The paper analyses the occupation process of agricultural land with social origin and urban uses in the metropolitan area of the city of Toluca (ZMCT), and the barriers that the population and authorities have to face in order to regularize the settlements. A mixed research method was applied, which included the use of quantitative and qualitative methods, on the basis of a theoretical analysis, to build a methodological research model, which was applied to an empirical case in municipal and metropolitan areas. The analysis of the 14 municipalities that constitute ZMCT shows that the barriers for regularizing settlements in land of social origin are the result of legal/administrative inefficiencies due to the incapability of local city halls to address the collective needs of society.

The Russian Air-Space Force (VKS) retains great capabilities for both defensive and offensive operations. Despite difficulties acquiring 5th-generation stealth technology, the VKS has replaced aging Soviet jets with 4++ -generation fighters and fighter-bombers such as the Su-34 and Su-35 that will continue to provide it a powerful edge over its immediate neighbours while it develops its space policy and completes the modernization of its other services.

Inquiry based science education has been more and more popular strategy in teaching sciences in recent years. Transregional pressure put by international, standardized knowledge and skills tests (e.g. PISA) to converge curricula (Rundgren 2015) of diferent European states paradoxically helps to promote the open inquiry method which involves the student in the teaching process. Earlier research done in many countries such as Turkey, Israel, Sweden, The Czech Republic (Heinz et al. 2017), Ireland (Dunne et al. 2013) or The Netherlands (Uum van Martina et al. 2016) shows the increase of interest in IBSE both in Europe and in the world. Teaching geography in Polish primary schools follows international educational trends. This study analyses several proposals of educational activities connected with Space which support geography teaching. All of them are conducted with using open inquiry method, which is recommended in New National Curriculum of geography (Core Curriculum, 2017, Geography-classes V-VIII).

Maurice Chappaz’s work, a monumental one under many aspects, offers the scholar a rich field for reading the landscape. For Chappaz, the Valais - his birthplace represents everything: landscape and spirituality, affectivity, source of life and of writing, engagement, recognition of the sense of the divine in the human being, in space and in the future, the first and supreme sense of becoming, source of life and of writing, ‘the vine and the bread of any existence’. Sedentary or homo viator, the individual remains essentially linked to a place, to space. A relationship of mutual nourishing, of determination, even of transubstantiation is being created between the human being and space. The space is the man, it comes to life within the man who can only live in relationship with his native land, the matrix-space, equally ‘kingdom of God’ and work accomplished by men.

This study challenges some interpretative strategies comparing Leibniz’s, or even Newton’s metaphysics of space to a Cartesian one. Not only did both Newton and Leibniz explicitly oppose Cartesian metaphysics as such, but neither of them had even the slightest intention of separating space from God, although they did not agree on the exact nature of such a space-God relationship. Moreover, it was just a conceptual disagreement, since the identification of space with an attribute of God is to be found not only by Leibniz but also by Newton, as well as by his defender Samuel Clarke. Neither diverge the reasons why Leibniz no more than Clarke eventually argued for the category of modification rather than an attribute.

Arguably, urbanisation, which entails spatial, social, and temporal phenomena, is social process that describes the manner in which cities grow and societies become more complex. From this point of view, urbanisation is not a new phenomenon in Nigeria in particular, and Africa in general. The process of urbanisation in Nigeria began in the pre-colonial period and continued during colonial and post-colonial periods. However, the factors or conditions that facilitated urbanisation in each historical epoch of urbanisation in Nigeria have changed over time. This paper, therefore, interrogates the effect of colonialism on the emergence of urban spaces in Nigeria between 1900 and 1960. It argues that migration, which constituted one of the main drivers of the emergence of urban spaces in Nigeria during this period, was promoted by the introduction of the British colonial policy of administration. Of the three main trends of internal migration during colonial Nigeria, our focus in this paper is the third trend, which involves a drift from the rural areas and the lesser towns to the new urban centres of commerce and administration that developed in response to the establishment of formal colonial rule in the country. This trend of internal migration was witnessed in different parts of Nigeria such as Lagos, Ibadan, Ogbomoso, Osogbo, Benin City (all in Western Nigeria); Onitsha, Enugu, Calabar, Port Harcourt (all in Eastern Nigeria); Kano, Jos, Makurdi, Zaria, Sokoto and Kaduna (all in Northern Nigeria) between 1900 and 1960. It concludes that the physical spaces in these cities have had a fundamental significance for the host communities, migrants and for host/migrant relations. The methodological approach adopted in this paper is historical, thematic, and analytical, utilising materials from both primary and secondary sources.

This contribution shows how oral history and the concept of ‘belonging’ can be used for the analysis of spatial notions in borderlands over time. By giving examples of her research in the border region of Melilla (Spain) and Nador (Morocco), the author presents a transnational and intersectional approach and shows how spatial imaginaries can be taken into view from a historical perspective.

Głównym celem artykułu jest prezentacja autorskiej propozycji analizy kryteriów podziału przestrzeni miejskiej, uwzględniającej konsumpcyjny charakter jej użytkowania. Zawarte w nim tezy wynikają z przyjęcia założenia o konieczności zaspokajania potrzeb różnych grup użytkowników miasta jako warunku jego rozwoju. Badania oparto na wyróżnieniu czterech grup użytkowników: mieszkańców centrum, przedsiębiorców, mieszkańców suburbiów oraz turystów korzystających z miejskich produktów kultury wysokiej. Zestawione zostały propozycje podziału przestrzeni miejskiej, obliczone z wykorzystaniem autorskiej propozycji wag wyróżnionych na podstawie potrzeb i preferencji wybranych grup użytkowników oraz uśrednione dane opisujące proporcje podziału funkcjonalnego śląskich miast.

The paper presents a proposal of the analysis of the urban space partition criteria, taking into consideration the consumer-character of use that places. The thesis in the article get out of the assumption on the necessity of the satisfying the needs of city users different groups as the condition of urban development. In research were distinguished four groups of city users: centre residents, suburbs residents, businesses and tourists enjoying of high culture products in the city. The proposals of the urban space partition were taken down, based on the calculation, which has been done with the using of the weights proposed by the author. The weights were appointed by identification of the needs and preferences of distinguished city users groups. It could be describe as the theoretical model of functional partition in Silesian cities space.

Not only is the term „space” has many meanings, but also the concepts directly linked to it, and has a lot of connotations. The space is both abstract idea, a property of matter, the environment created in a certain way in the course of evolution, there is finally a product of human anthropogenic, cultural and social (Jałowiecki, Szczepański 2009: 314). This is due not so much from the lack of precision of language, how much of certain attitudes of theoretical and philosophical, sometimes even unconscious and unnamed used by various researches. This article is an attempt to present different concepts operating in the social sciences, in order to extract from them the concept of tamed space – has a lot of meanings and significances. And this is to look at the project selected under the Rural Renewal Programme in terms of transforming foreign space into tamed. So the question is how to „manage” space in the Rural Renewal Programme, which leads to create place full of values.

PL

Nie tylko termin „przestrzeń” posiada wiele znaczeń, lecz także pojęcia bezpośrednio z nim powiązane są bogate w różnorodne konotacje. Przestrzeń może być rozumiana zarówno jako abstrakcyjna idea, właściwość materii, środowisko naturalne wykształcone w określony sposób w toku ewolucji lub wreszcie jako wytwór ludzki – antropogeniczny, kulturowy i społeczny (Jałowiecki, Szczepański 2009: 314). Wynika to nie tyle z braku precyzji językowej, ile z pewnych nastawień teoretycznych i filozoficznych, czasem nawet nieuświadomionych i niezwerbalizowanych, stosowanych przez różne środowiska naukowe. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę przybliżenia różnych koncepcji przestrzeni funkcjonujących w naukach społecznych i wyodrębnienia z nich koncepcji miejsca jako „przestrzeni oswojonej” – bogatej w sensy i znaczenia. A to w celu spojrzenia na wybrany projekt zrealizowany w ramach programu Odnowa Wsi w kategoriach przemiany przestrzeni obcej w miejsce oswojone. Powstaje zatem pytanie o sposób „gospodarowania” przestrzenią w Odnowie Wsi, który prowadzi do nadania jej wartości miejsca.

The article presents the process of construction, as well as the current and future use of Earth observation systems. The analyses were preceded by the characteristics of the systems, thus organizing the reservoir of collected knowledge. The basic parameters of the systems, examples of application, as well as the requirements for systems that can be operated in the armed forces were identified. On the basis of U.S. regulations, the possibility of using Earth observation system products for government-military purposes is identified. The rest of the article describes the current use of Earth observation systems implemented for security purposes. Based on this content, the requirements for Earth observation systems intended for use by the armed forces are presented. The last part of the article deals with the development of Earth observation systems. It cites current reports indicating increased interest in the products of these systems. A determination of the directions of development was made. Anticipation of trends associated with the future construction of the systems was made, which included: the development of mini satellites, Big Data and artificial intelligence, as well as the integration of these three determinants.

In his book Fiasco Stanisław Lem is asking what human nature is, what man aspires to, how he achieves it. What is Good and Evil? Who will win in the eternal fight between these two forces? Human beings conquer the outer space, but do they manage to subdue their inner space? Accustomed to thinking about themselves as the peak of the civilization progress and the quintessence of the Universe, are men capable of accepting meekly the unpleasant truth that in this Universe they were not given any exceptional and honourable role? Lem’s answers shatter the comfortable anthropocentric ideas of mankind and its place in the world. The author speaks directly of the difficulties of liberating our consciousness from the accumulated complexes, stereotypes and prejudice, from the intolerance towards everything different, foreign and incomprehensible. He states that even when they conquer time and space, men are helpless in the face of the dark forces hidden deep inside their souls, in the face of the unavoidable fall of Earth’s civilization.

The main intention of this article is to present the role of space as one of the major factors, which constituted Russian statehood and it’s role on international scene. This phenomena, which can be understand not only in the psychical frame, had big influence on shaping the foreign and internal policy of this state. As the fundamental of this process can be seen the specific attitude to space, which characterized Russians and considered this phenomena as mighty power, which can influence the social and political occurrences. The article also tried to investigate which role in creating Russia’s position space has in current times — it develops or inhibits Russia?

Osiedle Solidarita zostało wzniesione w latach 1946-1951 jako jedno z pierwszych powojennych osiedli w Pradze. Architekci, inspirowani skandynawskimi standardami urbanistycznymi, zaprojektowali je jako eksperyment, który łączył innowacyjne strategie urbanistyczne, nowe technologie, zasady mieszkalnictwa zbiorowego z finansowaniem społecznym. W pierwotnym kształcie osiedla uwidacznia się też wpływ ideologii socjalizmu państwowego, opierającego się na centralnie planowanym systemie ekonomicznym oraz własności społecznej. W chwili swego powstania Solidarita miała być miejscem oddziałującym na mieszkańców poprzez swą formę przestrzenną oraz samowystarczalność, co miało przyczyniać się do rozwoju więzi sąsiedzkich oraz związania się mieszkańców z miejscem. Wydarzenia po 1989 roku, którym towarzyszyły procesy prywatyzacji i komercjalizacji, stały się powodem stopniowej transformacji społeczno-przestrzennych cech sąsiedztwa. Niektóre z pierwotnych elementów osiedla utraciły swoją funkcję, co wraz z postępującą indywidualizacją przyczyniło się do osłabienia wspólnotowego charakteru osiedla. W artykule oparto się na teoretycznej koncepcji przywiązania do miejsca (place attachment) oraz społecznego tworzenia miejsca (social production of space). Celem artykułu jest sprawdzenie, czy i w jaki sposób mieszkańcy Solidarity są związani z miejscem i jak owo przywiązanie do miejsca ulega re/konceptualizacji w kontekście postsocjalistycznej, społeczno-przestrzennej transformacji osiedla.

The Solidarita housing estate was built during the years 1946–1951 as one of the first post-war housing estates in Prague, former Czechoslovakia. Inspired by Scandinavian urban standards, architects designed Solidarita as an urban architectural experiment that combined innovative urban strategies, new technologies, collective approach, and cooperative financing. The socio-spatial structure of Solidarita was influenced by the ideology of socialism – the production of an egalitarian society through a centrally planned economy and collective ownership. As a result, the estate was self-sufficient and conducive to neighborly meetings, and it strengthened their relations through its form. The political transformation, commercialization, and privatization in the 1990s caused a gradual change of the socio-spatial image of the neighborhood. Some elements of the housing complex started to lose their original function and the community character of Solidarita could be jeopardized. Using the theoretical concept of place attachment and the concept of social production of place, the aim of this paper is to show how residents of the Solidarita housing estate in Prague are attached to the place of their home and neighborhood and how this attachment is reconceptualized through the post-socialist socio-spatial changes of the place.

It is often assumed (in line with social expectations) that being a business manager and/or owner implies the feeling of omnipotence. Not only do organizational leaders run businesses, but they are also qualified to do so and are well-organized to physically and mentally cope with their duties. Thus, permanent (external and internal) pressure forces key organizational actors to use self-presentation strategies that meet social expectations. Narratives of organizational leaders show that other aspects of their lives are subdued to the sphere of business activities or are even incorporated by it. One of the most dominant strategies is to present oneself as an inner-directed individual in control of one’s career (a “self-made man” or “self-made woman”). At the same time, such an attitude results in “tensions” between irreconcilable roles or activities undertaken in various spheres of life. These tensions are depicted in the paper. The author shows different types of neutralization techniques used by organizational leaders to overcome or mitigate these tensions. Eleven neutralization practices have been outlined. These techniques have been identified in the course of the nearly decade-long research into spatial and temporal dimensions of careers of managers and entrepreneurs.
