The article presents the issues related to human factor and its quality as endogenous resources conditions the rural areas developments in the context of the renewable energy production. In the light of the obtained results is concluded that young people are more creative; they are leaders in innovation implementation. The study included communes, in which energy crops has been grown (as a source for biomass production) and those where power plants based on renewable energy sources are situated. In particular human factor, as a one of the endogenous resources, was analysed. The importance of the European Union funds as a source of finance investments connected with renewable energy sector was stressed. Moreover EU funds might be source of an additional income for rural people. For instance, increased biomass production from agricultural sources (energy crops) in Poland was motivated by the economic factors, namely a desire to increase income by receive energy crops funding (in the beginning from the state budget, and later the European Union structural funds). The consequence of taking action related to renewable energy is the implementation of sustainable development objectives.

Artykuł dotyczy analizy i oceny wybranych elementów związanych z kapitałem ludzkim i jego jakością jako zasobem endogenicznym wpływającym na rozwój i aktywizację gospodarczą obszarów wiejskich w Polsce w kontekście produkcji energii odnawialnej. Badaniem objęto gminy, w których uprawiano rośliny do celów energetycznych, i gminy, w których są elektrownie bazujące na odnawialnych źródłach energii. Podkreślono znaczenie środków pochodzących z funduszy unijnych pozwalających finansować inwestycje związane z rozwojem energetyki alternatywnej. Zwrócono uwagę na zależności między rozwojem energetyki odnawialnej a absorpcją środków unijnych. Ponadto wskazano, że rozwój energii odnawialnej generuje dodatkowe dochody mieszkańców obszarów wiejskich, przez co wspomaga realizację założeń zrównoważonego rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego danych regionów i kraju.

The article refers to an analysis and an evaluation of changes in the technical infrastructure and housing in rural areas in Poland in the years 1995–2008. The article covered all rural and rural- urban (excluding urban parts) communes in Poland that altogether amount to 2,172 units (as of 2008). It was stated that in rural areas in Poland a population density increases and it is caused mainly by dynamic suburbanization processes and by a population’s movement from cities and towns towards suburban communes, in the less degree by a natural increment. In the article there were presented spatial differentiation of rural communes in: a length of the water-line and sewerage network per 100 km2; a share of water-line systems’ users and of sewerage systems’ users; a number of dwellings per 1000 population; a number of rooms per 1 person; the usable floor space of a dwelling inm2 per 1 person; a share of dwellings fitted with water-line system and a share of dwellings equipped with toilet. It was also shown that there are relationships between infrastructure’s and housing’s elements by proving positive as well as negative correlations.

Artykuł dotyczy analizy i oceny przemian w infrastrukturze technicznej i mieszkalnictwie na obszarach wiejskich w Polsce w latach 1995–2008.Wanalizie uwzględniono wszystkie gminy wiejskie i miejsko-wiejskie (wyłączając z nich części miejskie) w Polsce w łącznej liczbie 2172 jednostek (stan na rok 2008). Stwierdzono, że na terenach wiejskich wzrasta gęstość zaludnienia i spowodowana jest ona głównie dynamicznymi procesami suburbanizacji i przenoszeniem się ludności z miast do gmin podmiejskich, w mniejszym stopniu natomiast przyrostem naturalnym. Omówiono zróżnicowanie przestrzenne gmin wiejskich w zakresie: długości sieci wodociągowej i kanalizacyjnej na 100 km2; odsetka ludności korzystającej z sieci wodociągowej i kanalizacyjnej; liczby mieszkań na 1000 osób; liczby izb na 1 osobę; powierzchni użytkowej mieszkań wm2 na osobę; odsetka mieszkań wyposażonych w wodociąg sieciowy i ustęp spłukiwany.Wskazano, że istnieje zależność pomiędzy poszczególnymi elementami infrastruktury i mieszkalnictwa, stwierdzając zarówno dodatnie, jak i ujemne korelacje.

This article concerns the process of population concentration in large urban centres in China. The authors conclude that this process is reflected in the increase in the number of cities of a million or more, and the increase in their share of China’s total population, as well as in the country’s total urban population; the process is here termed ‘macropolization’. We analyse and assess the process of macropolization and examine changes in the size structures of these cities (one million or more), and the accompanying transformation in the spatial differentiation of urban population concentrations in China. In addition, the effect that macropolization has on the level of urbanization of individual provinces is shown, as is its significance in the overall share of urban population. The macropolization process from 1950 to 2015 has been assessed. The data was collected from Chinese statistical offices, United Nations reports and the available literature on the subject.

This article attempts to determine the general tendency of changes of functioning of urban regions in the new socio-economic conditions in Poland. The functional connections resulted from an intensively and relatively permanent flow of population, which functions as foundation of identification of the urban region in that study. The paper presents the results of empirical examinations of the functional urban region of Toruń conducted in 70s, 80s, and presently. On that basis explation is presented on how the transformation of the economic system with all consequences influenced on the modification of developed and relatively stable city-surroundings relations. Additionally the article is aimed at recognizing the new determinants of urban regions development in Polish conditions.

The study aims to present the structure and analyse the distribution of economic activities comprising the creative sector (covering 10 sections of PKD 2007 - the Polish Classification of Activities based on NACE rev. 2 - the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community) of the Polish economy in the context of the potential basis for the formation of creative clusters in Poland. The study concentrates on the numbers of creative firms based in all 3,076 Polish gminas (306 urban gminas, 1,576 rural gminas and 597 urban-rural gminas; in the latter, 597 urban areas and 597 rural areas are considered separately). As found, most of the firms are involved in architectural and engineering activities; technical testing and analysis (M 71) and other professional, scientific and technical activities (M 74). It has also been established that some local incubators of the potential clusters of creative industries form eight distinct centres, the most prominent of which is the Warszawa centre. The identification of areas with higher concentrations of creative firms has demonstrated that in Poland, like in western countries, creative firms tend to locate in large cities (Warszawa, Kraków, Poznań, Wrocław and Tri-City) and in the regions around them.

The paper is an attempt of an answer how belonging to different political, economical and cultural structures has influenced diverse population processes and structures and their spatial diversity. As an example to the research of these phenomena there was chosen Germany that until 1990 were two separated socio-political and economical formations (the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the Federal Republic of Germany FRG). This state, with a population number about 82 millions presently, as it turns out - besides passage of time - is characterized all the time by some diversity of procreation behaviors, population processes and structures in the Eastern (Ost) and the Western part (West) of Germany. It is claimed, the structures are going to some similarities, but the 15 years period (1990-2005) was too short to level all stated demographical differences and trends (1).

This article presents the spatial and population density changes in Polish towns in the years 1960-2003. The assumed time frame allowed identifying area changes for a complete set of towns in different socio-economic conditions: the period of intense industrialisation, the economic crisis of the 1980s, the period of economic transition and finally in the years of a market economy. The investigation revealed that the trend shown by changes and the size of a town as measured by the number of its population are distinctly interrelated. It also demonstrated a much stronger dynamics of changes in the first subperiod, i.e. years 1960--1985, followed by a phase of relative stabilization (compared with the previous period) after the year 1980 (mainly of the spatial changes). Moreover, change intensity and change trends observed for the urban areas and population densities vary considerably in terms of space.
