The article presents the state of selected elements of municipal infrastructure in rural areas in Poland as per provinces. The level of infrastructure in individual provinces was described using five elements: house water connections, house sewers of combined sewer system, individual rural sewage treatment plants, landfill sites and water treatment plants. The above mentioned analysis is based on comparable parameters, i.e. reduced to a “common denominator”, such as the number of house water connections, house sewers of combined sewer system and the number of rural individual treatment plants were converted to 1000 houses in the individual area, whereas landfill sites and water treatment plants were converted to 100 thousand inhabitants of the province. The evaluation of municipal infrastructure in rural areas in individual provinces used data provided by the Main Statistical Office as of the end of 2005. The paper attempts to compare individual provinces with respect to their municipal infrastructure. Considering house water connections number, the situation was best in the opolskie and dolnośląskie provinces and the worst in the malopolskie and podkarpackie. If combined sewerage of the whole area is taken into consideration, the greatest number of water house connections was registered in the pomorskie and zachodniopomorskie provinces ...
The investigations were undertaken because of an important role which necessary elements of technical infrastructure play in rural areas, conditioning a development of each economic activity, including providing services for tourists. The article presents the selected elements of municipal infrastructure in rural communes (house cross connections to sewer and water supply systems).The investigations covered rural communes of the malopolskie province, which were analyzed with respect to a tourist function which they may fulfill, estimated using Schneider and Defert indicators. An attempt was made to establish a relationship between the state of selected elements of technical infrastructure and the level of tourist traffic. The relationship may determine a given region, village attractiveness or unattractiveness therefore decide about the chances or barriers to its further development. The data used in the paper come from The Main Statistical Office Regional Data Bank. A survey of water supply systems showed that not all communes had such cross connections. The highest number of cross connections per 100 houses were registered in the communes of Biały Dunajec, Poronin and Kościelisko. On the other hand the communes of Lubień, Ochotnica Dolna, Rzepiennik Stryżewski, Tokarnia and Trzciana did not have a single cross connection to water supply system. ...
The paper aims at an identification, analysis and assessment of selected tourist development elements in rural areas in Poland according to individual regions. Due to their tourist amenities, for numerous tourists rural areas are a de-sirable place of leisure. Some people prefer hotels, motels or pension houses for accommodation, whereas the others use agrotourist farms. In pursuance of the act on tourist services, hotel facilities are objects which meet the requirements con-cerning their size and equipment, qualifications of the personnel and the scope of services provided as stated for the kind and category to which the object was clas-sified, these facilities must also meet the sanitary, fire and other requirements determined by separate regulations. Localization of sleeping facilities throughout rural areas in Poland is di-versified. In order to ensure the comparability of the obtained results, the absolute data concerning the number of sleeping facilities were presented as an indicator expressing the number of objects per the area of 1 km2. The most important sleeping facilities are hotels. The largest numbers of these are situated in the malopolskie and śląskie provinces, whereas the least number of hotels were registered in the lubelskie and podlaskie provinces. Simi-larly, the most numerous ...
Presented article analyses the rate of development of selected technical in-frastructure elements i.e. water supply lines, sewage disposal systems and gas grids located in rural areas in Poland in the years 2000-2009. In order to ensure the comparativeness of obtained results concerning the analyzed elements of technical infrastructure, absolute data were presented as an indicator expressing the number of water supply lines per 100 houses situated in the analyzed area.The analysis conducted including such indicators as absolute increments, chain indices or average rate of changes, revealed increasing tendency for all an-alyzed elements of technical infrastructure. The most noticeable development characterized water supply lines. Development of the other elements was also noticeable, however at a much slower rate.Increasingly faster development of rural areas owing to new functions which they assume, determines the direction of changes both in the infrastructure and other areas of life in the country.

The role of physical activity in the daily life of society is increasing, therefore it is appropriate to provide the necessary conditions for the implementation of various forms of physical activity by the local community.The purpose of this article is to identify, analyze and evaluate the devel-opment of the areas selected provinces in sport and recreation infrastructure.The scope of research includes the areas of spatial regions: Malopolska and Slask. For reference purposes the analysis is performed by treating each as a test body.Distribution of infrastructure facilities for sports and recreation analyzed area is uneven. For all of the analysis objects except fields and Orlik and ski far the highest density of its kind sports and recreation infrastructure was recorded in Slask. However, Malopolska province was characterized by a high rate of the number of ski trails and at a comparable level to the province Slask number of objects Orlik and courts.Regular physical activity is a way to better, and thus a healthier life in modern society. For the proper development of all forms of physical activity is necessary to ensure that the public in the immediate environment needs the right conditions for the implementation of physical activity, which is undoubtedly ...
