PurposeThe main objective of the conducted research was to find out various manifestations of pro-environmental behaviours (PEBs) amongst students of extramural programmes forced to stay at home during the lockdown period.Design/methodology/approachIn order to identify manifestations of PEBs during the lockdown, the authors conducted research with the participation of students of various management extramural programmes in a Polish university. The primary research method was diary, supplemented by literature review and analysis of curriculum content.FindingsPro-sanitary behaviours that dominated during the pandemic period were aimed at protecting individuals from contracting the virus and resulted from legal regulations. No clear and regular differences in PEBs were observed amongst the respondents with respect to their age, gender or familiarity with management systems used in their respective workplaces. Student-employees acquire little knowledge of PEBs during their studies. A serious barrier to the development of PEBs is the lack of access to knowledge that would clearly indicate the causes of environmental degradation.Practical implicationsBased on the obtained results, a list of recommendations for educational practices was developed. The list emphasises the importance of drawing students' attention to PEBs in the household environment.Originality/valueThe conducted research was another project focussed in general on environmental behaviours and aimed in particular at exploring how mandatory social distancing influenced people's PEBs. The paper also highlights some limitations of the diary method used to identify people's behaviours in the pandemic context.
Smart city? -realia współczesnego przekazu informacji w kształtowaniu polityki przestrzennej polskich gminSmart city? -the realities of contemporary information transfer in shaping the spatial policy of polish municipalities Streszczenie Dynamiczny rozwój systemów informatycznych nie pozostaje bez wpływu na zachodzące przemiany społeczno -gospodarcze, kształtując możliwości nowoczesnego zarządzania również w sferze rozwoju przestrzennego. Na tym tle prezentowane badanie podjęło próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie jak opisywany postęp cywilizacyjny wpływa na ramy funkcjonowania polityki przestrzennej polskich gmin. Badanie ograniczono do zagadnień związanych ze współczesnym przekazem informacji i jego wpływem na zaangażowanie społeczne w proces planowania przestrzennego oraz na świadomość prawną władz samorządowych w realizowanej samodzielnie polityce przestrzennej. W świetle zgromadzonych wyników zdiagnozowano znaczący rozdźwięk między współczesnym potencjałem informatycznym, a rzeczywistymi działaniami samorządów lokalnych, prowadzący do dezintegracji procesów planistycznych i konfliktów społecznych. W pracy przedstawiono również zarys proponowanych, niezbędnych działań naprawczych. AbstractThe dynamic development of information systems affects the ongoing socio-economic changes, shaping the possibilities of modern management also in the sphere of spatial development. Against this background, the presented study attempted to answer the question of how the described civilizational progress affects the framework of the functioning spatial policy of Polish municipalities. The study was confined to matters associated with contemporary information transfer and its effects on public involvement in the process of spatial planning, as well as on the legal awareness of municipal government personnel in their individually applied spatial policy. In light of the collected results, a significant discrepancy was diagnosed between the contemporary IT potential and actual measures taken by municipal governments, leading to the disintegration of planning processes and social conflicts. The work features an outline of proposed necessary reparative measures.Słowa kluczowe: przekaz informacji, polityka przestrzenna, partycypacja społeczna, zmiany systemowe
