The fencing of the ceremonial courtyard in the Wilanów royal palace rarely attracted scholarly attention. However, a recent archaeological survey and archive inquiries brought to light new research material, which allows a more detailed description of the transformations of this part of the residence's spatial arrangement. The barrier, for the first time visible in the site plan of 1682, consisted of a row of pillars with spans filled with iron railings. After Elżbieta Sieniawska purchased the Wilanów estate, the space of the ceremonial courtyard was restricted by the construction of the palace's wings. The alterations may have included the courtyard's fence, as shown by the 17th- and 18th-century site plans and the discovery of the remains of two variants of its course during excavations. When the palace was owned by Maria Zofia and August Czartoryski and Izabela Lubomirska, the fence consisted of stone columns alternating with wooden ones; some of the pillars were later demolished or exchanged for stonework. In 1784, as a result of the construction of new pavilions at the southern wing, the fence lost its practical function and deteriorated. Destroyed during military operations in 1794, it was rebuilt almost entirely of wood. In 1801, Stanisław Kostka Potocki had both courtyards and the barrier dismantled and replaced with an oval lawn. Potocki sought to transform the setting of his residence according to the fashion of the day, that is, in the spirit of English designs he had seen during his travels and the Puławy estate with which he was familiar. His actions were intended to increase, not without an element of rivalry, the splendour of his family.

The aim of the analysis is to present the subject-matter and the dynamics of the literature in the field of public health and health services, in the years 2000-2012, through the bibliometric analysis of the literature in 11 subject areas. Research questions: Which areas of public health and health services abound at this period in the largest number of publications? Can we observe in the period 2000-2012 growth in number of publications? Is it possible to see any patterns in the dynamics of publishing in particular areas? In which journals the articles on topics related to public health and health services are published most often? Method: The thematic areas of public health were identified following the basic functions of the public health highlighted in subject literature, and widened by inclusion of “management and organization of health care” and “health economics”. The Polish Medical Bibliography (PBL) was searched to find all types of publications published in the years 2000-2012, indexed with the major headings (descriptors) corresponding with the selected topics. The data obtained from PBL was processed by especially written computer program. Results: A total of 24,631 articles on predetermined topics were recorded in PBL, in the chosen period. Dominate publications on “management and organization”, “law regulation” and “health economics”. Together they constitute more than half of all publications. Next, most frequently presented in publications issue was “monitoring the health of the population”. Incomparably less is publications on the prevention of diseases and their causes. During this period, there are only few comparative studies published showing Poland among other countries. Also, very little work is published about the aging of the Polish population seen as a public health problem. From 2000 to 2010, the number of publications in the entire public health area has remained relatively stable. From 2010 begins gradual decrease in the number of articles in almost all fields, with the exception of “disease monitoring”,” prevention of accidents and injuries” and “epidemiological surveillance”. More than half (51%) of the publications were published in 55 journals, of which only 20 deal extensively with issues of public health. Other articles are distributed in more than 300 other bio-medical journals. Conclusions: Public health and health services fields, as areas of research and professional discussion in Poland are dominated by issues of management, organization, economics and law regulations. Number of publications in all analyzed subjects (public health + management+economics) in the years 2000-2012, shows a weak growth, with significant differences between individual areas and sub-areas. In such areas as “disease prevention”, “management”, “health economics”,” quality of care” issues - the number of publications is falling. Dispersion of publications in hundreds of magazines, mostly bio-medical, probably is not conducive to the consolidation of public
