The 1990s saw a considerable facilitation of the concept of area-based cooperation between stakeholders from the public, economic and social sectors in the European Union (EU) with regard to local resource management. EU support programmes have given rise to community-based partnerships referred to as Local Action Groups (LAGs), in which the stakeholders involved formulate local development strategies, the implementation of which is subsequently made possible through the external financial support of EU funds. This paper illustrates an attempt to assess the extent to which local strategies are consistent with the EU's Europe 2020 strategy, using the example of 27 LAGs from two Polish provinces. Text mining and content analysis are two methods employed herein. The analysis served to establish that the dominant issues for rural areas, that are correspondent to the Europe 2020 strategy, revolve around increasing employment, educating local communities and combating poverty through the use of social inclusion methods, with much less attention dedicated to the issues of greenhouse gas emission reduction and renewable energy development. The strategies in question emphasise innovation with regard to planned activities, insofar as it is perceived at the local level, which usually bears no relation to methodical research and development (R&D) work.

“…The need to balance the development process is indisputable and concerns all aspects of development, including local development [7] and the development of urban policy [8][9][10][11]. Climate change is observed all over the world and, for this important reason at least, the awareness of taking advantage of space remains the duty of every society [12][13][14].…”

This article discusses the problem of the impact exerted by cities on the surrounding space. As an example, the Lower Silesia region was selected, characterized by agricultural, industrial and natural areas present in its close proximity. Four major cities and the surrounding municipalities (30 objects in total) were covered by the observation. The research was carried out in the period of 1995–2020 and was based on the data provided by Statistics Poland—Local Date Bank. Statistical tools were used which allowed for obtaining the results, enabling inference and the formulation of recommendations. An analytical method was applied which included the linear ordering method and synthetic development of measures. This resulted in preparing rankings of the analyzed objects (municipalities) and making the respective comparisons. The obtained results indicate that a continuously deepening imbalance in the distribution of the demographic potential is observed in the analyzed region. Although the capital city maintained the number of residents at a constant level, the population of the other analyzed cities decreased. Depopulation affected almost half of the 30 analyzed municipalities, and it is a serious problem in striving for the sustainable development of the region. The problem was exacerbated by the absence of a correlation between the demographic potential growth and the increase in the synthetic development measure value which characterized the water and sewage system. This means that the infrastructure preventing anthropopressure and providing basic services directly influencing the quality of life is developing at a different pace than the increase in the number of residents. The above indicates the need for the immediate development of a conscious settlement policy for the region of Lower Silesia. The obtained results constitute a warning addressed to those responsible for the development of spatial policy covering the cities and the surrounding areas, including rural areas.

“…En el ámbito de los estudios socioambientales, los cuales consideran de manera holística las interacciones complejas existentes entre los sistemas económicos, sociales y ambientales, insertos de manera permanente en el paradigma del desarrollo sustentable (Szewranski & Kazak, 2020), se pueden mencionar los estudios sobre vulnerabilidad socioambiental ante diferentes tipos de riesgo, en localidades o regiones específicas (Beraud et al, 2009;Oswald, 2012;Soares et al, 2014;Avilés et al, 2019), asociados con actividades económicas como el turismo y el desarrollo portuario (Padilla & Azevedo, 2019;Medina-Argueta & Palafox-Muñoz, 2020), o trabajos de carácter integral, que sirven para definir referentes conceptuales de análisis, los cuales permiten evaluar, entre otros elementos, la resiliencia, las interacciones, los estresores y umbrales de los sistemas socioambientales presentes en la costa mexicana (Ávila & Espejel, 2020).…”

This study analyzes the behavior of the degree of marginalization and social exclusion that the coastal municipalities of Mexico presented in 2020, as instruments to support the management and governance of the coastal zone. 161 coastal municipalities belonging to 17 states with opening to the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez (11), and the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea (6) are considered, which have a coastline extension of 11,122 km, with a population of approximately 20 million people. The behavior of those municipalities that presented degrees of marginalization "very high" (6) and "very low" (56), and of social exclusion "very high" (1) and "very low" (56) are analyzed in a particular way, in order to identify the possible causes that contributed to this classification. In the same way, the historical evolution (1990-2020) of the de-
