus on changing the farm structure. Secondly, there is the meso-level, where land consolidation has broader aims for changing rural communities by improving infrastructure, the natural environment, management of natural resources, landscape and, consequently, the spatial distribution of economic activities. Finally, there is the macro-level, where the focus is on changes which can positively affect the whole country, by reducing the disparities between rural and urban areas. According to Dacko [2006], the main goal of land consolidation should be to improve the quality of rural life, and not only to increase agricultural production. Land consolidation measures should be initiated to revive the countryside by encouraging continuous economic and political development of the local community, while protecting and rationally managing natural resources. He local community should participate democratically in land consolidation and in defining new forms of land use that make the most of the local potential. Therefore, the passage of time has brought about changes to the wider perception of consolidation work – not only in the strictly technical and economic aspects but in the social and environmental ones. One of the social benefits resulting from the implementation of consolidation work is the active involvement of the local community in the issues related to the formation of spatial conditions and enhancing the inhabitants’ social activity. In view of the above, the aim of the paper is to investigate the level of social activity of inhabitants in the communes in which agricultural land consolidation has been implemented. He study employed an analysis and synthesis of the literature as well as spatial and statistical research. He area under study included communes of Lubelskie voivodship.

ALTERNATIVE COMMUNITIES IN RURAL SPACES. A WORLD OF OTHERS

ALTERNATIVE COMMUNITIES IN RURAL SPACES. A WORLD OF OTHERS

Author(s): Angel Paniagua / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

This contribution is an analysis of difference between alternative communities and a case study of others in a community of others. There is no academic consensus in the geographical field about others ruralities. Through the exam of the alternative spaces is possible to advance in the interpretation of the difference and the others. We seek to give a big picture of the alternative communities in depopulated areas and the differences between them. The alternative communities grouped in the Red Iberica of Ecoaldeas are the empirical example with a specific case study: Tierras Altas in Soria (Spain). The technique of investigation in the documentary interpretation of its own sources: leaflets, advertisements, propaganda and information leaflets. A systematic inventory and analysis of the journalistic reports on these initiatives is a secondary source. In addition, geo-ethnographic methods are used in the case of study. The study reveals different –and even contrasted- types of rural alternatives in Spain, based in new form of difference/alternative (rural) lives in a specific and special place and singular housing. It are concluded that among the other alternatives there is no convergence in its self-definition, an open category. It constitutes the symbiosis between nature, community and individual. The relationship between others alternatives and the nature/land is a central element in the discourse, tactics and strategies. In addition, social exclusivity is one of the characteristics of many alternative settlements. It eliminates the conflict between traditional rural communities and new comers.

An Unknown Census of the Population of Przemyśl from mid-1918

An Unknown Census of the Population of Przemyśl from mid-1918

Author(s): Zdzisław Budzyński,Jolanta Kamińska-Kwak / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

The main source for this article is a population census carried out in Przemyśl in 1918, previously unused in any scientific research. Using a survey method, it encompassed single households; only some of the material exists to this day, a larger part stored in the Sanok Archive, and a smaller in the National Archive in Przemyśl. The census combined the elements of the earlier “State of Souls” (status animarum) in relation to households and the more modern type of Austrian survey to which new categories were added; its original form enables new methods for analyzing the local population of that area. The circumstances in which the census was carried out are unknown; we can assume that it was conducted by the local magistrate, due to food shortages and mass migration of the population (including the military) to the city. The surviving 1,163 cards enable us to pinpoint personal data from the respondents, such as sex, age, religion and nationality, place of birth and address, and in some cases social status and profession.

Real estate delimitation is a difficult and complicated administrative procedure designed to determine the course of borders. This procedure due to its multistage character and complexity is usually extended in time. The purpose of this article is to present the duration problem of the real estate delimitation. Individual stages of the delimitation with their duration has been indicated. The authors also pointed out to the regulations on which depends the time of performed demarcations. The analysis was conducted based on the documentation of real estate boundaries conducted in the municipality of Liszki, Lesser Poland region, in the years 1989.2013, which was gathered in the County Documentation Centre of Geodesy and Cartography in Krakow.

ANALIZA GUSTOĆE PONIKAVA NA SJEVERNOM VELEBITU I SENJSKOM BILU

Author(s): Sanja Faivre / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/1992

The analysis of the dolines density on the North Velebit and Senjsko Bilo is shown. On 947 km2 has been registrated 18 059 dolines. One of the basic characteristic is the regular ranges of dolines, principally in direction NW-SE, and the regular change of the zones of bigger and smaller density. This indicate that the influence of the fault zones is essencial. The disposition of the ranges of dolines density has an exceptional morphostructural importance. There are three main fault zones: 1. Melnice-Kuterevo NW-SE, 2. Krasno-Lipovo polje WNW-ESE, 3. Bakovac fault zone E-W. The highest intensity of the dolines density is related to a wider area of convergention of three mentioned fault zones i.e. to the SE edge of Senjsko bilo, weider area of Lipovo polje and Bakovac.

Analiza liczby wydanych decyzji o warunkach zabudowy i zagospodarowania terenu we wsiach strefy podmiejskiej Olsztyna

Author(s): Sławomir Sobotka / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2015

This paper presents the results of a study for PhD thesis entitled: Spatial Development Within Olsztyn Suburban Area Against The Background Of Changes To Agricultural Landscape. The spatial range of the study covered 6 communes situated within Olsztyn suburban area. In order to address spatial changes, Decisions on building and land development conditions issued in the years 2004.2010 were analysed. Under the Act on spatial planning and development [Journal of Laws of 2003 No 80, item 717, as amended], the Decision on building and land development conditions has become an important instrument in spatial planning. In many villages or communes (mainly in communes of Purda and Jonkowo) located within Olsztyn suburban area, it has become the predominant means in land development. In the years 2004.2010, a total of 5308 Decisions on building and land development conditions were issued. The number of decisions issued indicated an increasing trend in the years 2004.2009. Most decisions (55 %) issued in the years 2004.2008 concerned the construction of single family houses. With the increase in the distance from the administrative boundaries of Olsztyn, the issue of Decisions on building and land development conditions for the construction of technical infrastructure is becoming predominant in villages.

Analiza managementului de proiect din domeniul planificării spaţiale în mediul academic

Author(s): Alexandra Meilă,Alexandru-Ionuţ Petrişor / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2021

In the field of spatial planning, the quality of documentation depends largely on the quality of the process. Due to the procurement procedures in which the criterion is almost exclusively the lowest price, the quality of the landscaping and urban planning documentation has progressively decreased. This article aims to initiate a scientific approach to identify whether the quality of spatial planning documentation is not due to inadequate project management. For this purpose, the research methodology consisted in investigating the implementation of professional project management, based on new technologies and software in the development of urban planning and spatial planning. The method of sociological analysis used is based on two essential tools for gathering the information needed for a quantitative analysis - the questionnaire and the interview. The finality of the study will highlight the main risks identified in the analysis of the management of urban planning and spatial planning documentation.

Analiza rozwoju Sieradza na podstawie interpretacji zdjęć lotniczych i waloryzacji przestrzeni z wykorzystaniem elementów teorii zbiorów rozmytych

Author(s): Mariola Matuszewska,Krzysztof Będkowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 4/2019

The spread of cities poses a serious urbanisation and natural challenge and significantly affects the quality of life of the inhabitants. The aim of the study was to examine the possibility of analysing the spread of the city of Sieradz based on the interpretation of multi-temporal aerial imagery from the years 1959, 1996 and 2015, and the topographical object database. There are 22 land cover classes that are attributed with coefficients determining their degree of belonging to the urban use of space. The area of the city is divided into hexagonal primary fields (1 ha) and the proportion of different forms of land use is determined and the M indicator calculated, which determines to what extent each primary field belongs to the urban way of space use. The primary fields were than classified into three zones: urban (0.5 < M ≤ 1.0), transitional (0.3 ≤ M ≤ 0.5) or rural (0 ≤ M < 0.3). Maps of the increment of this indicator in the test periods were made also. In the city there were consistently predominant areas with a rural nature of space use, because Sieradz has a large share of farmland, grassy vegetation, woodland and trees, orchards, plantations and gardens. Over time, however, the city area of typical urban use is increasing, which is mainly in the central and eastern part of the city and is clearly approaching its southern border, confirming the expansion of urban development to peripheral areas. By the year 1996 the growth of the M indicator took place mainly in the central part of the city, and in the next period revealed the clear “islands” of this growth quite distant from the centre. During the period 1959–1996 in Sieradz an early stage of the development of urban sprawl is noticeable – mainly progressive construction near the railway. However, in later years, the increase in accessibility to car transport was the cause of a deeping phenomenon of “urban sprawl” into the peripheral areas, causing a lively development of the suburbs. Studies have shown that urban sprawl also applies to mid-sized cities and confirms the suitability of archive aerial imagery and studies made using fuzzy sets theory to analyse the urban sprawl. The method used is relatively simple to use and can be fully automated.

Spatial planning is a main tool with which you can protect and shape the space in a rational way. The space planning refers to a real space, which is subjected to the processes of planning. Instrument of spatial planning and zoning are documents of planning. In order to identify the planning state of the city of Torun were subjected to a detailed analysis of the existing local zoning plans and plans that are under development, as well as decisions on land development conditions and land development issued after 2003. In order to determine the request of spatial planning assessment also examines building permits issued disaggregated by individual housing estates. On the basis of this analysis, the state planning of the city of Torun has been rated as good and developing in the desired direction.

ANALYSIS OF POPULATION CONCENTRATION AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE LARGEST REGIONAL CAPITALS OF RUSSIA

ANALYSIS OF POPULATION CONCENTRATION AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE LARGEST REGIONAL CAPITALS OF RUSSIA

Author(s): Irina Dmitrievna Turgel,Elizaveta Ulyanova / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

This article investigates the changing concentrations of population and economic activity in the largest regional capitals during the socio-economic transformations at the turn of the millennium. The study focuses on onmillion-plus administrative centers of Russian regions (federal subjects). In post-socialist and developing countries, population and economic activities tend to be increasingly concentrated in the regional capitals, which now occupy the leading positions among other second-tier cities in the national settlement system. The authors explore the reasons behind this trend and propose a methodological approach to assess the population concentration and economic activity in the largest regional capitals and compare these figures with those of the national capitals. In the empirical part of the study, the cities’ performance is assessed by applying a set of indicators, such as population size, production output, retail turnover, investment, and construction output, and compared with corresponding figures from Moscow and St. Petersburg. As a result, large regional capitals are classified according to their role in the country’s socio-economic performance and according to the disparities between these cities and Moscow and St. Petersburg. It was found that none of the largest regional capitals are able to compete with the country’s current and former capitals. Moreover, this gap has been widening over the last decade as the role of regional capitals in national economic development has been steadily declining. However, there are some positive dynamics, as some regional capitals have been outperforming the national average in certain spheres of socio-economic development.

Analysis of socio-economic spatial structure of urban agglomeration in China based on spatial gradient and clustering

Analysis of socio-economic spatial structure of urban agglomeration in China based on spatial gradient and clustering

Author(s): Li He,Jian'ge Tao,Ping Meng,Dan Chen,Meng Yan,Laszlo Vasa / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2021

Research background: Previous studies on the economic and social development of urban agglomerations mostly focus on a single primacy comparative analysis and efficiency evaluation. Spatial structure differentiation is an important feature of urban agglomeration. The lack of economic and social analysis on the spatial structure makes it impossible to determine the development positioning of each city in the urban agglomeration, which affects the sustainable economic development ability of these areas. Purpose of the article: The objective of the article is to analyze the spatial development law and experience of urban agglomeration, this study explores the practice of economic and population spatial structure of city areas in China. For this purpose, CPUA and its central city Zhengzhou was taken as an example, the spatial gradient structure of example was analyzed. Methods: Using economic and population data of 32 cities in this region, growth pole theory, and pole-axis theory, the economic and population spatial structure of urban agglomeration, the spatial gradient structure of central cities in urban agglomerations were analyzed with the method of cluster about radiation index. Findings & value added: (1) In the process of the formation of CPUA, the geographical spatial pattern plays a decisive role in economic and social development. This is an experience from developing countries. (2) CPUA presents a gradient development pattern with Zhengzhou as the center, and economic and social development gradually radiates to the metropolitan area, the core development area, and the character development demonstration area. (3) The economic and social gradients of Zhengzhou, the central city, present the hierarchy rules and characteristics which are driven by the Beijing-Guangzhou-Railway axis and the Longhai-Railway axis. (4) The central city of Zhengzhou still presents insufficient primacy in regional development, which shows that Zhengzhou accounts for 6% of the population of the Central Plains Economic Zone and 14% of GDP, and insufficient agglomeration. Different countries at different stages of economic development have different urban agglomeration development models. The conclusions from China provide new decision-making ideas and methods for spatial structure research and development strategy analysis of urban agglomerations.

Scientific progress embodies and depends on open communication, a common discourse that has roots in rationality, collaboration, as well as an easy and regular flow and efficient information exchange. These ideals can be considered hypocritical by elite power and can be displayed or emphasized in many other ways, but they are even involved in the idea of science, but they are based on the phenomenon called globalization and its practical outcomes. Business, banking and commerce depend on the flow of information and are facilitated by new communication technologies. The hardware of these technologies tends to be systemic and integrated - computerized, televised, cable, satellite, laser, optical fiber and microchip technology combining to create a vast network of communications and interactive information that can potentiate any people on earth have access to any other person, and each time they make each byte the availability of information for each set of eyes in search.

Antropocen i negantropologija

Author(s): Bernard Stiegler / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 25/2020

Nova kritika antropologije, filozofska kao i pozitivna: nije li to postalo nužno od onog trenutka 2004. godine kad smo na televiziji gledali Claudea Levi-Straussa kako govori da se priprema napustiti svijet koji više ne voli? Ako antropologija nije u stanju objasniti to nastajanje koje je duboko razočaralo antropologa, nije li zbog toga izgubila svoju legitimnost, kao što je tim filozofima palo na pamet da glumataju kako nisu svjesni tih pitanja? Drugim riječima, štoje nastalo od antropologije u eri antropocena? Ovoje moja teza: nastalaje negantropologija i mora doprinijeti pojavi negantropocena.

Antropocen: procesno stanje na rubu povijesti Zemlje?

Author(s): Peter Sloterdijk / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 25/2020

Kad je nizozemski atmosferski kemičar Paul J. Crutzen 2000. godine - posežući za analognim konceptom talijanskog geologa Stoppanija (1824. - 1891.) predložio izraz »antropocen«, kako bi današnje doba markirao iz prirodno-povijesne vizure, nametala se pretpostavka da će taj izraz ostati dijelom jednog hermetičkog diskursa, koji se koristi iza zatvorenih vrata instituta za analizu plina ili geofiziku. Zahvaljujući nepoznatoj seriji slučajnosti tom sintetičkom semantičkom virusu očito je uspjelo proći kroz dobro izolirana vrata laboratorija i proširiti se u općem životnom svijetu - pri čemu se stječe dojam da se posebno lako reproducira u kontekstu učenih feljtona, muzejskog pogona, makrosociologije, novih religioznih pokreta i ekološke alarmantne literature.

ANTROPOGENETSKA STRUKTURA OTOČNIH POPULACIJA ISTOČNOG JADRANA

ANTROPOGENETSKA STRUKTURA OTOČNIH POPULACIJA ISTOČNOG JADRANA

Author(s): Maja Bakran,Branka Janićijević / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 12+13/1994

The anthropogenetic structure of six island/peninsular populations - Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Pelješac, Silba and Olib - of the Eastern Adriatic, Croatia, is analyzed on the basis of the study of four different erythrocyte antigen systems/groups and two erythrocyte isoenzyme systems. Average sample size was 555 individuals. Allele frequencies and genetic distances values were computed. The obtained results point to the fact that all of the populations in question have preserved their separate characteristics in the course of their (micro) evolution to the present day, which is especially noticeable for the island populations of Korčula and Olib, as these populations distinguish themselves from the other studied populations with a greater degree of isolation.

Antropološka – jungijanska analiza paradoksa specifičnosti Podgorja: prema arhetipskom čitanju hrvatskih životnih kozmologija

Antropološka – jungijanska analiza paradoksa specifičnosti Podgorja: prema arhetipskom čitanju hrvatskih životnih kozmologija

Author(s): Sanja Špoljar Vržina / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2017

Between the littoral slopes of Velebit, south of Senj, stretches Podgorje, which in global dimensions could freely be described as the foothill of the Croatian Tibet. Moreover, our prematurely departed ethnologist and anthropologist, Tomo Vinšćak, who visited both heaven touchingpoints, claimed that Kailash and Velebit were mountain relatives – the Himalayan and Croatian Olympus (1991). In this paper the need of a coherent familiarisation of the specificity of this region and its people will be brought up and also argued for with the same persistence from ground level insights (with experience). So if it is seemingly possible to define the foothill of the Croatian Olympus (with a lack of empirical comparison) as a pretentious idealisation, it remains the factography of many disciplines, which synergistically rearranged allow a less depressing interpretation of the region by its people.In this paper such a scientific association is sought to be reached with the intertwining of the use of anthropological perspectives (emic-etic) and a Jungian analysis of an empirical archetypal sequence that links the author with this region.This is a region of the frequent collective forgetfulness of all the historiographic facts, which confirm that despite the harshness of nature which has poured the 'bura' and drought down here over the centuries, and the description that from this region people just escaped and disappeared because of the difficulty of life, it has remained a junction of numerous peoples and populations.The anchor point of many cultural, sacral and imaginative dimensions for Croats, just like one of the final destinations of the largest Croatian migratory flows. In today’s literal and trite postmodernistic interpretations – a region of multicultural encounters despite the in loco of the difficult narratives of life. Following the same superficiality, it also becomes a region for a brief drop by in the manner of an altogether ritual form of an expedition at the challenge of the wilderness – from the touristic branding of wandering through Velebit, under the motto of the preservation of untameable nature, to the altogether planned experience of being beaten by the 'bura' on the quayside of Senj. In order that everything mentioned is not left to just an eco(nomic)historical search of symbolism,metaphors and bricolages of myths, it would be good here to widen the interpretation of the specificity of the locality and to add the reality of bio-cultural history. Thus, the contributions of the research of many kinds of disciplines in the area of medicine have for decades already pointed to a kind of, let’s say, paradox of the Podgorje specificity,which is reflected in the contrast of a place of hard living compared to a desired place to live out old age or if wanted cosmologically and less anthropocentrically, an old age of open-ended enjoyment and comfort. The final aim of the analysis of this paper is the (re)direction of the possible interests for Podgorje with the touristic-exotic-profitable colonial matrices onto a cosmological-ethical understanding in which the interconnection of man, nature and history deserves a much wider perception of its 'endurance'instead of 'sustainability' or 'revitalisation'. With the cosmological approach said, each equation of neoliberal comfort here is inapplicable, quite the opposite, it is reversely proportionate to the historical and biocultural evidence. To conclude – nothing surprising in relation to the possibility of the interpretation of this region as the foothill of the Croatian Olympus.

Application of GIS in spatial analysis of industry concentration: the case study of Tešanj municipality (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Author(s): Alma Kadušić,Sabahudin Smajić,Dragoslav Pavić,Vladimir Stojanović / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

The focus of this study is a spatial analysis of the industry distribution and concentration, on the example of municipality of Tešanj (Bosnia and Herzegovina), based on the application of GIS methods. Municipality of Tešanj is one of the most developed municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Tešanj’s industry significantly contributes to the economic development of this country. GIS analysis of industry was based on the field work, locating and georeferencing industrial companies, acquisition, adaptation, adjustment and validation of digital surface models and google satellite imagery, mapping of relief, hydrography and transport network. With the aim of geovisualization of spatial distribution of industry, spatial descriptive statistics and non-parametric density estimation analysis (Kernel Density Estimation) were performed. In order to determine the distribution of industry in relation to relief (elevation, slope, and aspect), hydrography and transport network, GIS techniques of reclassification, vectorization, count point in polygons, buffer and clip geoprocessing tools were used. Conducted research provided a new insight into the data mining and visualization based on principles of QGIS, the effects of geographic factors on industry distribution, and confirmed the importance of relief, hydrographic and transport network on the concentration of industry in municipality Tešanj.

Applying plant disturbance indicators to reveal the hemeroby of soil macrofauna species

Applying plant disturbance indicators to reveal the hemeroby of soil macrofauna species

Author(s): N. V. Yorkina,S. M. Podorozhniy,L. G. Velcheva,Y. V. Honcharenko,O. V. Zhukov / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

Hemeroby is an integrated indicator for measuring human impacts on environmental systems. Hemeroby has a complex nature and a variety of mechanisms to affect ecosystems. Hemeroby is often used to assess disturbances in different vegetation types but this concept has seldom been evaluated for animals. The role of the hemeroby gradient in structuring the soil macrofauna community was investigated. The experimental polygon was located in Botanical Garden of the Oles Honchar Dnipro National University (Dnipro City, Ukraine). There were 20 sites within the polygon. On each of them at 105 points samples of soil macrofauna were taken, soil penetration resistance, electrical conductivity of soil, depth of litter, height of grasses were measured. Within each site, a description of the vegetation cover was made. Based on the description of the vegetation, an indication of the level of ecosystem hemeroby within the polygons was conducted. In total, 48,457 invertebrate (Annelida, Arthropoda, and Mollusca) individuals of 6 classes, 13 orders, 50 families and 83 species or parataxonomic units were recorded. Phytoindication reveals that the level of hemeroby within the studied polygons varies from 34.9 to 67.2. The model V and VI from the HOFJO-list were the most optimal model of the species response to hemeroby gradient. The weighted average factor value was used to assess the optimal factor level for the species in a symmetrical bell-shaped response model. The optimal factor level of the hemeroby for the soil macrofauna species ranges from 34.9 to 66.0. Species also differ in degree of specialization to the factor of hemeroby. There was a regular change in the soil macrofauna community size and diversity in the hemeroby gradient. The limiting influence of anthropogenic transformation of the environment on the abundance of soil macrofauna community is clearly marked at the level of hemeroby above average. Species diversity of the community is greatest at moderate hemeroby level. Both relatively little transformed habitats and strongly transformed ones are characterized by lower species richness of the soil macrofauna community. The Shannon index shows a clear upward trend with increasing hemeroby. The Pielou index indicates that the main reason for this trend is an increase in community evenness with increasing hemeroby. The intermediate disturbance hypothesis was fully supported with respect to species richness. For the number of species, there is indeed a certain level of heterogeneity at which the number of species is highest. For another aspect of diversity, evenness, this pattern is not true. The evenness increases with increasing habitat disturbance. This result is due to a decrease in the abundance of dominant species.
