“…Additionally, there has been a lack of joint projects between the parks that co-create the biosphere reserve on the Slovak and Ukrainian sides [48]. However, the analysis of activities from the southern border indicates the dominance of the main services for the tourism industry, as well as the relatively high participation in advanced scientific programs conducted by universities and research institutions [92].…”

The article addresses the issue of the management and functioning of biosphere reserves (BRs) in Poland. The hypothesis was raised that BRs in Poland are virtual rather than real entities. The study examined how the existence of BRs is reflected in Polish strategic and planning documents. The study examined documents from 1947 to 2022, i.e., Polish legal acts (archived and current), the national Strategy for Responsible Development, voivodeship strategies, and national park protection plans. It evaluated to what extent the biosphere reserves fulfil their role in Poland, as defined by the Man and Biosphere program. To verify the research questions, legal documents (laws and regulations) enacted by the Polish authorities, strategies, and planning documents created at the central and voivodeship levels, protection plans for nature conservation forms covering biosphere reserves, economic plans of entities managing biosphere reserves, and other documents were analyzed. It was shown that: (1) BRs do not have a legal basis in Polish legislation at the national level, despite Poland’s ratification of the Man and Biosphere program, (2) there is a lack of detailed information about BRs in national and voivodeship strategic documents (development strategies and spatial development plans for voivodeships), (3) the existence of biosphere reserves does not translate into spatial planning principles at the local level (municipalities), (4) there is no legal possibility to separate tasks related to biosphere reserves in nature conservation protection plans (national parks, nature reserves, and landscape parks), (5) in the case of transboundary BRs, the Inspection carried out in the Carpathians International Biosphere Reserve (Poland-Ukraine-Slovakia) showed only formal cooperation, not practical. In conclusion, the management of BRs and the implementation of tasks contained in the MaB program, particularly those related to sustainable development of the environment, society, and economy, are ineffective due to the lack of legal authorization in Poland.

“…The Czech-Polish border is almost 800 kilometers long, and CBC there has become an object of scholarship. Lewkowicz (2019) sees the Polish-Czech border as one of the better-integrated ones, using the comparative perspective of all Polish borders. Dołzbłasz (2015), Böhm and Šmída (2019) and Vaishar et al (2013) underlined the importance of cross-border tourism for joint CBC initiatives.…”

The (non)contribution of schools towards cross-border integration in the divided town of Těšín/Cieszyn, located on the Czech-Polish border, is analysed in this article. The pandemic-related border closures revealed a substantial level of togetherness in this town, manifested by various social activities. Moreover, a part of these (during the pandemic restricted) cross-border social practices were those in education. We applied a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods to diagnose the directions of cross-border educational flows, the approach of schools towards the identified joint cross-border social practices, and the possible level of togetherness. As a result, one-sidedness (Polish pupils attending schools in the Czech Republic) of cross-border flows was identified – which also follows the direction of a cross-border workforce. Except for the schools with Polish as the instruction language, located in the Czech part of the town, primarily serving Polish speakers living in the Czech Republic, we can mention hardly any mutually shared feeling of togetherness and an actual place-based approach towards educational governance in this divided town. We observe some ties in education between the autochthonous Polish minority in the Czech Republic and the Poles in Poland, without the involvement of pupils or teachers of Czech ethnicity, who do not reflect opportunities behind the border.

The primary objective of the present monograph is to determine the causes and to obtain the model-based generalization of the long-term variability as to the magnitude and structure of the traffic of persons across the boundaries of Poland, in dependence upon the economic, social and geopolitical variables, as well as those associated with the development of infrastructure. This primary objective was achieved through realization of the partial objectives, having complementary cognitive, methodological, theoretical, and also to some extent applied character. The partial objectives were constituted by: — assessment of trends in cross-border traffic (magnitudes and structures) in the years 1990‑2020 based on the observed data, acquired from the Border Guards (in the division into Schengen boundaries – analysis for the years 1990‑2007, and the eastern boundary – analysis for the years 1990‑2020); — assessment of dependence between, on the one hand, the trends in the magnitude and structure of the cross-border traffic, and, on the other hand, the variables, representing the economic, social, geopolitical and infrastructural development situation in Poland and in the neighboring countries, as well as the variables illustrating the intensity of the transboundary socio-economic interactions; — assessment of changes in the international mobility of Poles; — development of a formalized model of changes in cross-border traffic as dependent upon the variables considered; — identification and conceptualization of the observed transformations in the international spatial mobility; — formulation of the theoretical generalizations, explaining the variability in the intensity and structure of the cross-border traffic and their relations to the existing body of knowledge in this domain.
