The problem of the Warsaw ice-dammed lake drainage through the Warsaw-Berlin Pradolina at the last ice-sheet maximum
The AA. consider the possibility of the drainage of excess water from the Warsaw ice-dammed lake through the Warsaw-Berlin Pradolina. The lake was a result of a dam formed at the maximum of the Vistulian Glaciation. First, the question
of the relation between the Warsaw-Berlin Pradolina and the Warsaw ice-dammed lake is examined on the basis of various researchers' views on the origin and age of the levels and terraces, as well as the deposits of the Warsaw Basin.

The paper summarizes the development programme on: Warsaw XXI and addresses the following issues: (a) should the current demografic stagnation of Warsaw be considered as a major development barrier?; (b) to what extent are the urban transformation
This chapter consists of three main streams in the analysis: 1) demographic development of Warsaw and its region, 2) diagnosis of the present population structure and migration, 3) scenarios of the population growth of Warsaw and its agglomeration

. In the years 1994-95 a significant rise in mortality was found for Warsaw when particularly hot weather conditions, characteristic of a subtropical air mass, occurred. A synoptic approach in this type of research has been confirmed, and consideration

Private sector of Polish economy in the post-war period : conditions of its activity and its development. Non-agricultural private sector in the region of Warsaw : spatial distribution and causes for location.
The paper examines the growth of and structural changes in the service sector in the Warsaw Agglomeration during the first years of the transformation of the Polish economy after 1989. The analysis is based mainly on employment data
smaller cities and towns in the Warsaw Agglomeration be observed, and if so what are the regional beneficiaries of this movement and why, 4) Is the expected absorbing force of Warsaw differentiated according to the types of service activities ? The paper
ends with some comments on the role of Warsaw as mapped out by politicians and urban planners and set against the results of scientific analysis. - (BJ)
Assessment of bioclimatic conditions in cities for tourism and recreational purposes (A Warsaw case study)
Applied climatology ; Bioclimatology ; Climatic index ; Human bioclimatology ; Perception ; Poland ; Recreation area ; Tourism ; Urban climate ; Warsaw
This paper offers results of an assessment of the bioclimate of the Polish capital city, Warsaw, from the point of view of tourism and recreation, using the UTCI and PET indices. Values for these indices are then compared with thermal sensation
votes cast by tourists in the course of leisure activities in Warsaw's Old Town area. This validation revealed that, while weather perception does not only depend on meteorological factors, usage of UTCI is an appropriate approach to the study
Warsaw, Prague, Budapest - metropolitan fonctions comparison

The idea of the paper refers to the comparison of functions, which determine an international position of Warsaw, Prague and Budapest. It is also an attempt to evaluate the chances of three cities to win and develop individual metropolitan functions
, which determine an international position of Warsaw, Prague and Budapest. It is also an attempt to evaluate the chances of these three cities to win and develop individual functions in the future.
The aim of the study is to present the spatial characteristics of climate differentiation and other elements of natural environment of Warsaw. Atlas consists of the 83 maps and diagrams, including 36 maps prepared by the numerical method (IDRISI
), as well as short text describing the main features of Warsaw climate. The maps demonstrate the distribution of meteorological elements and biometeorological indices and furthermore the pollution of air and soil. - (DG)

In this paper authors investigate the development processes of the suburban belt of Warsaw in the second part of the 20th century. Before the 1990s suburban development was considerably slowed down in Poland by the national planning policy
settlements could be observed in the agglomeration of Warsaw and other major Polish cities, due to intensive outmigration of the population. The spatial characteristics of suburbanisation around Warsaw are also analysed in the second part of the paper. - (ZK)
Late Vistulian and Holocene fossil soils developed from aeolian and alluvial sediments of the Warsaw Basin
horizons, what allowed to determine the age and produce a typology of soils. On the basis of soil dating, indirectly a precise determination of alluvial and aeolian processes in the Warsaw Basin was carried out. The bottom of organic substance of the oldest
among fossil soils in the Warsaw Basin was dated for 13,340 years B.P. The mineral sediments of this horizon are still older.
