The paper describes economic relations between the Bialowieski National Park and local communities, including economic entities and self-governments of the adjacent communes. It presents economic functions that the Park fulfils in its environment, namely those of an employer, a contracting party, an investor/buyer of services and an owner of real estate. The paper also analyses the Park's economic relations with local economic entities from the tourist, timber and agricultural sectors, and with communes of the Hajnowski district (poviat). Much attention is given in the paper to the question of organisation of access of tourists to the Park's facilities as one of its statutory tasks and, at the same time, the main source of income of the Park's Auxiliary Estate. This, practically, is the only type of economic activity carried out within the boundaries of the Bialowieski National Park. The article constitutes an important statement in the discussion on the enlargement of the Park and on the economic and social determinants of this process.

The paper presents development problems encountered by rural self-governments and economic entities in connection with their operation in the areas covered by the European ecological network Nature 2000. In the subjective opinion of the surveyed representatives of rural communities this network creates serious barriers to development. Such negative perception of Nature 2000 can be blamed largely on the insufficient knowledge of actual investment restrictions, which can be attributed to the lack of necessary information, and on the disregard for the opinion of local governments in the process of selection of such areas. However, the attractive features of the local natural environment are often regarded by the inhabitants of rural areas as factors essential for the stimulation of economic activity and for development.

(Title in Polish - 'Metodologia i organizacja badania spoleczno-gospodarczych uwarunkowan zrównowazonego rozwoju obszarów wiejskich objetych siecia Natura 2000 na terenie Zielonych Pluc Polski'). The paper describes the research methodology used during the implementation of the National Research and Development Centre's (NCBiR) project called 'Social-economic determinants of sustainable development of rural areas covered by the Natura 2000 network on the territory of the Green Lungs of Poland region' which led to work on articles published in this issue of the 'Wies i Rolnictwo' quarterly that deal with broadly perceived relations: economy-society-environment. The author of the paper presents the research purposes and the cognitive and spatial scope of analyses. He examines the consecutive stages of research and describes the diversified quantitative and qualitative methods and techniques applied at every stage of investigations. He also discusses some organisational aspects of the research process.

The paper describes the relations between the protection and agricultural activities pursued on the territory of the Biebrzanski National Park. The strength and character of agriculture's impact on the environment are particularly important in the areas of great natural value that are sensitive to man's interference. The author discusses the positive influence exerted on the natural environment by extensive agriculture supported by the agricultural policy of the European Union through agricultural-environmental programmes which ensure minimal interference in the natural processes and which are conducive to the preservation of environmental equilibrium. The value of this type of agricultural activity consists chiefly of the preservation of the qualities of an agricultural landscape and biological diversity of species and habitats, which is extremely important in the case of areas covered by the European Ecological Network 'Natura 2000'.

As an EU Member State, Poland agreed to designate sites of the Natura 2000 on its territory. At present, Natura 2000 covers approx. 1/5 of the territory of country and is part of the European Ecological Network Natura 2000 (N2000). In the process of marking out the boundaries of the sites, not enough time has been devoted to disseminating information about N2000 and consulting local authorities; Thus, it should not come as a surprise that many citizens consider the network an impediment to economic growth of rural areas within N2000 sites. This paper constitutes an element in the ongoing discussion of academic circles and local self-governments on the real and potential complications and limitations to the development of rural areas caused by the Natura 2000. The attempt to systematize the problems stemming from the activities of businessmen, farmers, commune authorities, and other citizens on sites within the Natura 2000 network, should be extremely useful in the early phase of managing the N2000 sites, particularly in the planning of conservation tasks, which will determine local conditions for business over the next 10 years. The results of the study and its conclusions should help successfully implement the idea of sustainable development of rural areas within EEN N2000, in the name of a necessary compromise between the economic needs of local communities and the requirements of environmental conservation. The aim of the paper is to increase the knowledge of socioeconomic processes that occur in rural communes covered by the Natura 2000 network and of actions that ought to be taken to prevent self-governments from treating this form of protection as yet another fairly troublesome duty and costly task.
