Correlation ; Human capital ; Human geography ; Large town ; Poland ; Social capital
Composite indices were used to describe spatial diversity of humans and social capital. High quality of human capital in Poland is characteristic mainly for big cities and their surroundings. The difference between eastern and western Poland, where
the quality is better, is also significant. Significantly high level of social capital is characteristic for some of big cities, prevailing part of the west of the country and in south-eastern Poland. Lower values are typical for central and north-esatern
Poland. Spatial diversity of human and social capital in Poland is clearly seen. Correlation between social and human capital is positive and relatively strong. - (BJ)

Poland and Hungary are two countries with strong connection in the past with similar experiences and historical background with a lot of similarities and differences. 1999 in Poland a great reform took place which described the administrative map
of poland. The three-level administrative structure was introduced. In Poland, the regional consciousness is relatively strong in Hungary instead of historical regions the role of the counties is significant. Joining the European Union Hungary has to come
The Polish countryside has undergone various morphological transformations throughout the history. That was resulting from unusual territorial variability of Poland and different national status of individual historic regions, which were remaining
within the structures of neighbouring states and were influenced by their culture, various economic concept and patterns of rural spatial organization. As a result of that the forms of rural settlement in different historical regions of Poland acquired
The paper presents the results of geomorphological, geological and palynological investigations carried out in the area of Szymbark and Koszarawa, Beskid Niski and Beskid Zywiecki Mts, respectively (Western Carpathians, Poland). In particular
Population ageing in Germany and Poland : a comparison of regional developments in the 1990s
Age group ; Comparative study ; Demography ; Germany ; Poland ; Population ; Population ageing ; Population growth ; Regional development ; Urbanization
The authors show common trends of ageing for Poland and Germany, important regional variations, but also some different developments. In both countries, the process of ageing was well on the way with particular rapid developments in regions
of deindustrialisation, out-migration, and population decrease. A major determinant is the sharp fertility decline after the process of ageing could especially be observed for East Germany and Poland. In both territories new suburbanization is connected

The article presents transformations in Poland's settlement network with the aid of centrographic measures in relation to the three historical periods of the Second Republic, the People's Republic of Poland and the Third Republic, whose varying
territorial extents are reflected in the national Censuses of 1931, 1950 and 2002. Centroids were found to change location in relation to the changing territorial identity of Poland, its number of towns and cities and level of urbanisation. Also very

The results of a comparison between the CORINE Land Cover 2000 database and data derived from an analysis of the General Land Use Map of Poland have been presented in the article. The Map in question was elaborated on the basis of the topographical
maps at the scale 1:000 000 in 1930'. Determination of the dimensions to and directions of land-use changes in Poland over the seventy-year period was made possible by the use of these two sorts of data. - (BJ)

An attempt was made to apply the AVISO computer software program in describing the distributions of mammals species in Poland. A database set up for this purpose contained data on the occurence of 89 such species. These data were used
in the preparation of maps presenting different thematic variants for the locations of mammals across Poland. The application of the AVISO computer program allowing for various kinds of sorting, as well as for data retrieval and grouping, resulted in the development

This study was being carried out under new conditions related mainly with integration of Poland into the EU and therefore it became a diagnosis of the then state of affairs as well as a voice in discussion about updating the Concept of Spatial
Organization of the Country. The main objective of the study is to deliver information and interpretation as to the socio-spatial diversification existing in Poland. It may be assumed that this type of information and knowledge is necessary for conscious
