“…It is very problematic for municipal budgets when suburbanisation takes place in a form with a low population density [41]. Suburbanisation can also cause the spatial segregation of the population [2,42] and adversely affect the collective quality of life [3]. Therefore, it is important to coordinate and plan suburban development in order to achieve smart growth [43].…”

“…Therefore, it is important to coordinate and plan suburban development in order to achieve smart growth [43]. The suburban population tends to be segregated from other residents, and to be relatively socially homogeneous without mutual social links [44], with the quality of life in the suburbs being affected by geographical conditions as well as intracommunity relations and residents' participation in public life in the municipality [3]. In many cases, families from cities move to municipalities where communities are poorer, thereby raising the socio-economic level of these communities [45].…”

“…Suburbanisation is currently one of the most significant problems, but there are other challenges for many larger cities [1]. The stimuli for movement of the population to suburban areas [2] and villages are primarily driven by efforts to improve the quality of life [3]. At present and in general terms, the suburbs are very difficult to define [4], and it is equally difficult to delimitate rural and nonrural municipalities and areas [5].…”

Impact of Suburbanisation on Sustainable Development of Settlements in Suburban Spaces: Smart and New Solutions

The aim of this article is to evaluate the impact of suburbanisation on the development of settlements with an emphasis on environmental aspects that need to be addressed in the process of extensive growth of municipalities in suburban regions. In the theoretical part, the article evaluates the processes of suburbanisation and their environmental impact. On a methodological level, municipalities in the suburban zone were first defined on the basis of driving distances. These municipalities were subjected to an analysis of the intensity of residential suburbanisation by calculating a multicriteria indicator from five selected criteria. In the second part of the analysis, a questionnaire survey of mayors was carried out in the particular municipalities. The responses were evaluated using the Likert scale method, and then statistically significant dependencies were sought among individual phenomena and environmental problems which need to be solved by the municipal management due to the growth of municipalities. It was found that the mayors consider changes in the landscape character to be among the most significant impacts of suburbanisation in the territory. A change in the rural character of municipalities because of the construction of urban-type houses is perceived as being very problematic. Another serious problem is the insufficient capacity of technical infrastructure such as sewerage and waste-water treatment. The costs of ensuring the quality of the environment and of public spaces, which are, in many cases, beyond the economic possibilities of municipalities, are also increasing significantly. The article also includes specifications of selected smart solutions and procedures that can help preserve the quality of the environment.

Suburban Morphology Dynamics: The Case of the Tricity Agglomeration, Poland

Suburbanization is a phase of the development of cities that consists in the growth of the suburban zone at the expense of the city center, which becomes gradually depopulated. The phenomenon of uncontrolled suburbanization (urban sprawl) causes infrastructural (including transport), environmental, social, economic, and legal problems. This paper presents the results of a study of the phenomenon of suburbanization conducted on the basis of vector data using two methods: one based on the use of a grid of primary square fields, and one based on the use of concentric zones/rings. The analyses were conducted in the surroundings of the Tricity agglomeration, which is located in the northern part of Poland on the Gulf of Gdansk, and covered the period from 2000 to 2018. Using a grid of primary fields, the areas of the greatest increase and decrease in the developed areas, irrespective of administrative boundaries, were determined for the selected periods, and the areas of the constant positive and negative balance of the buildings were identified. Using concentric rings, the process of the shifting of the new development zones was traced. The paper also refers to the route of the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway (PKM), which was commissioned in 2015, and its potential impact on suburbanization in the Tricity area. The results made it possible to trace the suburbanization process in time and space and to learn the advantages and disadvantages of the use of vector data in spatial studies.

“…In the suburbanisation phase of urban development, the more spacious, calmer rural areas are also at the forefront, but the rural areas often become attractive to those who have lived their entire life in a big city (Mieszkowski and Mills, 1993). However, the survival of depopulated rural settlements is often unimaginable without urban immigrants, but it can also lead to a significant transformation of the local way of life (Biolek et al, 2017). The encounter of a globally uniform urban value system and unique traditions can have specific economic and social consequences.…”

The survival of special Hungarian settlement forms (homesteads), due to the increasing urbanization phenomena, raises more and more questions. Are these forms of settlements of special, natural, landscape and cultural value? Or are the empty spaces that have lost their original function, which are relocating to the growing urban agglomerations? In our research, we sought to find out what kind of vision the Hungarian ‘farm’ could have on the 21st century Hungarian Great Plain. On the one hand, our empirical research focused on a homestead survey in the Bács-Kiskun County, where we surveyed the general condition of the farms, and on the other hand we carried out an opinion survey of the population. We have tried to compare the opinion of the urban population and the vision of the people living on the farms, to identify new functions that will fit in with the European rural development policy, financial and professional support in the future. Our results show that diversified developments can help the survival and development of homesteads.
