The impact of space development structure on the level of ecological footprint - Shift share analysis for European Union countries
2022
The impact of the space development structure on the level of the ecological footprint is an important element of the sustainable development policy, determining not only its directions, but also indicating the manner of respecting en- vironmental principles. The aim of the research is to assess the impact of the spatial development structure on the eco- logical footprint level. The considerations are based on the assumption that the spatial development structure is a determinant of the ecological footprint level. The study used the shift share analysis method. Selected European coun- tries were the subject of the research. The research period covered the years 2009–2019. The spatial differ…
Sustainable development for soya production based on the field research carried out at the Variety Assessment Experimental Station of Głubczyce in th…
2018
The aim of this research was to determine the impact of various nitrogen fertilization systems in soya cultivation on quality and quantity of crop, as well as to examine the economic aspects of sustainable farming. The study was based on research carried out in the Variety Assessment Research Station of Głubczyce (years: 2015-2017). The soybean, protein and fat of four soya varieties (Glycine max (L.)Merrill) non-GMO (Augusta, Mavka, Aligator, Lissabon) were compared, using varying doses of N/ha (0, 30 and 60 kg). The cost effectiveness of the various fertilization doses was also determined. The soybean yields of the different soya varieties differed significantly, which indicates the exist…
Human Capital as Sustainability Factor in Regional Development - Some Observations in Cross-Border Regions of Moravian-Silesian and Opole Regions
2021
The main goal of cooperation of European border areas is to ensure the sustainable development, to reduce the negative effects of borders as administrative, legal and natural barriers, and to better use the untapped potential. That also refers to Moravian-Silesian and Opole regions. The objective of this paper is to present a research results of the human capital as a component of one of the dimensions of sustainable development concept in the case of two cross-borderly cooperating regions in Czech Republic and Poland: Moravian-Silesian and Opole. The research was based on a Eurostat data that include the time range between 2004 and 2020. The article is a continuation of the research, the r…
An analysis of the stability of rural tourism as a desired condition for sustainable tourism
2019
Abstract Tourism is a key sector in the sustainable development of rural environments. Its ability to create stable employment and an acceptable level of profits is conditioned by the stability of tourist activity throughout the year. This paper compares the level of seasonality of a group of rural destinations to that of coastal and urban destinations. By doing so, we intend to determine whether seasonality-related problems exist in the rural environment or not. The second aim is related to the first one: the proposal of a new, more comprehensive and objective methodology that can measure the intensity of seasonality based on a DP2 synthetic indicator. The DP2 indicator groups information …
Ecological education and ecological awareness of polish society
2018
Skuteczna ochrona środowiska naturalnego jest zależna od poziomu wiedzy społeczeństwa i od preferowanego stylu życia, które poprzez edukację podlegają ciągłym zmianom. Edukacja ekologiczna powinna wiązać się ze stałym procesem kształcenia, doskonalenia i pogłębiania świadomości każdego człowieka. Kształtowanie świadomości ekologicznej stanowi nadrzędny cel zrównoważonego rozwoju. Uczelnia wyższa jest zobowiązana do popularyzowania wiedzy ekologicznej wśród studentów wszystkich kierunków, a także prowadzenia działalności naukowo-badawczej służącej wdrażaniu zrównoważonego rozwoju. Procesy nauczania w zakresie wszystkich przedmiotów powinny być ukierunkowane proekologicznie w jak najszerszym …

The interaction between intermittent renewable energy and the electricity, heating and transport sectors
2012
In a global perspective, it is essential that the world transfers from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources in order to minimise climate change effects. As a part of such transition energy savings are also important, as they can decrease production costs effectively. The nature of such a change is that it has to be implemented on a local level. Energy saving technologies are placed with the demand decrease and renewable energy is typically distributed where the resources are. In some parts of the world, energy savings have resulted in a stabilisation of the energy demands, however in the world as such, demands are still increasing in buildings, transport and industry. Although the deman…
Assessing land condition as a first step to achieving land degradation neutrality : A case study of the Republic of Srpska
2018
Abstract Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) is a key voluntary and aspirational target of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 which urges countries to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss. A first and critical important step in the implementation of LDN is assessing the current land condition using not only active restoration of degraded land, but also targeting land degradation drivers behind the land degradation process. In a first step to achieve these goals, countries were provided a global dataset for three sub-indicators of land degra…
