Lake disappearance as a natural stage of evolution of lakes is an extremely important issue in the landscape and ecosystem research context. Studies of the changes that occur in the lake landscape, characteristic in the northern part of Poland, are aimed at defining the cause and forecasting the results. The possibilities of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) were used in this paper to analyse and visualise the process of lake disappearance in the Iława Lakeland Landscape Park. GIS technologies which primarily are used for gathering, storing, processing and presenting spatial data have been used to interpret changes in lakes coverage over a period of 100 years. The analysis were based on data bases and cartographic former maps such as hydrographic maps, attribute data and bathymetric plans. The data was gathered by transfer from different geoportals, next vectorised, and then preprocessed. Former maps were rectified. The lake disappearance process was presented in several forms: lake cards, animations and interactive map. Basing on the GIS analysis about lake disappearance in Iława Lakeland Landscape Park it was possible to state that lakes are disappearing in rate of 3.99 ha a−1.

This study investigates the determinants of corruption in Ukrainian regions and applies spatial analysis to examine the relationship between corruption perception index and economic, political and cul- tural factors. The results of the study show that economic growth decreases corruption in the regions. The paper also challenges the existing academic studies, as it shows positive impact of the number of civil organizations in Ukrainian regions on corruption. The impli- cations of the empirical research are, therefore, a valuable asset to the existing literature on corruption. They indicate that dealing with cor- ruption in Ukraine requires consideration of the influence of region- specific corruption determinants.

Migration has a principal influence on countries’ population changes. Thus, the issues connected with the causes, effects and directions of people’s movements are a common topic of political and academic discussions. The aim of this paper is to analyse the spatial distribution of officially registered foreign migration in Poland in 2012. GIS tools are implemented for data visualization and statistical analysis. Geographically weighted regression (GWR) is used to estimate the impact of unemployment, wages and other socioeconomic variables on the foreign emigration and immigration measure. GWR provides spatially varying estimates of model parameters that can be presented on a map, giving a useful graphical representation of spatially varying relationships.

In the economic studies models based on panel data are increasingly used. The standard panel models are composed of a cross-section character of the data in the time, but do not include the interaction associated with the location of objects in the geographic space. Spatial panel models are based on the information contained cross-section data in the time with regard to space. The paper proposes a different approach to the changes in time on the basis of spatial matrix weight. The aim of this study was to show the possibility to apply spatial weights matrix with particular consideration of time. Data for the analysis came from the database of the CSO and the ARMA in period 2004-2012. In addition to working methods of spatial statistics classical taxonomic methods were also used to obtain a distance matrix.

Analysing the cross-level interaction between individual and community well-being requires a joint involvement of both 'vertical' and 'horizontal' perspectives. While multilevel modelling separates the effects resulting from personal characteristics from those resulting from community features, the need to account for spatial variation and geographic membership proves that space and place matter, too. In this paper, the explicitly-spatial multilevel model has been developed to this effect, namely to identify both types of effects, space and place-related, using the hierarchical (nested) data structure for the smallest administrative units – NUTS5/LAU2, i.e. communes (gminas). In their analysis, the authors employed two methods for measuring well-being: (i) individual (subjective) well-being measure derived from the nation-wide Time Use Survey data, which they occasionally replaced with 'life satisfaction' type of self-reported measures, and (ii) multidimensional index of local deprivation composed of eleven domain-scales. The spatial multilevel modelling has been extended by an attempt to assess what effect spatial interaction has on cross-level relationships. Its inclusion in the discussion with which this paper concludes seems recommendable, as it indicates the need for more systematic efforts towards a spatially-integrated approach to this kind of modelling problems.

We investigated the spatial variation patterns of voting results in Polish parliamentary election in 2015 across 380 regions. That election was a milestone event in Polish politics that substantially affected Poland’s internal and foreign policy directions and promoted two emerging political parties as runners-up against the well-established ones. While socio-economic, cultural and geographical factors such as economic activity, historical legacies (post-Russian East vs post-German West) and economic dichotomies (cities vs the countryside) explain most variations for most parties, they do not appeared to fit as determinants of the new parties’ support, especially of right-wing populists. Demographic target groups of individual parties appear to be relatively unresponsive to their pre-election offerings. The spatial specification of econometric models considerably improves their statistical properties. We also examined mixed-W models to account for the unobservable spatial effects stemming from the construction of constituencies. Their distinctive sets of candidates added significantly to the explanation of the spatial variation in voting.

Research background: Through the cultural progress and socio-economic development in Poland women have obtained the same rights as men in the labour market. Nevertheless, they continuously face discrimination and the difficulty, resulting from their traditional role, in finding or maintaining employment. Purpose of the article: The main objective of this study was an analysis of female unemployment and its determinants in Poland in 2016 from the spatial perspective. The following research questions were also specified: Is female unemployment dependent on social factors (do they play the key role)? Are the factors determining the level of female unemployment spatially diversified? Is the GWR model an effective tool in analysis of female unemployment? Methods: The research applied GIS and spatial analysis methods including Geographically Weighted Regression, which enables the identification of the variability of regression coefficients in the geographical space. The analysis was carried out based on statistical data presenting the share of unemployed women in the working age population for 380 Polish districts (NUTS 4, LAU 1) in 2016. Findings & Value added: The research results showed that in the period 2003-2016 the female unemployment was getting lower, but it was still higher than men. It was also spatially diversified. Moreover, the determinants of female unemployment were diverse in the geographic space and did not have a significant impact on the variable in all spatial units. The existence of clusters of districts, characterised by similar interactions and its strength, was also confirmed. The results of this analysis proved that non-economic (social) factors largely affected the level of female unemployment in Poland in 2016. Using GWR enabled drawing detailed conclusions concerning the determinants of female unemployment in Poland, it proved to be an effective tool for the analysis of this phenomenon.

In the modern world, the subject of spatial planning is being increasingly raised by residents of municipalities - mainly because of the lack of a direct influence on the process of local development and aesthetics of the surroundings. Today, the primary objective of spatial planning is not only to form a proper connection between function and space but also to balance public and private interests. Constantly developed geographic spatial information systems allow not only for easy navigation around the city, but more importantly for more advanced analyses, such as the recognition of the current trends in estate development, communication systems, changes in agricultural and forest areas. The main objective of the research is to define functional-spatial links determined by social-economic needs reflected in local plans and to verify the similarities between local plans, that were drawn up in three different periods (PRL, the transition period, and in accordance with nowadays applicable laws), how the changing economic, social goals and current needs of the city affected the continuation of the adopted solutions. The study shows that despite changes in the law and abandoning the idea of industrial city, in which the landscape is dominated by blast furnaces and mine shafts, the basic trend has been maintained and local plans prepared in subsequent years form a continuum, and despite the different scales of development are closely linked. At the same time it has been shown that modern GIS tools enable verification of the continuity of spatial policy of the municipality.

The aim of the study was to develop a low-cost method for tourism opportunity spectrum evaluation in rural landscapes. The method uses the geographic information system (GIS) for spatial analysis of the problem. Open source materials are used in the evaluation. Three principal indices derived from spatial data are evaluated: attraction index, view index, and access index. These form the basis for tourism suitability and opportunity spectrum evaluation. The analysis is realized for two types of tourists: those using cars, and hikers. The method permits the current state of tourism to be identified, and points out possible ways for further development as well as identifying valuable but overexploited zones which should be conserved. The obtained results can improve the sustainable management of landscapes and enhance the profits of rural areas.

This article attempts to interpretation function and probable internal, spatial organization of the Late Mesolithic camps, discovered at western habitat at site Ludowice 6, Wąbrzeźno commune (central Poland). The site is located in the middle part of Chełmińskie Lakeland (Fig. 1), within a slope of a hill reaching the height of at most 100 m above the sea level. It is situated in the contact zone of sander and a large melt ice depression, presently filled with biogenic sediments (peat - Fig. 2). Excavation research was conducted here in 2009-2013. Altogether, it covered the area of 756m2. Prehistoric materials found on the examined part of the site formed three collections. According to the observations made during the excavations, as well as opinions of a soil scientist and a geomorphologist, they persisted here in the in situ contexts (Osipowicz et al. 2014). The first of the evolving concentrations (located farthest to the east) consists of remnants of Late Palaeolithic settlement, the remaining two are Mesolithic. Both Early Holocene aggregations found are relatively large (around 4 ares each). So far, precise analysis covered only artefacts originating from one of them, due to location called western habitat (Osipowicz et al. 2014). A spatial analysis of the spread of specimens found here allowed to distinguish two, partly overlapping flint scatters (numbered as 1 and 2 – Fig. 3-6). Altogether, the study of this area provided an unusually rich prehistoric material, which included, among others, 4026 flint artefacts. Technological and stylistic analyzes carried out indicate that these materials may be associated with the Komornica culture and dated for the late (Atlantic) phase of its development (Osipowicz et al. 2014). This chronology found its confirmation in the radiocarbon cross-dating of charcoal samples collected from the hearth, identified within the habitat (feature 10). Both dates provided by two different laboratories are very similar: 6540±45BP (Poz-52082) and 6660±80BP (KML-1706); they locate the described materials in the period directly preceding the occurrence of early-agricultural societies at the Chełmińskie Lakeland (Kirkowski 1994, 58). The basis for conclusions drawn in article were primarily the results of use-wear analyze, which covered all the artefacts from the habitat identified under the arable layer, i.e. specimens included in the planygraphy as well as the material from sieves, and also chosen artefacts from the arable layer (those for which there was no doubt as for their Mesolithic chronology, in practice geometrical insets and other backed forms as well as some end scrapers). Altogether, it covered 2031 flint artefacts, that is more than a half of the collection from the habitat. As a result of the conducted analysis, identified were 198 artefacts bearing use-wear traces, which were used for 209 functions (Tab. 1, Fig. 8-11). Function of the camps Flint scatter 1 may be considered as a remnant of some sort of a briefly used home structure and its backroom. Such interpretation is supported by several arguments. First, it is in agreement with the identification of a complex hearth and several other large features (Fig. 12), which may be considered as the result of activities of character going beyond temporary/occasional stay of a human group. Important is here also significant amount of bones found, and most of all the fact they originate from many animal species (Osipowicz et al. 2014), what may suggest a longer occupation of the place. Next of the arguments supporting this hypothesis is the functional structure of the collection, in which in a similar way (although in an usually small number) are represented artefacts related to processing of hide/meat and bone/antler, specimens associated with wood treatment are relatively numerous, but no significant content of projectile insets characteristic for hunting camps were found. It’s a very similar functional structure to observed in case of a collection from the flint scatter 2 in site Sąsieczno 4 (Osipowicz 2010, 238). Nevertheless described feature from Ludowice couldn’t be used for a longer time, what indicates a small amount of discovered tools. Situation is very different in the case of flint scatter 2. No fireplace was found here, no larger number of features, and no bones (Osipowicz et al. 2014), while the functional structure of the collection is generally quite similar to the one observed in case of flint scatter 1 from site Sąsieczno 4 (Osipowicz 2010, 238). Identified functional tools are mainly (omitting the group of tools for treatment of siliceous plants for the moment) artefacts related to the processing of hide and meat, projectile insets as well as functionally uncertain but maybe directly associated with gathering or hunting microscrapers (Osipowicz 2010: 239). Such structure of the tool group suggests a hunting profile of the location. Thus, we are dealing here with collections largely corresponding in terms of functional structure to chronologically close Early Holocene collections from the site Sąsieczno 4. Interesting is also the occurrence here of the homestead-hunting camp arrangement observed in Sąsieczno. However, it is not possible to confirm its homogeneity, what precludes any far-reaching reasoning, going spatially beyond the area of a single flint scatter. Here the analogies between the two sites end. In materials from both concentrations found in the western habitation in Ludowice very strongly represented is also a functional group essentially absent in Sąsieczno, i.e. tools used for processing of siliceous plants. Artefacts included in it dominate both the studied collections and occurred in many types, what allows to claim that they probably evidence the basic activity of Mesolithic hunters in Ludowice. The results of hitherto analyzes indicate that curved knives constituting this group were most probably used in splitting and combing of plant fibers (Vaughan, Bocquet 1987: 402; Juel Jensen 1994: 67; van Gijn 2010: 66, Osipowicz 2010: 96). However, so far one did not succeed to identify with certainty the species which could be treated with the help of these tools. It is believed that these were perhaps plants useful for instance in making ropes or cloth production (Juel Jensen 1994: 63). Perhaps the discovery of a large number of these artefacts in Ludowice is a resultant of production exceeding the needs of single group. The existence of specialized workshops in the Mesolithic is suggested by findings from the site 7 in Krzyż Wielkopolski (Kabaciński et al. 2008). Localization of camp in Ludowice might be in such case determined by the consumption of resources provided by a peat bog located here in the Late Mesolithic, but most of all flora of ecological zone associated with it. Perhaps the availability of certain siliceous plant species, determined by the moment and length of their growth season fixed the time and duration of stay of Mesolithic people at the discussed site (occasional camp? – Galiński 2011: 90). This question however, has to remain unanswered, at least until an unambiguous interpretation of bent knives’ function is known. Internal organisation of the camps The methodology applied during excavations in Ludowice, especially the way of collecting and cataloguing of flint materials, together with a very good state of site preservation, allowed to carry out a precise spatial analysis and shed light on possible internal organization of the camp. Observation that comes to mind even after only a superficial analysis of various sources’ distribution in the settlement is the fact that both distinguished main flint scatter (1 and 2) do not form ensembles, where functional artefacts are spread evenly (Fig. 12). In both cases, they are concentrated in specific (southern) regions of flint scatter, occupying an area of approximately 5m2. At the same time, these were places with the highest concentration of flint artefacts, beyond which there were no significant signs of functional tools or any other relevant source categories. Therefore, these sites comprise the zone of economic activity (EA zone) of Mesolithic groups and, interestingly, in both concentrations cover less than a half of area where flint artefacts forming the flint scatter. The second important observation is the presence of large features in the centre of both EA zones, around which the economic activity of human groups was probably centred. In flint scatter 1 it is a hearth (feature 10) while in flint scatter 2 it is feature 2, relatively rich in prehistoric material (Osipowicz et al. 2014). The area around these features can be analysed in terms of zonality of tools (observable to some extent) related to the processing of particular types of raw materials and other artefacts which express human economic activity within a particular EA zone (Fig. 12). And so, feature 10 in flint scatter 1 constituted not only the central area of flint processing, but also of treatment of other stone materials. On its western side, works related to the processing of siliceous plants were performed, while on east and south sides most of works in wood were carried out. Bones were abundant within the whole area, and are most likely the remains of meals prepared on the hearth. Organization of the EA zone of flint scatter 2 is slightly different. Stone raw material was processed on the west side of centrally located pit (feature 2). The eastern and southern part of the zone was the site of siliceous plants’ processing. However, there was also a narrow area in this zone related to treatment of hide and meat (Fig. 12). Moreover, several microscrapers and flint projectile points were present in a scattered manner in flint scatter 2, which is probably the result of a functional profile different from that observed in concentration 1. Both Mesolithic sites are characterized by a rather large analogy in terms of the overall functional structure, and particularly the organization of internal space of settlements. However, until the larger number of collections is investigated and observations made here are confirmed, no far-reaching conclusions concerning presented issues can be drawn.

Conducting integrated measures within the framework of sustainable development requires an objective identification of the needs for their implementation based on the results of multifaceted analyses of many complex, interrelated factors reflecting the state of the natural environment and the economic and demographic situation. The increasing functionality of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has made GIS databases a tool supporting the implementation of sustainable development activities. The aim of the study was to recognise the spatial variability of the level of environmental governance in the south-west region of Poland. Methods of research on multidimensional data mining techniques and geo-spatial analyses were applied, resulting in a theoretical model describing the regularities in the relationships between the analysed indicators of environmental governance. The level of environmental governance was most strongly determined by indicators concerning climate change and biodiversity.

The paper presents an approach for optimal planning of biomass energy system based on carbon footprint minimization. A geographical spatial demand driven approach is applied to assess the feasible ways for transferring energy from renewable sources to district heating plants in the Province of Florence (Italy). The proposed approach has been developed on three levels. In the first one, the Province of Florence is partitioned into a number of Regional Energy Cluster (REC) using a multidimensional algorithm of regionalization called SKATER. The variables used in SKATER model are related in order to realize sustainable policy for forest and agriculture biomass productions. In the second step a geographical fuzzy multiple attribute decision making model was applied to the selection of biomass district heating localization. Finally, in the third step a georeferenced Mixed Integer Linear Programming model based on resourcesupply- demand structure for carbon-minimization energy planning has been applied.

According to statistical data published by Eurostat, Poles are among the fastest aging societies in the European Union. The increase in the elderly population poses challenges not only for medical services, but also for social and economic policy of the country. Discussions on the senior policy focus increasingly also around issues concerning the quality of life of the elderly. This paper aims at spatiotemporal analysis of living standards of older people in Poland. The study uses rich set of economic, social, environmental and health care data to develop a measure of standard of living for people age 65+. Exploratory spatial data analysis tools are implemented to identify spatial relations shaping the living standards among the elderly in Poland. The study is carried out based on statistical data for poviats, in 2010 and 2015.
