“…This means that it is much easier to install such systems in new buildings, for instance in single-family houses. A pattern can be observed that in places where the number of new residential buildings is systematically growing (mainly in the suburban areas of large cities (Biegańska, Szymańska, 2013), the number of investments in solar technology projects, mainly solar collectors but increasingly often also photovoltaic systems, is rising too.…”

Small-scale renewable energy systems in the context of the development of distributed generation, are discussed for the case of Poland. A distributed energy system is efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly, and is one of the most recent trends in the development of the energy sector in Poland. One of the important dimensions of this process is the creation of micro-and small-power producers based on renewable, locally-available energy sources. It is clear that the development of small-scale renewable energy producers takes place in two ways. One of these is through small hydropower plants, which are the aftermath of hydropower development in areas traditionally associated with water use for energy purposes (northern and western Poland). The second is through other renewable energy sources, mainly biogas and solar energy and located primarily in southern Poland, in highly urbanized areas (e.g. Śląskie Voivodship). In conclusion, the development of small-scale renewable energy systems in Poland is regarded as a good option with respect to sustainable development. Shrnutí Malo-měřítkové systémy obnovitelné energie v rozvoji rozptýlené výroby v PolskuČlánek pojednává o malo-měřítkových systémech obnovitelné energie v kontextu rozvoje rozptýlené výroby v Polsku. Systém rozptýlené produkce je efektivní, spolehlivý a šetrný k životnímu prostředí a je jedním z nejnovějších trendů rozvoje energetického sektoru v Polsku. Jednou z důležitých dimenzí tohoto procesu je vznik mikro a malovýrobců na bázi obnovitelných, lokálně dostupných zdrojů. Malo-měřítková produkce obnovitelné energie se rozvíjí dvěma směry. První je prostřednictvím malých vodních elektráren, které jsou pokračovatelem rozvoje vodní energie v oblastech tradičně spojených s využíváním vody pro energetické účely (severní a západní Polsko). Druhý je prostřednictvím dalších obnovitelných zdrojů, zejména bioplynu a sluneční energie, převážně ve vysoce urbanizovaných oblastech jižního Polska (Slezské vojvodství). Z článku vyplývá, že malo-měřítkové systémy výroby obnovitelné energie jsou vhodnou volbou z hlediska trvale udržitelného rozvoje.

“…The second factor was the systematic increase in rural populations. This was partly due to natural growth but also to increased migration from urban to rural areas [21]. As a result, the share of rural population in the total population of Poland increased from around 38% in 1989 to 39.9% (15.3 million people) in 2017.…”

Water and Sewage Management Issues in Rural Poland

Water and sewage management in Poland has systematically been transformed in terms of quality and quantity since the 1990s. Currently, the most important problem in this matter is posed by areas where buildings are spread out across rural areas. The present work aims to analyse the process of changes and the current state of water and sewage management in rural areas of Poland. The author intended to present the issues in their broader context, paying attention to local specificity as well as natural and economic conditions. The analysis led to the conclusion that there have been significant positive changes in water and sewage infrastructure in rural Poland. A several-fold increase in the length of sewage and water supply networks and number of sewage treatment plants was identified. There has been an increase in the use of water and treated sewage, while raw sewage has been minimised. Tap-water quality and wastewater treatment standards have improved. At the same time, areas requiring further improvement—primarily wastewater management—were indicated. It was identified that having only 42% of the rural population connected to a collective sewerage system is unsatisfactory. All the more so, in light of the fact that more than twice as many consumers are connected to the water supply network (85%). The major ecological threat that closed-system septic sewage tanks pose is highlighted. It is pointed out that they are mainly being replaced by household wastewater treatment systems with ineffective filtering drainage. Furthermore, recommendations were also made for the future development of selected aspects of water and sewage management, including the legal and the political.

“…In the years preceding 2015 election, in the majority of Polish cities with populations above 100,000, one could observe a population decline, mainly driven by great number of city dwellers moving to the neighboring small towns and rural areas (Biegańska and Szymańska, 2013), which possibly implied some spatial autoregression pattern driven by an increasing population of commuters.…”

Anti-liberal, anti-establishment or constituency-driven? Spatial econometric analysis of polish parliamentary election results in 2015

We investigated the spatial variation patterns of voting results in Polish parliamentary election in 2015 across 380 regions. That election was a milestone event in Polish politics that substantially affected Poland’s internal and foreign policy directions and promoted two emerging political parties as runners-up against the well-established ones. While socio-economic, cultural and geographical factors such as economic activity, historical legacies (post-Russian East vs post-German West) and economic dichotomies (cities vs the countryside) explain most variations for most parties, they do not appeared to fit as determinants of the new parties’ support, especially of right-wing populists. Demographic target groups of individual parties appear to be relatively unresponsive to their pre-election offerings. The spatial specification of econometric models considerably improves their statistical properties. We also examined mixed-W models to account for the unobservable spatial effects stemming from the construction of constituencies. Their distinctive sets of candidates added significantly to the explanation of the spatial variation in voting.
