At present theories explaining location of different firms from all economical sectors create special scientific stream in economical geography. Many theories have been put forward to explain the location of various types of economic activities since the 19th century. Some of them concern only to agriculture or industry. Others concern to modern forms of human, economical activity. In the modern approach, the location of a business also includes the results of the procedure of selecting a site at which an economic activity of a certain kind will be conducted. The location theory aims to define the spatial organisation of a company and to find the variables which will make it possible to state the location and to find analytical solutions. Agglomerations, due to high power of attracting and retaining the capital and entrepreneurial-minded staff, provide a good location for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Some theories of industrial location base on the concept of networking, which perceives the enterprise operation as a chain of various activities. Businesses develop while manufacturing goods, then they transfer those goods to successive entities. At present there are not many researches in literature explaining location, including sector of SMEs. Agritourism activity is the example ...
Percentage of wind energy production in Poland increases every year. In 2009 it amounted to 0.55%, while in 2014 it was already 4.53%. Localization and construction of wind farms must meet many conditions defined in regulations being in force in this field, they still arouse a lot of controversy. Main reasons are their negative impact on landscape, agritourism, land value, human health, nature and others. Every such investment has both positive and negative influence on the neighbourhood, and its development. It gives an income to communes' budgets through taxes, to landowners through grounds lease or sale, creates new workplaces during construction and then operation of devices. It also leads to modernization and repair local routes, electrical grids and others .The aim of this paper is to present chosen problems connected to the localization of wind farms. The research focuses on regulations concerning the wind farms localization , its procedures, calculation of taxes for communes, incomes for landowners on whose grounds the wind turbines were built, and others, in the context of the new law i.e. Act of 20 May 2016 on Wind Energy Investments. ...
Implementation of infrastructural investments is a key factor contributing to the development potential of a region. The current law in force, regulating the implementation of infrastructural public purpose investments, simplifies the actions leading to terrain acquisition for road investments.The research shows a significant dependence between access to public roads and demand for storage facilities. From an entrepreneur's point of view, the necessary condition for further development is implementation of infrastructural investments. Locating the investments in the vicinity of traffic routes is a strategic decision, closely related to the field of business. Too long distances combined with poor condition of road infrastructure generate additional transport costs. This fact is directly reflected in the limited economic and development potential of particular regions.In the studied case, the theoretical value of statistics (27.868) is almost a half of the calculated value (54.27). Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected. Calculations carried out at assumed significance level α = 0.0005, clearly prove, that there is a close correlation between the size of the company, and the choice of the location of the additional storage space with regard to access to infrastructure such as public roads. The carried out analysis confirms the fact, that the enterprise size ...
This article presents results on social infrastructure of burial character (cemeteries, crematoria) located in the rural areas in Poland taking into account its influence on spatial development and society. To achieve the goal, villages were chosen from each Province where in the years 1989-2019 burial facilities were implemented (36 objects), including: communal cemeteries (22 objects), parish cemeteries (8 objects), crematoria (6 objects). Analysis were carried out in accordance with the top-down principle, taking into account: planning documents, spatial and functional structure, context of burial objects, its location in the relation to the transport infrastructure, other religious facilities, development of buffer and social role. Research shows that the number of communal cemeteries and crematoria in the rural areas increased (which is associated with social acceptance for cremation process in Poland); this also applies to durability of cemetery composition and desacralization of its surrounding. Social infrastructure connected with burial should be an integrated part of rural landscape; that is why recommendations were elaborated. ...
