LIBURA, H.

Description :
Research concerning attitudes towards new Polish towns was undertaken in 1988. The investigations were carried out in a group of people that have a particular attitude towards space because of their profession, i.e. group of taxi-drivers. Their special image of the town is due to both to the perfect knowledge of the town resulting from their mobility and to the greatnumber of human contacts―not found in other professions―the main subject of which is the town and its spatial organization. Nowa Huta, which is now officially a district of Cracow, is treated by numerous inhabitants as a separate town.
