Merging lands and bartering them has become one of regular practices to achieve the right spatial and economic environment for agricultural production. European Union funds will made their resources available for merging and bartering practices, which will surely result in the increased number of projects related to agricultural land management in Poland.The presented paper has been aimed at preliminary rating of the municipalities in Malopolskie Voivodship area according to the necessity of introducing there land merging or bartering. The paper presents spatial development of the municipalities with a view to the required merging and bartering to be initiated. The research has revealed wide diversity over the concerned municipalities with regards to land merging or bartering of lands to be executed. The municipalities from latitudinal band (at the latitude of Krakow) running from west to east of the studied region exhibited the highest needs for the concerned land management arrangements. In the municipalities in Krakow proximity such practices were found highly required. The middle part of Malopolskie Voivodship represents the area of relatively small urgency for such works. It is worth concluding that the conducted research provides support to the local governments in decision making process on preliminary merging or bartering ...

The aim of this article is to present the basic rules of protection and rational usage of lands in Poland and Ukraine, and to point out the differences and similarities in this issue. In the summary concerning this problem the authors said, that the average quality of agricultural lands varies in both countries. When we take into consideration the soil quality, in Ukraine the soil is much better than in Poland. Besides, the agrarian structure is different in both countries. In Ukraine there is a large number of big farms with big farmlands, often used as crop fields. In the Polish structure of farmlands most of the farms are private (individual). This difference has an impact on the strategy of environmental protection and land usage there. In Ukraine the protection is based on large farmlands, their proper shape and area, the level of tillage, to avoid the danger of soil erosion. In Poland the most important is protecting the best lands, according to their quality. In authors' opinion, the issues presented in the article can be a basis for the experience exchange and teaching, treating the rules of protection and economic usage of lands of their neighbor, as the source ...
The issue of socio-economic development is a phenomenon with a complex analysis. It is associated with both the economic aspect, demographic and natural. The development is directly related to the increase in investment, with interest tourism, the development of technical and social infrastructure. It cannot be forget the human capital. The outflow causes a decline in socio-economic development. Social and economic changes after 1990 were the direct cause of the reorganization of the spatial structure of the country and regional links. Province called "Eastern wall" are seen as agricultural areas, less developed. Question remains whether to attempt to inhibit the unfavorable processes in less developed areas (agricultural), to support them and strive for their development, or support these areas, which themselves already have development potential. The article presents the analysis the socio-economic development of Podkarpackie, taking as a primary field assessment district. Analysis was performed according to the state for the year 2011, the data come from sources of official statistics of the Central Statistical Office. These analyzes gave the zone set for the differentiation of areas for the socio-economic development. The testing method used to analysis was the taxonomy, created by the researcher in Wrocław. ...
The article presents an analysis and assessment of the environmental effects arising from the implementation of the municipality's spatial policy, including the consequences related to the adoption of the local development plan and urban planning of the municipality to the Natura 2000 area. In particular, the authors focused on how both zones cover each other. This was made with GIS tools in QGIS programme. On the other side, the article presents the estimation of ecological aspects of Natura 2000 localisation combined with the spatial local development plan arrangements. The estimation was made using SWOT analysis, which enables entirety and authentic analysis. There were defined four groups of features: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. All of the features were estimated with values. The SWOT analysis was adopted to estimate the ecological aspects which are to see as consequences of spatial policy in the commune level. This make possible to choose the most optimal strategy, to use by the commune to be noticed during the spatial policy process in case of ecological area localisation. ...
