The paper presents condition of the social infrastructure allowing of edu-cation. The researches were carried in chosen rural administrative units in the following Provinces: Malopolska, Lodz, and Podkarpackie. The level of infra-structural equipment in these regions was fixed on the open-ended questionnaire. It was directed to the pupils of primary schools. The researches were carried in Przylek and Jazwiny (rural area), Wieclawice Stare (suburban zone) and city of Krakow. The survey form has open-ended and closed-ended questions. There were two important problems. The first concerns the social infrastructure, the second a technical backup for the additional classes/lessons. The pupils could propose their own ideas and suggestions in the openended questions. Such infrastructural analysis is a good basis to apply for co-financing of the leaded educational investments from commune’s resources or EU funds. Recognition of the quality of infrastructural equipment is fundamental for strategic decision making in managing bodies. The role and significant of regional development and planning procedures are systematically rising. From the 1999 there is a new territorial division in Poland. It requires a new, actual stocktaking of local resources, in particular- infrastructure. There is also a need to adapt a Polish model of regional development ...
The paper compares the transport infrastructure potential of two neighbouring municipalities in Dębica County (Podkarpackie Voivodeship) that differ in administrative status and in their position relative to the A4 motorway and the national road network: Jodłowa (a rural municipality served only by county and municipal roads) and Pilzno (an urban-rural municipality traversed by national roads DK73 and DK94 and lying near the A4, but without an interchange on its territory). Infrastructure-based measures are applied: network density relative to area, density relative to population, and a weighted mean density, calculated for the total road network from highway-authority records for 2010-2020 and official Statistics Poland (GUS) data. These indicators are complemented by a convenience-sample CAWI survey (N=50+50) covering assessments of road condition, access to the higher-order network and ancillary roadside infrastructure. In 2020 the Jodłowa network totalled 54.50 km and the Pilzno network 213.16 km, including 20.69 km of national roads. Spatial density was 91.0 and 129.1 km per 100 km², respectively; demographic density was 10.3 and 11.7 km per 1,000 inhabitants. Residents' assessments follow network rank rather than demographic density: good and very good ratings of roads and network access predominate in Pilzno, whereas medium ratings are more frequent in Jodłowa. ...
