The aim of this paper is to present and discuss interesting and inspiring game-design techniques employed in selected games with a purpose. We are interested here in a particular domain of these games’ application – namely science. We consider how particular techniques (like implementing Free2Play mechanics) might influence players’ engagement.

Celem niniejszej pracy jest przedstawienie oraz omówienie interesujących technik projektowania gier, które wykorzystane zostały w grach skierowanych na cel. Omawiane przez nas produkcje zostaną ograniczone do tych używanych w badaniach naukowych. Szczególnie ciekawą kwestię stanowi dla nas wpływ poszczególnych technik (np. implementacji mechanik modelu Free2Play) na zaangażowanie graczy.

The paper presents a review of contributions to the scientific discussion on modern methods and tools for public participation in urban planning. This discussion took place in Obrzycko near Poznań, Poland. The meeting was designed to allow for an ample discussion on the themes of public participatory geographic information systems, participatory geographic information systems, volunteered geographic information, citizen science, Geoweb, geographical information and communication technology, Geo-Citizen participation, geo-questionnaire, geo-discussion, GeoParticipation, Geodesign, Big Data and urban planning. Participants in the discussion were scholars from Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the USA. A review of public participation in urban planning shows new developments in concepts and methods rooted in geography, landscape architecture, psychology, and sociology, accompanied by progress in geoinformation and communication technologies. The discussions emphasized that it is extremely important to state the conditions of symmetric cooperation between city authorities, urban planners and public participation representatives, social organizations, as well as residents.

From the beginning of metal-detector based archaeology practiced by members of the public, the formal heritage sector in Denmark determined to pursue a liberal model based on cooperation and inclusion rather than confrontation and criminalization. Based on the findings of the ‘2015 Danish detectorists survey’ it is argued that Danish metal-detector archaeology has challenged the classic division of roles in archaeology and heritage management, and that at least a large proportion of Danish detectorists practice their hobby adhering to the highest professional standards, which stand in sharp contrast to the often-cited stereotype of the detectorists as mere ‘treasure hunter’.

 In recent years, the majority of studies on new technology-related phenomena have focused either on proving the benefits of innovative solutions or on criticizing social costs. The path chosen in the reviewed book Collaborative Society by Dariusz Jemielniak and Aleksandra Przegalinska is to capture a wider cultural shift that is taking place because ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools allow people to take advantage of their willingness to cooperate. The key thesis is that the collaborative society goes far beyond the sharing economy – or economy in general. New means of digital communication, remix culture and citizen science prove that this shift is transforming social relations and our mutual relations. The authors search for the manifestations of a collaborative society in joint online production and consumption, cooperation of social activists and hacktivism, social production of knowledge, gadgets encouraging cooperation and subversive connection in digital spaces. The future of cooperation is a story about the tension between the new, communal mode of production and its distortion by capitalism. The book is a good summary of the research area and an introduction for anyone looking to explore this topic or participate in a collaborative society.

When it comes to investigating minor place names, there is a broad range of methods available, reflect- ing the heterogeneous nature of this class of proper names. Probably the most suitable approach is to examine microtoponyms from the angle of an individual settlement within its boundaries, since it is home to a specific communication community. Seen from this perspective, it becomes appar- ent that instead of merely a set of individual names, microtoponyms represent a tangle of relations between these names as well as of concepts and analogies, etc. To obtain an extensive picture of this tangle, as many sources as possible need to be considered. When presenting minor place names as part of Sorbian cultural heritage, a specific situation applies: the high number of different regional and local collections. Many of them have been published: some cover large parts of Lusatia, while others are confined to individual settlements; some of them are ono - mastic studies with extensive analyses, others are merely uncommented lists of names. Furthermore, there are several handwritten collections in the archives comprising thousands of names. Substantial parts of the study areas overlap. Although one might expect the same names to be found in these different collections, there are in fact remarkable divergencies, as demonstrated here by an example. All in all, Lusatia offers diverse material for research on minor place names. Moreover, the fact that many people are still interested in these names presents a good opportunity for citizen science, which could and should play an important role in future research.

Für die Untersuchung von Flurnamen steht ein breites Spektrum von Methoden zur Verfügung, das dem heterogenen Charakter dieser Namenklasse entspricht. Besonders gewinnbringend erscheint die Betrachtung von Flurnamen aus der Perspektive der einzelnen Siedlung bzw. Gemarkung, die einer spezifischen Kommunikationsgemeinschaft entspricht. Unter dieser Perspektive wird erkennbar, dass es sich nicht nur um eine Summe einzelner Namen handelt, sondern um ein Knäuel von Beziehungen zwischen diesen Namen, von Konzepten, Analogien usw. Um hiervon ein umfassendes Bild zu bekommen, ist es notwendig, ein Maximum an Quellen zu berücksichtigen. Im Kontext der Präsentation von Namen als Teil des sorbischen kulturellen Erbes besteht eine spezifische Situation: Es existiert eine größere Anzahl von verschiedenen regionalen und lokalen Sammlungen. Viele von ihnen wurden publiziert, decken größere Teile der Lausitz ab oder nur einzelne Siedlungen. Teilweise handelt es sich um namenkundliche Studien mit einer umfassenden Analyse, teilweise nur um unkommentierte Namenlisten. Außerdem gibt es verschiedene in Archiven aufbewahrte handschriftliche Sammlungen mit tausenden von Namen. Größere Teile der Untersuchungsgebiete überlappen sich gegenseitig. Man würde hierbei erwarten, dass in den verschiedenen Sammlungen dieselben Namen zu finden wären. Tatsächlich jedoch zeigen sich erhebliche Divergenzen, was an einem Beispiel demonstriert wird. Insgesamt liegt in der Lausitz reiches und diverses Material für die Flurnamenforschung vor. Zudem sind bis heute sind viele Menschen an diesen Namen interessiert, so dass gute Voraussetzungen für citizen science gegeben sind, die eine wichtige Rolle bei zukünftigen Forschungen spielen kann und sollte.

The article describes the Czech section of the crowdsourced audio dictionary available on the website forvo.com (2008–2021), which is remarkable for several reasons: for its scope, reach, linguistic diversity, and the very unique variability of pronunciation recorded. We compare the website with some other open multilingual databases of audio recordings and touch on the dichotomous relationship between the intended concept of the website and its actual form. We also briefly characterize the list of Czech entries and summarize the advantages and weaknesses of the available data for scientific purposes. Finally, we consider the typical user of the website, either a provider of audio data (speaker), whose speech behaviour is obviously influenced by the specific speech situation during the recording, or a non-native lay recipient (listener), who is fully dependent on the confidence in the representativeness of the specific pronunciation variants. Finally, we define the notion of representativeness, which will later, in our further study, serve as an evaluation framework for the phonetic analysis of the recordings.
