The concept of regional geography as a science examining the relations between man and the natural environment is presented. Spatial coexistence of natural and socio-economic phenomena is a premise to search for causative relations. Their theoretic fundaments are described by the principle of factors limiting human activity, diversification as the general characteristic of the natural environment having impact on man and his activity, the principle of indirect chain links, changeability of relations in time and their interactions. Among others, correlation and regression analysis, the class differences method and tests of independence are used in research on the concordance of spatial coexistence of characteristics of the natural environment and socio-economic characteristics. The issue of the relations between man and the environment, examined on different scales, is associated with issues of the geographic region. A region may be perceived as an area characterized by a similarity of relations between the natural environment and human activity.

Our paper tries to analyse the way in which the regional identity of art historiography in Alsace came into being in the 20th century. Similarly to Transylvania, Alsace represented a highly disputed territory, being claimed by two hostile nations. We shall focus upon the regionalist point of view, which used to be overshadowed by the official nationalist discourse of the centres, Paris and Berlin. We shall examine the way in which a regional identity was invented through works of art. Regionalist art historians did no longer speak of the existence of French or German art in Alsace, but of the existence of an Alsatian art individualized within European art. We shall also emphasise the role the genius loci and regional geography played in forging this new identity.

Celem kolejnych części opracowania jest określenie najważniejszych podejść do regionu w „nowej” geografii regionalnej, ich charakterystyka oraz wskazanie głównych płaszczyzn dyskusji, a także określenie podstawowych różnic pomiędzy tradycyjnym i „nowym” ujęciem regionu. Wśród wielu wniosków płynących z przeglądu koncepcji i pojęć za najważniejszy można uznać to, że „nowa” geografia regionalna pozostawia na uboczu rozważania, ‘czym jest region?’, zadając częściej pytanie ‘jak region powstaje?’.

The article presents selected research concepts in the contemporary approaches of region in “new” regional geography. The main objective is outlining the social and cultural research concepts as some alternative in consideration of dominating analysis of spatial structure in scientific regional geography. In the first part of this study was defined the causes of the weak developing social approaches in the Polish regional geography. In the next parts of this article the author presents three concepts in regional geography (‘economic’, ‘social’, ‘cultural’). In each case were identified sources of inspirations, research problems which concentrate attention of the researches in Anglo- -Saxon circle.

Idea geografii regionalnej jako przedmiotu nauczania w okresie kryzysu geografii w szkole

Współczesna geografia jako przedmiot nauczania przeżywa aktualnie kryzys, w dobie wdrażanych już od końca lat 90. zmian w systemie oświaty. Odzwierciedla się to zanikiem geograficznego – spójnego i syntetycznego myślenia u uczniów szkół podstawowych, a także gimnazjów. Nowy przedmiot szkolny – przyroda, stała się powodem utraty pierwotnego holistycznego charakteru geografii. Obecnie, wychodząc naprzeciw teoretycznym oczekiwaniom rynku pracy, geografia stała się przedmiotem społecznie zmarginalizowanym, co odzwierciedla się w redukcji liczby godzin lekcyjnych, tworzeniu profili klas nieuwzględniających rozszerzenia „geograficznego” oraz nastawieniu uczniów i rodziców. Z obecną sytuacją geografii pogodzili się już nawet geografowie, a wystarczy przecież spojrzeć w przeszłość i przekonać się, co stanowiło siłę geografii jako przedmiotu nauczania. Wacław Nałkowski w 1907 roku stwierdził, że geografia to dziedzina, która pozwala myśleć naukowo, czuć estetycznie oraz działać praktycznie, wraz z historią urealnia nam rzeczywistość i pozwala wydobyć z niej to, co dla nas istotne. Należy więc powrócić do geografii regionalnej i jej typologicznych opisów krajobrazu propagowanych przez klasyków nowożytnej geografii.

Contemporary geography is experiencing a crisis as a school subject, in light of the changes in the education system, which are being implemented in Poland since the 1990s. This is reflected by geographic atrophy – lack of a coherent and synthetic thinking exhibited by students of primary and lower secondary schools. New school subject – natural science –caused the loss of the original holistic nature of geography. Currently, in order to meet the expectations of the labor market, geography became the subject socially marginalized, which is reflected in the reduction of teaching hours; number of “non-geography majors”; and in the attitude of pupils and parents. With this state of things even the geographers themselves have come to terms. They are the ones, however, who should look back and remind themselves of the power of geography as a subject in the past. Wacław Nałkowski wrote in 1907 that geography allows you to think scientifically, perceive aesthetically, and act practically. Along with history it constitutes the “real” in “reality” and allows us to take from it what is important to us. We should therefore return to the regional geography, to typological descriptions of landscape, promoted by the canonical authors of modern geography.
