Abstract: The article presents the results of a study on the pedestrian accessibility of critical services in Warsaw. Such services are those which are most often used by residents. The pedestrian accessibility of critical services in Warsaw varies and depends both on the category of services and the age of the inhabitants making use of them. The distribution of services does not meet the demand related to the distribution of inhabitants of certain age groups in the city. The best availability of critical services occurs in densely built-up areas such as Górny Mokotów, Tarchomin or Kabaty. Accessibility of these services is a problem for residents of peripheral areas.

Key words: Fifteen Minute City, pedestrian accessibility, critical services, Warsaw

Abstract: The article presents the results of a study aimed at determining the impact of the pandemic on the everyday spatial behavior of Warsaw residents. This impact turned out to be substantial and it can be assumed that the observed changes will be permanent. The popularity of active mobility has increased and residents more often use services close to their place of residence. This proves that the implementation of the concept of sustainable urban mobility and a “15-minute” city based on a network of local centers can be a scenario for shaping the functional and spatial structure of the city.

Key words: daily mobility, COVID-19, 15-minute city, sustainable urban mobility, Warsaw, urban sustainability

Abstract: The article presents the results of a study on the location and characteristics of coworking spaces in Warsaw and their functioning during the pandemic. As part of the study, these spaces were inventoried and in-depth interviews were conducted with their selected representatives. Coworking spaces operate in 11 out of 18 districts of Warsaw. Their location is affected by transport accessibility, proximity to other services and office spaces where companies from various businesses are located. During the Covid-19 pandemic, coworking spaces were not closed. However, the way they function, the volume of services provided and the structure of users have changed. Coworking spaces have adapted to the new operating conditions and the prospects for their development in Warsaw are good.

Key words: coworking, coworking spaces, location, COVID-19, Warsaw

Transformacja od społeczeństwa wiejskiego do miejskiego. Urbanizacja Meksyku w XX i początku XXI wieku

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to investigate the process of urbanization in Mexico between 1900 and 2020. Particular attention was paid to determining spatial changes in the level of urbanization by regions and states. The study included localities with more than 2,500 inhabitants, this value being the lower limit for obtaining urban rights. In light of the opinions of local researchers, not all such centers already had fully developed urban characteristics, which is especially true for the data from the first half of the 20th century. However, such a broad approach makes it possible to include in the study the entire population classified in the censuses as urban. Available data indicate that Mexico experienced an urbanization boom during the period under analysis. In 1900, only 10.5% of the more than 13.6 million population lived in cities, and only two of them had more than 100,000 residents while not exceeding 0.5 million. By 2020, the urban population had grown nearly 70-fold to reach 99.3 million, while Mexico’s population had only increased more than 9-fold, bringing the urbanization rate to 78.8%. Such a rapid expansion of urbanization nationwide has also led to significant transformations in its spatial distribution, manifested mainly in a decline in the dominance of Mexico City and the surrounding central region in the level of urbanization. As a result, this has led to a situation in which the country’s contemporary urban network is more polycentric in nature.

Key words: Mexico, level of urbanization; urban network; urbanization, metropolization

Abstract: Pueblos Magicos (PPM) is a program used for tourism promotion in Mexico that is focused on the country’s cultural and natural richness. Such a development impulse ought to increase the tourist offer and, consequently, employment in the services that support tourism. Using a synthetic indicator, the study did a dynamic analysis of changes in employment levels in tourism-related services and the number of businesses for towns admitted to the program throughout its early stages of operation. The analysis done for the paper shows that the increase in employment in the tourism sector has not been considerably impacted by this initiative. However, if the Pueblos Mágicos verification is done correctly and the program is running, it might play a big part in boosting tourism.

Key words: Pueblos Mágicos, Mexico, tourism development program, employment in tourism

Rozwój miasta w warunkach dominacji nieformalnej zabudowy mieszkaniowej. Przykład Villavicencio w Kolumbii

Abstract: The development of Colombian cities is conditioned both by the growing number of the country’s population and the internal political situation, which is conducive to mass forced migrations of the rural population to the cities. Initially, the goal of these migrations was only urban centers located in the Andes, mainly Bogota and Medellin. Since the beginning of the 21st century, more and more people have settled in cities located in lowland regions – in the Caribbean Plain and in the eastern plains, i.e., in the Llanos Orientales. Sensitive ecosystems characterizing tropical areas are degraded as a result of invasive informal development – natural vegetation is destroyed, surface water pollution increases, the frequency of landslides and mudslides increases, and fauna is impoverished. The lack of an effective urban planning system and the high demand for new areas for informal development, as well as closed housing estates for the middle and upper classes, cause profound changes in the city’s ecosystem and its surroundings and expose buildings erected on land unsuited for this type of use to destruction.

Key words: informal sector in the city, environmental degradation, Villavicencio, urbanization in tropical regions, forced migration

Abstract: The percentage of invalid votes in national elections in Poland, has not been studied as extensively as in the case of local elections. There are many research gaps in this area, starting with the description of the spatial patterns of this diverse phenomenon. This article has this main goal: to describe the spatial patterns of the percentage of invalid votes in the elections to the Sejm, the European Parliament and the President of the Republic of Poland in the years 2004–2019. The key of this study is a long-term analysis of the above-mentioned problem, as well as a look at the changes taking place in space-temporal terms. For this purpose, the methods of comparative map analysis, spatial classification and statistical analysis: Kruskal-Wallis and Student’s t-tests were used. The most important conclusion from this work is the universality of spatial patterns of the percentage of invalid votes in the case of elections to the Sejm and the European Parliament and some differences in the case of presidential elections. The persistence of interregional differences is also noticeable, but we can observe strengthening of these differences in the case of parliamentary and presidential elections, and weakening in the case of elections to the European Parliament. The article also presents an explanation for the significant increase of invalid votes in the Bydgoszcz district in the 2005 Sejm elections, which was caused by the unusual design of the brochure ballot card.

Key words: elections, electoral geography, invalid votes, spatial classification

Abstract: The considerations in the text comprise the topic of Warsaw urbanonyms that commemorate real figures. The aim of the text is to present the place and year of birth of each of the patrons, and to analyze the collected data in geographical and historical terms. The presented results prove that the majority of Warsaw patrons are Poles, born mainly in the 19th and 20th centuries in areas belonging to the Republic of Poland presently or in the past. There are much fewer patrons born in earlier centuries, and people born in other countries of Europe and the world.

Key words: urbanonyms, Warsaw, patrons, geographical names

Abstract: Spatial mobility of communities living in the Carpathian Foothills in the early modern era is an interesting issue, primarily because of local ethnic diversity. In addition to representatives of Polish ethnic groups, Orthodox (later Greek Catholic) Wallachians and Ruthenians, Hungarians and Jews lived here. According to chronicle narratives (Kromer, Bielski, Stryjkowski, Piasecki, Starowolski) from the 16th–17th centuries, however, the region was characterized above all by a high degree of population of descendants of former German settlers (called Deaf Germans), brought in 14th–15th centuries, who still spoke a language similar to German and professionally engaged in weaving (especially nearby the towns of Biecz, Krosno and Łańcut). The aim of the article is to look at the issue of mobility of this professional group based on the entries from the Book of Admission to the Municipal Law of Biecz (1538–1690) and in the context of research on the Deaf Germans. The analysis of the data confirms that the key group arriving in the foothills town were weavers from various areas of the former German settlement. In addition to the issue of spatial mobility, attention will also be devoted to social mobility, because moving from the countryside to the city was an opportunity for social advancement at that time.

Key words: spatial mobility, social mobility, weaving, Book of Admission to Municipal Law, Carpathian Foothills, Biecz

Abstract: The concept of „Deaf/Forest Germans” developed on the basis of cultural processes taking place in the Carpathian Foothills in the period from the 14th to the 19th/20th century. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the biography of this concept and to conduct its etymological analysis based on its oldest known records, mainly from Old Polish manuscripts and old prints. Above all, the authors focus on the source by the 18th-century encyclopedist Benedykt Chmielowski who formulated four definitions of this term. Based on it and other records, and some analogies from the territory of Poland and Slovakia as well, the authors try to answer the question about the nature of the settlement processes taking place in the Carpathian Foothills. Finally, they look at the concept through the prism of its German substitutes (Taubdeutsche and Walddeutsche).

Key words: Carpathian Foothills, Lesser Poland, Deaf/Forest Germans, Germans, concept
