This study examined differences in the floor-plan preferences of architects and laypersons with no architectural education or experience (non-architects). Qualitative data on floor-plan preferences were collected using interviews and an online survey. The floor plans used in the online survey were differentiated primarily by spatial arrangements and included the original layout of a socialist prefab apartment and two contemporary redesigns of the space. The results showed significant differences in the floor-plan preferences of architects and non-architects. Topological properties of layout and a required level of privacy were identified as key factors influencing the between-group differences. Architects and non-architects disagreed in particular over how the public and private zones were defined and arranged in the apartment layouts. From the perspective of architectural practice, understanding non-architects’ preferences can decrease the uncertainty in new product development for an unknown end user and increase residential satisfaction.

In December 2013, the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council formally adopted the new regulations for the reformed Common Agricultural Policy (2014-2020). The new regulations include three obligatory greening measures: ecological focus areas, maintaining permanent grassland, and crop diversification. We assess the impact of these measures on ecosystem services using scientific and gray literature. The literature review reveals that the adopted greening measures will have mixed effects, i.e., trade-offs and synergies across ecosystems services. Provisioning services, in particular crop production, are expected to decrease when the measures are implemented. All other service categories, i.e., regulating and cultural services, will increase – or are at least will not obviously be negatively affected – once the measures are implemented. However, in terms of tradeoffs and synergies, much depends on objectives being pursued, the baseline or alternative land use underlying the comparison, and on the prevalent farming systems and farm characteristics. Including the ecosystem services concept into the design and assessment of policies would allow a systematic review of the consequences of measures also for services otherwise easily ignored.

Niniejsze opracowanie przedstawia dorobek socjologii ekonomicznej z zakresu badań nad zjawiskami cen i wartości oraz przeciwstawia go uproszczonemu podejściu przyjętemu przez ekonomię neoklasyczną. Ta ostatnia postrzega wartość przez pryzmat ceny oraz zakłada istnienie stałych preferencji zatomizowanych jednostek funkcjonujących na izolowanych rynkach. Socjologia zakłada natomiast, że ani cena, ani pieniądzb nie są rzeczywistymi miernikami wartości oraz próbuje zrozumieć formowanie się cen nie jako wyniku indywidualnych preferencji, ale jako rezultatu społecznych i politycznych czynników warunkujących funkcjonowanie rynku.

This paper reviews the research of economic sociology on the phenomena of prices and valuation and contrasts it with the simplified approach of neoclassical economy. The latter perceives value through the prism of prices and assumes fixed preferences of atomized actors acting on isolated markets. Sociology posits instead that neither money nor prices are the true measuring rod of worth and tries to understand how prices are set not as an outcome of individual preferences, but as a result of social and political factors determining the functioning of markets.
