“…All social groups were affected by the spatial effects of the pandemic, which were identified in the case of senior citizens [ 73 , 74 ] and students [ 16 , 75 ], among other groups. They were observed in Italy [ 7 , 76 ], Spain [ 7 , 77 ], Croatia, Israel, Lithuania, Slovenia [ 7 ] and Poland [ 16 , 75 ], Ukraine and Belarus [ 75 ]. Surveys conducted in April 2020 (during the lockdown in Poland) reveal that students were strongly affected by the limited access to public space and deficiency of direct social interaction [ 16 ].…”

The landscape and its perception influence the quality of life of a local community. Recreation areas bring a lot of benefits to society, also in terms of mental health. Open space and contact with nature, particularly during a crisis such as the pandemic, help alleviate the effects of the lockdown and social isolation. The study objective was to determine whether and to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the importance of recreation areas and the perception of landscape among students—a social group that experiences mood disorders increasingly often and has been severely affected by the lockdown. A survey was conducted in two stages, using a Google Forms online survey. A total of 381 students from universities in Lublin participated in the survey. The survey showed that the significance of recreation areas increased during the pandemic. The perception of landscape changed as well: the value of nature, scenic views, and the therapeutic effect of the landscape began to be appreciated to a greater extent. The survey results indicate the need to ensure the diversity of green areas and improve their accessibility. Designing these areas should also consider quiet areas as well as ensuring green mobility and places of recreation.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced universities to rapidly switch to distance learning, while simultaneously accelerating changes that might facilitate a more inclusive model of education. The goal of the research was to investigate the multi-dimensional aspects of learning online, including students' gender, age, and culture. The research results, based on 1562 survey responses from Polish and Ukrainian students, suggest that there are still differences between men and women as far as digital competences are concerned that might have their background in the traditional perception of gender roles. Besides, the pandemic has accelerated the processes of hardware and software enhancement in order to facilitate online learning, especially in Ukraine, which is mitigating technological exclusion. The possibility of accessing learning resources online, might allow people with lower economic status or women to continue education. The research results might be helpful in the development of future educational policies at Polish and Ukrainian universities.

“…Preliminary results of the study have already been published in Geographia Polonica,vol. 94, (Kawczyńska-Butrym et al 2021), and this manuscript contains an expanded version of the analysis (in terms of regions/cities and socio-demographic groups of respondents). It concerns such areas of students' life as employment, material situation, further education plans, life preferences, as well as health conditions.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic affected not only global economy and society, but also particular institutions, including those of higher education. The aim of the paper is to determine changes in students’ life at selected universities in Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. An online survey was applied, addressed to students of four universities in Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus (n=380). As a result of the pandemic, more than 46% of students declared worsening of their material situation. In comparison to the period before the pandemic, the respondents observed appearance or intensification of various psychosomatic symptoms, and a 12 percent point decrease in the assessment of their own health. The comparative analysis showed similarities between students’ life preferences, plans on university education, and differences in their material situation, health, and employment.
