The structure of geoinformatics can be understood in many ways, what can be seen from the more or the less complex schemas published in various articles. Geoinformatics creates new possibilities for the precise analysis of spatial phenomena, such as for following their dynamics or defining the associations existing between their components. The use of remote sensing data in such research, takes to another level those areas of knowledge, in which there nevertheless still is a scarcity of reliable materials. It also enables the current monitoring of those phenomena which can't be investigated and estimated in any other way, as well as the modeling of spatial (geographical) phenomena. Since 1996, many studies have been performed at the Laboratory of Remote Sensing of the Environment at the University of Warsaw, in which remote sensing data were integrated with data obtained by other means.

The paper is an attempt to critical discuss of the evolution of transport planning notion in the research literature – including the geographical one. The author presents key points of this discipline and reviews the difficulties associated with qualitative research on mobility – a field usually characterized by rational behavior prompted by external factors and economic factors. The social sciences suggest that mobility results in outcomes driven by social and psychological needs. The author suggests that geography is an important element of the interdisciplinary approach needed to analyze transport behaviors in both qualitative and quantitative terms. Finally, the author discusses space syntax theory and its applicability in research on the effects of geographic space on mobility.

The Himalayan mountain chain is orographically fragmented, both in the east-west and in the north-south directions. The latter area is characterised by a greater landscape diversity, owing to its zonality and the vertical zonation of both climate and vegetation. In term s of tectonics and orography, and taking into account the prevalent influence of the monsoon and Continental climates, the Himalayan mountain system can be divided into two parts - the external arc (southern), that is the Higher (or Great) Himalayas and the in ternal arc (northern), that is the so-called Trans-Himalayas. Similarly to the external arc of the Himalayas, the post-glacial relief in the Trans-Himalayas is marginal only. It is an area with a prevalence of denudation (nival, frost, gravitation and eolian) processes. Slopes of tectonic valleys or basins, covered with colourful surface deposits rising as high as even two thirds of their altitude, dominate the landscape. The Zanskar ridges and the Ladakh range represent a transitional zone between the Transhim alayas and Eastern Karakoram.

The article offers a survey of the reception of Ovid in the Wawrzyniec Korwin’s astronomical dissertation Cosmographia dans manuductionem in tabulas Ptolemaei (ed. 1496) by applying literary perspectives of such Ovid`s poems as Metamorphoses, Fasti, Epistulae ex Ponto, Amores and Heroides. The title Korwin’s take on Ovid hints at the actual and real potential of his heritage that is both a fixed, poetic base shared by Korwin since his study at the Cracow Academy as well as a body of references constantly being reinterpreted in response to astronomical and geographical challenges of the work of the Polish writer. The reader is given an insight into the processes shaping Korwin’s borrowings from Ovid and the importance of Cosmographia to the Polish Renaissance culture.

The aim of this study was to present the variety of educational services in small towns of Małopolskie and Podkarpackie voivodeships. Performance of educational services is determined by numerous factors, of which the key ones are: economic and social policy, rules governing the funding of education and demographic processes. Education is a public service aimed at particular citizen groups (children, youth, adults) or at the society itself. The maim methods used in study was analysis of statistic data and structural coefficient and profiles of educational services. The first part of this paper deals with the condition and structure of the system in consideration to the types of schools and number of students affected by demographic changes in the region. The second part is an analysis of educational profiles in secondary schools in small cities with relation to their local job market and the economic advancement of the regions. The paper contains a juxtaposition of barriers and opportunities for the development of educational services in the analysed towns.

The subject of the paper is the status and relationships of geography, especially human geography, with the social sciences on the background of the evolution of science from multidisciplinary to transdisciplinary. Progressive hybridization of disciplines and specialties upset the identity of geography in modern science, but geography (human geography), as she was, so it is hardly accepted as a social science among scientists. An important role is played by the traditional assignment of the entire geography to natural sciences and greater isolation of human geography in flows of knowledge within the social sciences. The article presents the specificities of the social sciences in the classification of the sciences, the impact of social sciences on past development of geography and contemporary impact of geography on spatial turn in the social sciences.

The Aral Sea crisis has gained global notoriety as a human-induced environmental disaster. This paper contextualizes this crisis within a broad geographical framework. Three interpretations of a single photographic image emblematic of the desiccation of the Aral Sea are related to general foci within the academic discipline of geography. These interpretations serve to guide a framing of the Aral Sea crisis within a geographical context. This is presented as a geographical problem, incorporating elements and processes salient to physical geography, human geography, and human-environment interaction. With ecological and societal sustainability in the immediate Aral Sea region still a pressing concern, geographers are well positioned to contribute relevant, research-driven insights.

The article presents the worldview concept and the work of the outstanding French scholar Yves Lacoste. He is a senior among the French geographers and geopoliticians, professor emeritus of the University Paris VIII. At the beginning of the paper the development of the classical French geography is presented, its methodological foundations laid by Vidal de la Blache and his successors. It was characteristic of this stream of thought in geography that it emphasised the regional perspective and the use of results of historical studies. These traditions had an important influence on the intellectual attitude and the scholarly activity of Lacoste’s, who referred very strictly to the mainstream of French regional school. Then, the paper gives an account of the political views and the life of Lacoste, as well as of his publications, associated with the issues related to geopolitics and geostrategy. This required providing a perspective on the Lacoste’s approach to geopolitics as a new, controversial scientific discipline. The definition of this discipline and of its subject scope, used by Lacoste, is provided. The attention is paid to the significant arbitrariness in application of terminology, which brought important negative consequences as to the ways of analysing political, demo-graphic, military and social phenomena and processes, taking place in the concrete geo-graphical reality. The subsequent part of the article concerns the substantive assessment of the selected works of Lacoste’s. His book, entitled Geopolitics of the Mediterranean, which was also translated to Polish, stirred up quite an interest. The content of this book is outlined and the cognitive, as well as didactic qualities of this book are assessed. Given the place of birth of Lacoste (Fez in Morocco) and his life experience, no wonder he has been fascinated all the time by the consequences of colonialism, by the Muslim world, and by the issues related to the Arab countries. For this reason his opinions on the respective questions, still producing significant consequences for the former colonies and the former colonial empires, have been widely accepted. Nowadays, along with territory, demographic and economic potential, as well as military power, water resources have become an important, even though yet underestimated, geopolitical factor. This became the motivation for Lacoste to write a book, which was also translated into Polish. The analysis, presented in this book has quite a practical meaning, since water has been becoming a true strategic resource. Side by side with numerous books, Lacoste authored also and edited two atlases. One of them is a typical geographic atlas, showing on many maps France and the entire globe, according to continents and countries. The scientific value and the cartographic qualities of this atlas are assessed in the article. In a similar manner, another atlas – the Geopolitical Atlas – is also assessed. Particular attention is paid to the methodological aspects of this atlas and to the highly interesting graphic layout. This atlas contains a set of valuable maps and cartograms, showing the origins, the course and the consequences of the military conflicts, which took place in the 20th century in various regions of the world. Lacoste was the founder and the long time editor of the journal „Hérodote” which published the papers, written by the French geopoliticians and geographers. The journal gained a high esteem both in France and abroad. The scientific value and the significance in terms of promotion of the discipline are subject to assessment in the article. The article closes with the summary on the creative work of the French scholar, with special emphasis on his role in shaping the French school of geopolitics, encompassing his collaborators and followers.

The vision of Ukraine, which was submitted in the fifth volume of French geographer Elise Reclus book Nouvelle géographie universelle: la terre et les hommes (Paris, 1880) by one of the most prominent Ukrainian thinker of the nineteenth century Mykhailo Drahomanov (1841–1895) is discussed in the article. It was the first detailed geography which was based on the idea of Ukraine as a whole territory inhabited by Ukrainian people. Whereas Drahomanov believed geography is the major driving force of history, his vision of geography of Ukraine is also the vision of Ukrainian history. Here Drahomanov defended two ideas: 1) continuity of Ukrainian tradition (cultural, historical, political) over the last thousand years; 2) till the end of XVII century Ukraine was “an integral part of the cultural Europe”. It followed the task to return Ukraine to cultural circle of nations.

The phenomenon of renaming toponyms goes back many years in Czech society. Only with the formation of the Czechoslovak Republic, however, did this formerly scientifically independent intellectual activity gain the status of national importance. The ‘origin and age’ of toponyms acquired a completely practical political importance which also had an impact on the creation of authentic legal standards and topographic overviews setting the official wording for local place names and surrounding features. As a result of suddenly gaining national political importance, a number of basic toponomy works and studies were produced during the interwar period which dealt with theoretical issues in onomastics and specific current toponomy and etymological cases to give ‘scientific’ reasons for prioritising the use of one or another local name in official practice and in official topographic lexicons.

Ancient texts refer to Nubia as Aethiopia and keep returning to it from as early as the 8th–7th centuries BC. The Iliad, the Odyssey, and a Cyclic epic, the Aithiopis, give the earliest testimony. This period marks the rise of the Napatan Kingdom in Nubia and Nubian rule in Egypt. The Greeks thereby gained awareness of the country, which was rich in gold, ivory, ebony, and iron. With the development of science and trade in the 6th century BC, interest in this area grew. After Hecataeus of Miletus, Herodotus in the 5th century BC described Aethiopia in the context of events in Egypt down to the Persian conquest. He was the first to name and describe the Aethiopian city of Meroe. The writings of Ephoros of Cyme and Hecataeus of Abdera from the 4th century BC were preserved in the texts of later authors. Pliny the Elder relays testimony from authors of the 3rd century BC, which marked the beginning of prosperous times in the Meroitic Kingdom. The heart of Nubia was visited at this time because of learning and trade, probably on the initiative of the Ptolemaic court. The itineraries of Bion of Soloi are valuable for numerous topographic details. Eratosthenes’ treatise on Aethiopia, which was used by Strabo, represents a true scientifi c work from the 3rd century BC. In the 2nd century BC, interest in the subject of Aithiopia subsides somewhat. Comprehensive texts on Aethiopia by Diodorus and Strabo round off the Hellenistic sources for this subject.Ancient texts refer to Nubia as Aethiopia and keep returning to it from as early as the 8th–7th centuries BC.

The text defines the concept of “unclosed territories”, the third category proposed by the author which completes his methodology of encoding, reading and interpreting geographical places. The author’s argument holds that physical accessibility of space does not automatically imply its openness. Further, in order to understand the visited space one must walk in the footsteps left by others. These may include a literary text, music, dance and interplay of senses. Leaving traces in physical space is an individual act tinted by “geographical expressions”. The author’s reflections draw from a variety of cultural texts and his own itineraries.

The COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2019 in Wuhan, China, adversely affected social and economic life all over the world. Many scientific studies and reports by international organisations show that particularly industrial activities have declined drastically due to the pandemic. This purpose of the study is to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the manufacturing industry in Şanlıurfa province regarding the number of investment certificates, investment value and the number of jobs created. In this context, industry data of the years prior to and after the year 2019 were obtained from the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology. These data were analysed by qualitative and quantitative methods. According to the findings of the study, there was an increase in the number of investment certificates (37.4%) and the investment value (211.9%) but a decline in the number of jobs created (3.3%) in the manufacturing industry in Şanlıurfa in 2020, compared to 2018. However, in the first half of 2021, the number of investment certificates issued was equivalent to 84.6%, the investment value 175.7%, and the number of added jobs 36.9% of 2018. Reasons such as the economic support measures taken during the pandemic, the incentives that given to the Şanlıurfa province, supplying raw materials within the provincial boundaries have a considerable place in the manufacturing sector in Şanlıurfa to be less affected by the pandemic.
