The article takes up the issue of social role fulfilled by village leaders in rural communities in the vicinity of Wroclaw which are under the strong influence of the process of suburbanization. First of all, social and demographic profiles of village leaders were analyzed, especially the fact whether they belonged to the group of newcomers or the group of 'old' inhabitants. It was also important to determine the categories of motives for taking up the role of leaders and their most important achievements to-date. The main focus of the research was on the issue of social disintegration of suburban communities and on the question whether village leaders were aware of it and, if so, whether they tried to take any remedial measures. The reason for social disintegration is the conflict between the newcomers and the old inhabitants attributable to differences in the ways of life that are determined by dissimilar systems of values. The stimulation of social capital and active attitudes of inhabitants is recognized as the most effective remedy to this situation. The most serious obstacles are the insufficient flow of information and the dominant character of division of inhabitants into newcomers and old residents. Possible remedies can be indicated: e.g. the creation of new planes of co-operation going across the preserved division, attention focused on children as the main beneficiaries of the undertaken actions. The presented analysis is based on the data collected during interviews with village leaders in rural communities in the suburban areas of Wroclaw.

For several reasons, spatial reorganization of economic activity has become a centre of attention in Hungary in recent years. This greater interest is understandable, as this intensive process influences the situation of significant socioeconomic groups. Changes in the spatiality of economic activity reshape the situation fundamentally, by changing commuter relations that have evolved over decades, influencing the scope of affected local government authorities, and drastically altering the operating conditions of firms. The author captures the spatiality and intensity of the process through a group of firms in commerce and in car repairs, using theoretical and spatial econometric methods of enterprise demography.

(Title in Polish - 'Ideal podmiejskiego zamieszkiwania. Koncepcje deweloperów a praktyki przestrzenne mieszkanców na przykladzie wybranych osiedli strefy podmiejskiej Wroclawia'). The article analyses the process by which the space of selected suburban housing estates acquires a social meaning. This process is an effect of the interaction of two forces: the developers' discourse affecting the new inhabitants and the actual spatial practice of the latter that develops in the course of their residence. The authoress has analysed the content of advertising and information material concerning new suburban housing estates, and researched how the key themes of the developers' discourse are reconstructed in the everyday spatial practices of the inhabitants. The analysis shows that the social ideal of living in the suburbs differs from the vision presented by the developers' discourse and the practice of such residence depends on different social and spatial resources available in a given area.

What is the nature of suburban localities and who are their inhabitants? What is the motivation of people to move beyond the city edge? Is it a phenomenon of segregated and socially homogeneous “bedrooms” with no social connections which is emerging in the hinterland of Bratislava? When trying to answer these basic questions we often come across stereotyped perceptions therefore this paper tries to find answers by means of the Stupava case study which represents a typical suburban area. Despite the fact that suburbanization drew the attention from the expert and social perspectives, more detailed probes analysing the daily routines of inhabitants of suburbs are absent. Our paper tries to offer a deeper insight into the life of suburban inhabitants and uncover their motivations, life strategies and the character of social anchoring in their new home.

In previous decades, we could see significant growth of population in suburban areas in the Czech Republic, which was connected with significant environmental, social, and economic costs. As the rapid suburbanisation continues, the better understanding of its determinants and estimation of their effects become necessary. In this article, we test the suitability of popular monocentric city model for analysing suburbanization processes in polycentric areas in the Czech Republic, which led to employing data for Czech districts (NUTS 4) in the period 2010 – 2019. The results show that the monocentric city model is suitable for analysing suburbanization in the Czech districts (represented by suburban land growth), as all its determinants (population size, unemployment, and commute costs) with the exception of price of building plots were found to be statistically significant and with expected signs. Moreover, the alternative operationalization of the model provided evidence on the robustness of the results and heterogeneity analysis revealed interesting differences between districts different in urbanisation level and other characteristics. The application of spatial regression revealed a statistically significant spatial spill-over effect of the unemployment.

Urban and rural environments are often perceived as different social worlds with their own economic, social and cultural relations. One of the encounters of such worlds would then be a suburbanization process that turns the countryside into the hinterland of our cities. In this paper, we will focus on changes in the political behaviour of the population in connection with this process, in which not only the physical environment of the conurbations is transformed, but also the social and cultural characteristics of the local population significantly change. Using the data from the elections to the National Council of the Slovak Republic in the years 1998 – 2016, we will mainly monitor changes in support of the urban parties, which to a certain extent reflect the changing social structure in this area. Although the paper deals with only one specific aspect of suburbanization, we believe that understanding and interpreting changes in electoral behaviour is part of the mosaic of complex social and cultural transformation of the urban hinterland.

The aim of this paper is to show the substantial and significant qualitative changes that brings globalisation to towns - to their position in the development of the society, to the structure of the settlements, to the state of the urban environment, to changes in physical and spatial structures and to the socio-spatial organization of the urban environment and urban societies. The author documents these changes using examples of the world's largest cities, the leaders of globalization. These cities are not only becoming the economic and innovation centres but also socially dual urban environments. He describes changes in their socio-spatial organization as well as the modelling of their socio-spatial situation, which is displayed in their economy, population structure, culture and life style. He also notes the particularities of the urban development in Europe, emphasizing Central Europe, where urban development has the character of dual transformation. Its effects have intensified social and economic polarisation among towns, accelerated the formation of their metropolitan regions, and strengthened sub-urbanization processes. The effects of this dual transformation include a worsening population structure and an increasing social structure differentiation in these post-socialist towns. In particular, this paper deals with changes in the settlement structure of towns, changes in their inner physical, spatial as well as socio-physical structure, the suburbanisation development process, and the cessation of population growth in towns.
