“…Furthermore, more in-depth analyses of the spatial distribution of green and blue areas in FUAs are necessary as the present research focuses on the quantitative approach. In addition, such analyzes can also be performed by considering land use changes in relation to appropriately constructed buffer zones in relation to, for example, the center of a given unit [ 48 , 49 ].…”

The land use mix (LUM) is among the critical issues in spatial planning because it can determine the occurrence and structure of various land use and cover types (LUC) and prevent any adverse patterns. The paper focuses on the LUM in functional urban areas (FUAs) in Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary. The research employed Urban Atlas (UA) data on LUC in 2006 and 2012 to characterise LUM in the FUAs. The research follows the division of the FUA into the urban area (urban core, UC) and its functional surroundings (commuting zones, CZ). We further characterised the phenomena investigated for the entire country, region, and Europe using Corine Land Cover (CLC) data. The LUM was quantified with the entropy index (EI), dissimilarity index (DI), and multi-dimensional balance index (MBI). The EI demonstrated that the investigated FUAs went through more substantial LUM changes than the 27 European Union member states (EU27) from 2006 to 2012. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that LUM overspill was more intensive in CZs than in UCs on the regional and national levels. We found out that urbanised areas grew at the expense of agricultural areas in both UCs and CZs with similar dynamics in 2006–2012 in all the analysed countries.

“…The other is to differentiate between quantitative forecasts and location of changes [60]. When analysing the location of LUCC in urban areas, one has to pay attention to the concentration of developments near the functional-historical core of the city, and such phenomena as urban sprawl and suburbanisation near roads leading to the city and around city limits [61][62][63]. In the case of qualitative LUCC modelling, researchers often use quantitative data on the areas of LU and LC classes within the investigated administrative regions collected by authorities.…”

Land-use and cover change (LUCC) impacts global environmental changes. Therefore, it is crucial to obtain cross-national level LUCC data that represents past and actual LUCC. As urban areas exhibit the most significant dynamics of the changes, accompanied by such processes as urban sprawl, it seems desirable to take into account LUCC information from such areas to acquire national level information. The paper analyses land-use changes (LUCs) in urban areas in Czechia, Poland, and Slovakia. The analysis is based on functional urban area (FUA) data from the European Urban Atlas project for 2006 and 2012. The area of urbanised land grew at the expense of agricultural areas, semi-natural areas, and wetlands over the investigated period in all three countries. The authors determined LUC direction models in urban areas based on the identified land-use change. The proposed LUC direction models for the investigated period and area should offer national level LUC data for such purposes as modelling of future changes or can be the point of reference for planning analyses. The paper proposes the following models: mean model, median model, weighted mean model where the weight is the urbanised to vegetated area ratio, and weighted mean model where the weight is the share of urbanised areas. According to the proposed LUC models, areas considered as urbanised grow in FUAs on average in six years by 5.5900‰ in Czechia, 7.5936‰ in Poland, and 4.0769‰ in Slovakia. Additionally, the change models facilitated determination of a LUC dynamics ratio in each country. It reached the highest values in Poland and the lowest in Slovakia.

“…the ground conditions are simple, the object was classified into the 1st geotechnical category. It should be emphasized that all decisions related to the investment process should be carefully considered, especially in the case of preparing plans related to spatial development [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and undertaking geotechnical works [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], including geodetic works [23,24] and construction works [25][26][27][28][29][30] which is confirmed by numerous scientific and research works [31].…”

The subject of this article is the evaluation of geodetic and geotechnical works with the use of an appropriate program for this type of work. On the example of a selected investment in Podkarpacie, the research analyzed the validity of conducting current geodetic and geotechnical control works. It should be emphasized that most of the technical specifications do not recommend the use of this type of control work. The paper presents exemplary test results and calculations based on the software used.
