Data resources available at European and national level and possibilities of their use in education have been presented. Assessment of usefulness of these resources for environmental education objectives was made. Examples of use of spatial data in environmental education are presented.

Oceny tej dokonuję, odwołując się do analizy podstawowego obszaru determinującego efekty podjętych działań reformatorskich, a mianowicie wprowadzonych do praktyki edukacyjnej rozstrzygnięć prawnych. Od ich jakości zależą końcowe efekty reformy systemu edukacji. W artykule podejmuję próbę odpowiedzi na zasadnicze pytanie: Czy autorzy reformy stworzyli warunku prawne umożliwiające efektywne wdrażanie nowych rozwiązań strukturalnych i programowych? Słowa kluczowe: reforma systemu edukacji, prawo oświatowe, warunki tworzenia dobrego prawa, normy prawne

Georgy Voronoi graduated from the Department of Physics and Mathematics at the University of St. Petersburg, and subsequently worked as a professor of mathematics at the Imperial University of Warsaw. One of his students was the future outstanding Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński. In his brief lifetime G. Voronoi published several important scientific articles on number theory. In an almost 100 page paper in French published in 1908 he described a method of diagrams, or polygons, which became known as the method of Voronoi diagrams. In the digital age this method and its modifications found new applications. The entry “Voronoi” is getting more popular on the Internet, and the method of Voronoi diagrams and its modifications are widely described in handbooks and scientific articles. The article presents app...

Heat maps are graphical representations of geographic data density in the form of raster maps, elaborated by applying kernel density estimation with a given radius on point-or linear-input data. These maps were imported into cartography from data visualization techniques. Their growing popularity comes from their attractiveness and ease of creation, using various mapping libraries. Despite being commonly applied, it has not been evaluated whether they are an effective solution as maps for quick reading in a web environment. Similarly, it has not been verified to what extent their level of detail is a key issue. Therefore the aim of this study was to compare the usability of heat maps with different levels of generalisation for basic map user tasks.

The research focuses on determining the level of service for residents in each district with the emergency service station. In addition, an attempt was made to improve accessibility on the example of three selected districts. The authors attempt to select methodology of planning the location of the emergency service station in order to optimize the level of service for residents.

These activities should contribute to the gradual densification of buildings and the more frequent functioning of suburbanites in the local environment, close to the place of residence. The authors claim that the retrofitting of suburbs can be accomplished by impacting two dimensions of spatial chaos: limited pedestrian mobility around the place of residence (walkability) and low access to basic services. The article proposes a set of ten indicators and a synthetic index of spatial chaos that allow measuring the level of disorder in particular suburbs, and therefore on a smaller scale than a municipality, and at the same time refer to the features of the living environment typical of Polish suburbs. These indicators are a direct reference to the abovementioned dimensions of suburban spatial...

It should be analyzed in a wider context of social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects and even psychological and emotional factors should be considered. It means that tourism space/destination, which has mostly been treated as a geographical domain, should also be studied as a set of similar factors. In this respect, any tourism space/destination is characterized by complexity and multi-dimensionality, which generate an ontological question concerning its nature. Taking these considerations into account, a research problem related to the essence of tourism space/destination as well as the possibility of its development has been formulated. The problem is followed by the hypothesis that the development of tourism space/destination is measured by the achievement of the state of tourism sustainability. In the empirical part, a method to assess the development of tourism sp...
New Technologies in Tourism: Transition from Analogue to Digital Maps

The article discusses the subject of new technologies in tourism, especially the issue of replacing analogue maps with various types of digital ones - webGIS applications, geo-search engines, geoportals, applications containing tourist maps and mobile applications containing interactive maps. The research aimed to find an answer to the question whether we are actually dealing with the dusk of traditional tourism cartography, or if analogue maps are still needed and used. The issue regarding the impact of the geospatial revolution on subsequent stages of activity related to the preparation and completion of a tourist trip/journey was also discussed. Method. A discussion was presented on the role of maps in tourism. The advantages and disadvantages of digital maps, both computer and mobile ones, were evaluated within the context of their use by tourists. Findings. These considerations allowed the conclusion that despite the clear decline in the sales of tourist guides and tou...

The method presented can be used as the criterion for the determination of the degree of hazard to the river basins from the potential hydrological droughts. The basins with high inertia are less susceptible to the shortages of supply and are less threatened by the occurrence of hydrological droughts.
