There are institutes which research phenomena and processes taking place on islands. Such research is conducted nowadays among others at universities in France, United States, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and Scandinavia. Godfrey Baldacchino from the University of Prince Edward Island is a professor of Island Studies (and the editor-in-chief of the "Island Studies Journal"1). One of the actively operating commissions of the International Geographical Union is the IGU Commission on Islands. Therefore, the term "island" is commonly present in the modern reality and so strongly rooted that, as a results, its meaning very rarely raises doubts. Sometimes a group of researchers makes an attempt to reflect upon the definition of the term2. Those attempts are not followed by satisfying results, which does not encourage to further research on islands, be what they may.The following article is another attempt to ponder the nature of islandness and to point those characteristics of an island which differentiate it from other geographical objects. According to the author, the group of geographical objects treated as islands is definitely too wide, and the vast protruding lands, commonly regarded as islands, continue to be islands in the universal awareness only out of habit, or due to the lack of a better, adequate term as a result of existing terminological dichotomy between the terms island/continent.

The Act on Municipality Self‑Government introduces in Article 7 para. 2 a special category of own tasks of the municipality, namely the tasks that under the relevant provisions of substantive law are obligatory. According to the author, an analysis of the provisions of substantive law allows us to conclude that the term ‘obligatory task’ has been used explicitly by the legislature very seldom. She points out that both in the legal doctrine and in the decisions of supervisory authorities the view has been established that qualifying a particular own task of the municipality as a task of an obligatory nature (within the meaning of Article 7 para.. 2 of the Act on Municipality Self‑Government, may depend on the way in which the legal provisions are edited. The author has made an attempt to identify the most relevant legal norms which require the municipality or its bodies to carry out certain tasks, even if the content of the provisions does not directly specify them as obligatory tasks.

The expansion of the road network in Poland and in world constitutes a considerable risk for the natural environment, this article is showing the most important effects of road investments, for example: pollutants of atmospheric air, the noise and vibrations, pollutants of waters and soils, the fragmentation of the space and the decline of the landscape. Everything is leading it for destroying the environment in which we live. Describing all threats to the environment with themselves a structure and an exploitation of roads are bringing which, is practically impossible, the man in the last years very much is interfering in the nature, instead of to protect it for next generations, therefore designers and entrepreneurs should concentrate on eliminating negative effects of construction and the more late exploitation of roads and for improvement in their technical state.

The article provides an overview of the transport policy of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship since its establishment in 1999. It discusses the statutory competences of the newly formed voivodeship in the field of transport development policy and its evolution over the years, illustrated in successive regional development strategies and spatial development plans. An integral part of this policy is also the development of public transport, primarily railway transport. This is the result of the activities of two railway companies: Masovian Railways and Warsaw Commuter Railway. The article depicts the development path of the companies towards modern rail passenger transport operators, involving new and modernized rolling stock and with efficient technical facilities. The article also discusses the activity of the manager of voivodeship roads, which through numerous road repairs and reconstructions, creates a road network suitable for servicing regional road traffic. In addition, the article highlights the increasing role of bicycle transport in the spatial policy of the voivodeship. An important factor facilitating the implementation of competences in the transport sector is EU funding, which has made it possible to create modern rail and road infrastructure, as well as to purchase and modernize rolling stock.

Artykuł stanowi przekrój polityki transportowej województwa mazowieckiego prowadzonej od jego powstania w 1999 r. Omawia ustawowe kompetencje nowo powstałego województwa w zakresie polityki rozwoju transportu oraz jej ewolucję na przestrzeni lat, zobrazowaną w kolejnych strategiach rozwoju województwa oraz planach zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Elementem tej polityki jest również rozwój transportu publicznego, przede wszystkim kolejowego, co jest wynikiem działalności dwóch spółek kolejowych: Kolei Mazowieckich oraz Warszawskiej Kolei Dojazdowej. W artykule ukazano drogę rozwoju spółek w kierunku nowoczesnych operatorów pasażerskiego transportu kolejowego, z udziałem nowego i modernizowanego taboru kolejowego oraz ze sprawnym zapleczem technicznym. Omówiono również działalność zarządcy dróg wojewódzkich, który dzięki licznym remontom i przebudowom dróg, tworzy sieć dróg przystającą do obsługi regionalnego ruchu drogowego. Ponadto w artykule wskazano wzrost roli transportu rowerowego w polityce przestrzennej województwa. Ważnym czynnikiem sprzyjającym realizacji kompetencji w zakresie transportu są środki unijne, dzięki którym możliwe było stworzenie nowoczesnej infrastruktury kolejowej i drogowej oraz zakup i modernizacja taboru kolejowego.
