Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify the concepts of development concerning the functioning of socio-ecological systems that share common elements with the concept of resilience. The second aim is to identify critical remarks relating to the concept of resilience, which are seldom raised by researchers and practitioners. The above goals were achieved on the basis of a query of mainly international literature relating to the concept of resilience of socio-ecological systems. The results of the research indicate that in the literature dealing with the issue of resilience, links with the concept of vulnerability and sustainable development are relatively often indicated. Critical comments relate to understanding resilience as an objective feature independent of the adopted axiology, understanding resilience in a purely positive context, and understanding resilience as the ability to withstand negative shocks rather than the ability to constantly adapt.

Key words: concepts, resilience, vulnerability, sustainable development

Abstract: Magura National Park, located in Beskid Niski Mountains, is poorly researched in the field of hydrology. The aim of this study is to recognize the water cycle patterns in Krempna stream catchment (located in Magura NP). To reach this goal, hydrological mapping was taken. 173 (9,9/square kilometer) water outflows in catchment were surveyed; mean spring water temperature was 13,8°C (ranging from 8 to 19°C) and mean SEC was 345 µS×cm−1 (ranging from 70 to 1000 µS×cm−1). The results, compared with existing studies, indicate low water resources and a rapid transformation of rainfall into runoff in the studied catchment.

Key words: water springs, Beskid Niski mountains, hydrological mapping, Magura National Park

Abstract: The consequences of climate change have shifted the approach to the rainwater discharge. New legal regulations, which force the inhabitants to change their behavior and impose additional financial burdens on them, have become an opportunity to revise the existing social attitudes towards the management of rain- and meltwater in suburban settlements. The aim of the article is to identify attitudes towards small retention in the context of changes in water law (both introduced and planned) among the inhabitants of three types of suburban areas in the Piaseczno municipality near Warsaw. The study verifies the hypothesis according to which the attitudes towards small retention differ depending on the type of built environment. It also answers the question of whether the type of suburban areas should differentiate the actions of local authorities aimed at rationalizing rainwater management. The article presents the results of a survey and interviews conducted among those residents of the municipality who have the option of using small retention on their own plot. Contrary to urban villages, residents of suburban areas with more dispersed housing and less paved surface are more open to the use of more effective small retention devices, in order to reduce the costs associated with the use of water and/or sewage, and pay a lower rain tax after its possible introduction. At the same time, they feel much more obliged to manage rainwater on their own property, without transferring full responsibility to the municipalityincluding the costs associated with it. On the other hand, the municipality is expected to adjust its intervention and subsidies to the specificity of individual settlements.

Key words: rainwater, meltwater, water management, suburban area, municipality of Piaseczno

Abstract: Environmental problems can be the public’s concern, and they also feel the ratio of dangerousness. Consequently, collecting their opinions and trying to get to know the way of their thinking regarding their environmental problem and solving them was an attractive case study for the authors of this article. In this research, the authors found the public’s opinion and attitude regarding environmental situations and issues in Kurdistan Region-Iraq throughout a public questionnaire/survey. Around 450 people randomly participated from various geographical locations/cities of the region proportioned to the population rate regarding different demography, gender, age, and academic background. The statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program was used to analyze their opinion. Also, the cross-tabulation method was used to understand the relationship between two or more variables. Gender, age, and educational background had effects on the participants’ attitudes toward environmental issues. Females, aged from 20 to 30, and Ph.D. degree holders were paying more attention to the environment. Geographically, the participation ratio for the Sulaimani, Erbil, Duhok, Halabja, and Kirkuk Provinces was 28.48 %, 21.95 %, 17.61%, 16.69%, and 15.00 %, respectively. High and low participation levels of the contributors are a reflection of the environmental awareness of the contributors, providing environmentalfacilities for the people, background, and culture of the community, and stability of political, economical, and social issues of the areas. Furthermore, COVID-19 affected the environment, and commonly it had a positive impact on the environment.

Key words: environment, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, pollution, COVID-19, geographical distribution

Abstract: The aim of the article is to reconstruct the ‘lived space’ of emigrants from the Kingdom of Poland to Brazil and the United States during the journey between home and the European port in the years 1890–1891. The sources were letters found by Witold Kula, compiled and published for the first time in the 1970s in the book Listy emigrantów z Brazylii i Stanów Zjednoczonych 1890–1891 (1973). The article contains an anthropological interpretation of the changing and meaningful relationship between migrants and space, and an indication of stages of the journey as elements of migrants’ geobiographies on the basis of letters from the road.

Key words: transatlantic migrations, lived space, journey, 19th century, Congress Kingdom of Poland

Abstract: We propose to look at the 1950s–60s Polish documentaries about Svalbard through the prism of visual geography. We analyse the films by Włodzimierz Puchalski and Jarosław Brzozowski. Svalbard’s landscape appears as a character in these films. The films have not been considered from a geographical viewpoint before, and some of them have not yet been studied at all.

Abstract: The article addresses the topic of street names in 10 Polish small cities, examined from the perspective of critical geography, and geography of social justice in particular – two disciplines that have so far been underrepresented in Polish geography. The studied hodonyms were analysed in the context of gender disproportions in streets named after individuals. In all towns, the toponymic landscape is dominated by male names, whose advantage over female names is significant, which confirms the thesis about naming patriarchy in Polish cities. Arguments for the urgent need to introduce changes in the current toponymic landscape were also presented in the text, along with the proposal of two new terms referring to the geographical names commemorating women – feminonyms and men – masculinonyms.

Key words: street naming, feminonym, masculinonym, gender equality, critical geography, geographies of social justice, polish cities

Abstract: Despite the commonly observed suburbanization, there are cities in Poland with a positive migration balance. One of them is Wrocław, which is the most important migration center in south-western Poland. The following study raises the issue of migratory inflow to this city, by characterizing the source areas and people settling there for permanent residence between 2002 and 2018. The main research method used in the study is the analysis of statistical data, whose primary source was the statistical material available in the Demography database. In the course of analysis, it was noted that the immigrant population is dominated by young people, coming both from municipalities located close to Wrocław, as well as significantly distant from it, which indicates the heterogeneity and lack of territorial continuity of the immigration field.

Key words: migration inflow, internal migration, concentration of the population, Wrocław
