Although the European Union has no formal authority in the area of spatial policy, in sectoral policies can have a clear spatial impact. In this sense it conducts a de facto - and usually uncoordinated - form of spatial policy. An informal policy document produced six years ago sought to remedy this by offering an embryonic form of European spatial policy: the European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP). So far, no follow-up has been produced. Is this because the current document is sufficient for addressing Europe's spatial issues or because interest in this endeavor has waned? Or are we simply in a period of transition towards a new ESDP? This brief review deals with those dilemmas, from a specific point of view of the observers, both curious and worried.

Цель статьи - аргументировать тенденции и возможные направления развития придорожного сервиса как элемента проводимой в России политики пространственного развития, а также факторы, влияющие на его размещение. Проанализированы основные аспекты современного состояния придорожного сервиса как части сферы услуг, а также особенности территориальной организации придорожного сервиса. Аргументировано, что он находится на стыке таких важных и взаимосвязанных видов деятельности как транспорт, торговля, туризм, бытовое и техническое обслуживание, общественное питание. Новизной проведенного исследования можно считать обобщение опыта развития придорожного сектора в России и зарубежных странах, позволившее выявить основные факторы, оказывающие влияние на уровень его развития, а также принципы, которыми необходимо руководствоваться при его размещении. В статье представлены обоснованные показатели, позволяющие оценить существующий и возможный потенциал развития придорожного сервиса на конкретной территории. The purpose of the article is to analyze the trends and possible directions for the development of roadside service as an element of Russia's spatial development policy, as well as factors affecting its placement. The authors investigate the main aspects of the modern state of the roadside service as part of the service sector, as well as the features of the territorial organization of the roadside service. It is argued that it is at the junction of such important and interconnected activities as transport, trade, tourism, household and technical services, public food. The novelty of the study can be considered a generalization of the experience of the development of the roadside sector in Russia and foreign countries, which made it possible to identify the main factors that affect its level of development, as well as the principles that should be guided when placing it. The article presents reasonable indicators that allow you to assess the existing and possible potential for the development of roadside service in a specific territory.

<p>In view of growing threats in this respect, the protection of natural resources is undoubtedly becoming a serious challenge, both for the state and for each citizen. Therefore, this article is supposed to draw attention to the problem of searching for optimal instruments for the protection of these resources. This is about creating and developing appropriate standards in legal regulations regarding environmental protection, protection of nature, water, air, national and landscape parks, nature monuments, etc. as well as protection of natural resources in cities and human settlements. Undoubtedly, spatial planning is of paramount significance in this matter, in particular local spatial development plans and the appropriate instruments of action resulting from them. Their significance should be considered particularly important because they are generally applicable law as acts of local law.</p>

Abstract Regeneration of degraded areas takes an important position in the Polish development policy. It is included in the legal framework resulting from the Regeneration Act and the Physical Planning and Spatial Development Act. It constitutes a significant element in the programming of socio-economic and spatial development. This is largely thanks to the EU funds which are the basis for financing the projects and programmes for regeneration. In the country’s development policy a complex approach to regeneration is promoted, manifested by the concentration of activities in the most neglected areas, integrated activities carried out with a broad social participation which will be continuously monitored and evaluated on this basis. The Polish model of regeneration, formulated in such a way, gives hope for the elimination of critical situations in cities and communes.

Abstract This publication describes a mechanism for shaping the policy of spatial development, the final outputs of which are local land development plans determining the spatial distribution of objects of different environmental and economic functions. Land development plans guarantee a spatial order, which means not only aesthetic qualities, utility, logic, and clarity of spatial structure, but also high usability and effectiveness harmonized with nature, both nationally and locally. Working out such a plan is determined by drawing up many other planning documents. This results from the fact that spatial development should be integrated and comprehensive not only at the local but also at the regional level. What is more, the article presented the results of spatial policy at every stage of deposit management, from a deposit documentation to a post-mining area reclamation, as well as, it discussed issues connected with inadequate protection of the deposits in the planning documents. Documented rock raw material deposits must be included in a study of conditions and directions of commune spatial development (Polish: Studium uwarunkowañ i kierunków zagospodarowania przestrzennego gmin) and in a local land development plan (Miejscowy plan zagospodarowania przestrzennego), and also in voivodeship area development plans. Admittedly, this mention does not protect the deposit from being used for non-mining purposes; still, lack of it might result in failure to obtain the concession for mining of deposits, which is not possible without exclusion of land from the previous use. As for the last phase of mining activity – that is, area reclamation after mining of mineral deposits – such ans area must undergo reclamation and be prepared for development in a way that enables it to function in accordance with the study of conditions and directions of commune spatial development and in the land development plan of the particular commune. This means the necessity of amendments to these documents unless they have already defined target functions of deposit area.
