Geo-Questionnaire for Environmental Planning: The Case of Ecosystem Services Delivered by Trees in Poland

Studies on society and the environment interface are often based on simple questionnaires that do not allow for an in-depth analysis. Research conducted with geo-questionnaires is an increasingly common method. However, even if data collected via a geo-questionnaire are available, the shared databases provide limited information due to personal data protection. In the article, we present open databases that overcome those limitations. They are the result of the iTre-es project concerning public opinion on the benefits provided by trees and shrubs in four different research areas. The databases provide information on the location of trees that are valuable to the residents, the distances from the respondents’ residence place, their attitude toward tree removal, socio-demographic variables, attachment to the place of life, and environmental attitudes. The presentation of all these aspects was possible thanks to the appropriate aggregation of the results. A method to anonymize the respondents is presented. We discuss the collected data and their possible areas of application.

The article reflects the results of processing of bibliographic data presented in the Scopus database, filtered using the following keywords: ‘Internet of Things’ and ‘Business’. The main purpose of the study is to analyze scientific publications, review their structure and their dynamics using the data visualizing tool VOSviewer. This bibliographic analysis aims to simplify the understanding of the processed material through visualization. In total, the data of 6108 scientific publications were analyzed during the study. The period of active increase in publishing activity is the period from 2010 to 2019, with a significant increase in the total number of works every year. After facing difficulties in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, publication activity declined for the first time in 2020, but the indicators of the beginning of 2021 predict a resumption of the course to increase the number of works in this area. Experts from 112 countries are working on research on this topic, but despite the quantitative indicators of published materials, the leading countries are America, China and the United Kingdom. The result of keyword analysis was the opportunity to identify the main trends in research, namely: cloud computing, information management, network security, Industry 4.0 and more. The article generates a model for visually displaying the significance of keywords and their relationship to each other. The analysis resulted in the construction of a cluster model and the identification of six main areas of research on the Internet of Things technology. It is established that most scientific works on this topic are devoted to the following topics: application of technologies in production and management; research of communication and energy efficiency problems; working on the Internet; using cloud technologies and working with data sets; solving security and personal data protection issues; Smart technologies (smart homes and devices). Thanks to practical data visualization tools, it is possible not only to monitor trend areas but also to find problematic and most unexplored research areas.

The Law

Abstract In the review below the author presents a general overview of the selected contemporary legal issues related to the present growth of the aviation industry and the development of aviation technologies. The review is focused on the questions at the intersection of aviation law and personal data protection law. Massive processing of passenger data (Passenger Name Record, PNR) in IT systems is a daily activity for the contemporary aviation industry. Simultaneously, since the mid- 1990s we can observe the rapid growth of personal data protection law as a very new branch of the law. The importance of this new branch of the law for the aviation industry is however still questionable and unclear. This article includes the summary of the author’s own research conducted between 2011 and 2017, in particular his audits in LOT Polish Airlines (June 2011-April 2013) and Lublin Airport (July - September 2013) and the author’s analyses of public information shared by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Association of European Airlines (AEA), Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) and (GIODO). The purpose of the author’s research was to determine the applicability of the implementation of technical and organizational measures established by personal data protection law in aviation industry entities.

The Russian Federation

The subject of this research is the problems emerging in the process of establishment and development of the Institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. Special attention is turned to the comparison of Soviet and Western models of protection of private life and personal data. The authors used interdisciplinary approach, as comprehensive and coherent understanding of socio-legal institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation is only possible in inseparable connection with examination of peculiarities of the key historical stages in legal regulation of private life of the citizen. After dissolution of the Soviet political and legal system, the primary task of Russian law consisted in development and legal formalization of the institution of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, first and foremost by means of restricting invasion of privacy by the state and enjoyment of personal freedom. It is concluded that the peculiarities of development of the new Russian political and legal model significantly impacted the formation of the institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the Russian legislator and competent government branches are not always capable to manage the entire information flow of personal data; therefore, one of the priority tasks in modern Russian society is the permanent analysis and constant monitoring of the development of information technologies.
