On the basis of data, collected by the Border Guards, it is not possible to determine the detailed geographical structure of vehicle traffic (passenger cars, heavy loads and coaches) crossing the Eastern boundary of Poland. The sole source
of information on the origin of the vehicles, coming to Poland, is constituted by the field studies. On the basis of such studies, carried-out at five border crossing points (with Russia, Kaliningrad district, Belarus and Ukraine) detailed analysis was performed
of the traffic of vehicles at the level of counties in Poland and districts in the countries, bordering upon Poland from the East. – (BJ)

This paper presents the results of a fitting of most frequently-applied probability distributions to a series of minimum yearly flows. Specifically, the series of minimal annual discharges derived from 119 stream gauges located throughout Poland
The paper discusses main theoretical and methodological assumptions regarding designation of ecological corridors and determination of their boundaries. It presents a review of concepts of ecological corridors prepared in Poland and draws attention

of the area of Poland. The time accessibility is measured by using the isochronic-based and distance-based accessibility measures. The multimodal potential accessibility indicator is meant to be utilized, for evaluating the possible effects of construction
and modernization of the transport network that are envisaged in the EU supported operational programs. The measure may be calculated separately for carriage of goods and passengers, the 16 voivodships (provinces of Poland) and four modes of transport (road

This article seeks to reconstruct the organisational and ownership changes that have affected Poland’s enterprises in inland and coastal shipping since 1990. On the basis of data gathered from various sources, it is possible to determine the degree
are small private shipping enterprises created as former state-owned enterprises are divided up and their vessels sold to new owners. On the other hand, the systemic transformation, plus Poland’s EU accession, created conditions underpinning the emergence
of Europe’s largest shipowners’ Odratrans, which deals with carriage via inland waterways on barges, including outside Poland. - (BJ)
