The aim of the paper was to present the level of disparities and economic poverty in rural areas of Poland in the period 2010-2016. The adopted research assumption was that a high level of income inequality led to a high level of relative poverty. The research was based on the analysis and synthesis of literature and secondary statistical data from the Central Statistical Office. In the theoretical part, the author presented an overview of inequality and poverty definitions. The research part used descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The obtained results demonstrate that there is a strong positive correlation between income inequality measured using the Gini index and relative poverty in rural areas. No correlation between variables for the professional group of farmers was observed. It can be thus assumed that an increase in income inequality in rural areas leads to an increase in relative poverty, however this correlation does not apply to households, where the main source of income is agriculture.

The research problem addressed in this paper includes the progress of suburbanization in selected Polish metropolises. The following core question was formulated: when did today’s suburbanization processes start, and what are the migration trends and targets of the population living at the dividing line between urban and suburban limits in Polish metropolises. Defined as such, the study field enabled formulating the objective of this research, which is to present the formation of new suburbanization processes in the largest metropolises in Poland. Considering the research problem and the defined objective, the authors analyzed the differences in demographic changes across the territory, and put these findings in the context of suburbanization and its stages. This allowed to determine the dynamics and targets of migration in the metropolises surveyed. Also, the changes were compared between the units covered, providing a basis for further considerations on suburbanization and for concluding whether these processes are cyclical in nature. The analyses relied on descriptive statistics methods and on graphical data presentation methods. The selected metropolises were delimited using QGIS Desktop 2.4.0 and adequate geometry (centroid) and geoprocessing (buffer) tools. This paper relies on source data in the form of shapefile vector layers presenting the boundaries of the administrative units considered (http://www.gugik.gov.pl/pzgik). Source materials included public statistical data and program documents developed at regional and sub-regional level. The study period is 1995-2018. In geographic terms, the study focuses on the selected metropolises of Poznań, Warsaw, Łódź, Wrocław, Krakow, Gdansk and Szczecin.

Second World

Since the Second World War, Poland has been undergoing an intensive process of transformation of the economic structure of rural areas, manifested, among other things, in the change in the occupational make-up of its inhabitants. The development of non-agricultural methods of management in rural areas has led to the emergence of multifunctional rural areas, where the role of agriculture as a source of income for the inhabitants is decreasing. There is a process of deagrarianisation of the economic structure, which has been indicated by many researchers as an unavoidable process, connected with the changes taking place in rural areas. One of the effects of this process are changes in rural settlement patterns. The aim of this article is to present the spatial effects of the deagrarianisation process in the Polish countryside, expressed in the changes in the rural settlement network. The authors used the statistical database of the Central Statistical Office (over 41 thousand records) to draw up the classification of rural areas by the nature of changes in population numbers in the period 1950–2011, which was compared with the research carried out as part of the Monitoring of Rural Development in Poland. The study confirmed that the factor behind the evolution of the rural settlement network is the process of decreasing agricultural demand for labour. As a consequence, there is a polarisation of localities into multifunctional rural localities, mainly headquarter villages and local government offices, and those with a predominantly agricultural function. On a supra-local scale, a process of polarisation of rural areas between a growing suburban population and a reducing peripheral location around large and medium-sized towns has been observed.

The article classifies Polish voivodeships into appropriate groups with a similar level of occupational safety in the construction industry. The basis for the adopted classification was statistical data published by the Central Statistical Office regarding population, employment in the construction industry, the value of construction production and the number of occupational accidents. The conducted research allowed a logical and correct, in terms of content, division of the Polish territory to be made, taking into account the aspect of occupational safety in the construction industry. Statistica software and cluster analysis were used to solve the problem.

The paper presents the characteristics of the level and development of international tourism after 2005, in selected EU countries. Data from Eurostat, UNWTO, WTTC and the CSO were analysed, as well as the publications of Central Statistical Office and the Institute of Tourism. For the analysis concerning Poland also individual data from the household budget rate survey CSO were used. The research described the differences in the rate of tourism development between the countries, followed by their determinants. The article presents the most popular touristic European countries, as well as regions in Poland chosen by foreign tourists, taking into account changes in agritourist objects. Opportunities for development of tourism in the eastern region of Poland were indicated. The research revealed that the preferences of Poles differ from those of other Europeans, as a result not only of different distance from particular countries, but also economic, political, and migration situation. The analysis and synthesis method were used and the results were presented in descriptive and graphical form.

Objective – The article discusses the main concepts and sources of information about museum libraries in Poland, moving towards their definition and place in the native library system. It is an opportunity to reflect on how museum libraries operate on the border of the “museum” and “library” worlds. Method – the subject literature, surveys and statistical reports of the Central Statistical Office (Główny Urząd Statystyczny – GUS) and the National Institute for Museums and Public Collections (Narodowy Instytut Muzealnictwa i Ochrony Zbiorów – NIMOZ) were reviewed, as well as the organizational regulations of selected museums and websites of some museum libraries in Poland. The Act on Libraries of June 27, 1997 was analysed with regard to the division of national libraries into types. The material was analysed to try to place museum libraries within the context of the abovementioned division. Conclusions – It is difficult to study a museum library whilst applying only the set of concepts known to librarians. There is also a lack of relevant statistical data. Due to the fact that museum libraries are rooted primarily in the institution of the museum and have therefore an obligation to achieve its goals and mission, as well as to trends in the development of Polish museology, 21st century museum libraries have gone beyond the scope of professional libraries within the meaning of the Act on Libraries of June 27, 1997.

Abstract The aim of this paper was to evaluate the intensity of rural area marginalisation. As a study region, Western periphery of Poland has been chosen. The spatial scope of the research covers three border voivodeships: Dolnośląskie, Lubuskie and Zachodniopomorskie, however, the study was conducted at the local level, including 310 rural and rural-urban gminas (administrative region of the 3rd order in Poland). The statistical data were derived from the Central Statistical Office from the period of last two decades. Results revealed the differences in the level of rural area marginalization and were analysed in terms of agricultural and socio-economic aspects.

The paper presents income situation of Polish rural households in 2005 –2012. The research material came from unpublished empirical studies of Central Statistical Office . Changes of income level and structure of main income sources of the livelihoods were presented. Growing importance of wage from off-farm jobs and a decline of the share of income from agriculture was observed. The author indicated differences in the economic situation of the population living in rural areas and of individual incomes of the families, which suggests the need of checking the activities of the regional policy in relation to rural areas. Conclusions from the analysis are confirmed by the answers of the respondents. According to them, “very good” and “good” levels of income in rural families (over 18% in 2012) came from all sources, including social benefits. Declining share of expenditures reflects positive trends in Polish rural areas after EU accession as well as possibilities of further structural and social changes in rural areas.

Agriculture, forestry and fishing have been still a very important part of the labour market. However, the situation is diversified across Polish subregions. The objective of the study is to investigate sectoral employment diversification in rural areas across Polish subregions (NUTS 3). In order to do it, data on the subregional employment structure provided by the Central Statistical Office of Poland was used for computation of spatial autocorrelation described by Moran’s statistics. Results of this analysis display for example a cluster of subregions in south-east Poland, where employment in agriculture, forestry and fishing is a significant trend of predominantly rural subregions.

The goal of the article was to present the differences in the use of rural development plans implemented in Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia in the period 2007-2013. The research was conducted using mainly descriptive and comparative methods on the basis of statistical data published in local databank by Polish Central Statistical Office and data gathered by Agricultural Paying Agencies and Ministries of Agriculture. In the first part the main indicators comparing agriculture and rural development plans in analyzed countries and the main strategic objectives within 4 priority axes of implemented rural development plans were presented. Than the varied structure of use of RDPs in analyzed countries was presented with detailed spending characteristics under all measures. In general the structure of RDPs use was similar to the average in all EU-27 countries with a higher share of axis 1 in Poland than in other countries. In two countries (Czech Rep. and Slovakia) the highest amount of funds was spent on modernisation of agricultural holdings, while in Poland the highest amount was spent on structural pensions supporting early retirement of farmers. Three measures of high share in all three countries were: agri-environment payments (in Czechia 1/3 of all funds), natural handicap payments (31 % of all expenditures in Slovakia) and modernisation of agricultural holdings.
