  • Population-related problem areas are among the most important types of such problem areas in Poland, requiring a greater interest from scientists and practitioners than has so far been the case. It is possible to propose their division

  • Taking Southeast Asia as an example, the A. explores how areas are imagined and how area knowledge is structured to construct area heartlands as well as area borderlands. This is illustrated by considering a large region of Asia named Zomia
  • . As Zomia was quartered and rendered peripheral by the emergence of strong communities of area, the production of knowledge about it slowed down.
