Funds collection zebranie funduszy Summary Background. Physical activity is the primary factor in maintaining health and fitness. The minimal amount of physical activity per week is about 150 minutes of moderate activity. There are also many different motivation factors for activity, depending on various characteristics, for example, gender. The following article aims to prove how far gender can differentiate the motivation factor determining the amount of students' physical activity. Material and methods. The study was carried out in 2016 in a group of 694 students of Warsaw University. The tool used to conduct the research was a proprietary questionnaire. Results. The study showed that there are distinct differences between women and men. Firstly, the study allows for stating that students demonstrate different attitudes towards recreational activity. The second important outcome shows that intrinsic motivation is stronger in female students, while extrinsic factors play an essential role in males. Conclusions. The obtained results on physical activity of students of Warsaw University remain partially in line with those found in other universities. Fitness improvement, weight reduction and well-being are the main motivation factors affecting the amount of physical activity. Another factor pointed out by students, and strongly emphasised by women, is taking care of own figure and physical condition. The element of pleasure concomitant with physical activity also becomes one of the most significant motivating factors for students of Warsaw University. Furthermore, male students are more likely to be driven by competition and selfexamination, while females are more into weight control.

ABSTRAKT: Osiedle Lykke to pierwsze osiedle w Warszawie, którego główną ideą jest wspieranie i rozwijanie aktywności fizycznej mieszkańców. Cel ten ma zostać osiągnięty poprzez odpowiednie zagospodarowanie przestrzeni osiedla oraz jego lokalizację w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie komercyjnej i niekomercyjnej przestrzeni rekreacyjnej (w tym w sąsiedztwie terenów zieleni). Przeprowadzone wśród mieszkańców osiedla badanie wykazało, że koncepcja takiego zagospodarowania przestrzeni jest odbierana pozytywnie, poszczególne elementy osiedla są dobrze oceniane i wykorzystywane przez mieszkańców, a zaprojektowana w ten sposób przestrzeń ma faktycznie duży potencjał w kształtowaniu aktywnego stylu życia mieszkańców.SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: osiedle mieszkaniowe, rekreacja, aktywność fizyczna ABSTRACT: Lykke housing estate is the first housing estate in Warsaw, whose main idea is to develop and support physical activity of its inhabitants.

Potential and Conditions for the Development of the Creative Sector in Warsaw The creative sector has become an important source used to create competitive advantages of the cities. The importance of creative industries in urban development was spotted more than a decade ago. Creative capital is perceived as an impulse and engine of urban changes, a source of new advantages and attractions. Some point out that it mainly develops in big cities, where the authorities deliberately implement measures aimed at supporting and attracting creative entities. The purpose of this study is to present the condition of the creative sector in Warsaw and the way its functioning is perceived by its representatives. It also discusses the support of city authorities for the development of the creative sector.
