Purpose: The paper aims to outline the findings from a questionnaire survey conducted among students of Construction and Environmental Engineering programmes at the University of Bielsko-Biała. In particular, the paper discusses the application of teaching methods in the education of engineers, entrepreneurs, construction managers and environmental engineers. Its purpose is also to highlight the advantages and the drawbacks of the selected teaching methods; its aim is to present the selected methodical aspects of the discussed issues. Design/methodology/approach: Due to the nature of the publication, it mainly focuses on the results of the survey carried out among students of Construction and Environmental Engineering programmes at the University of Bielsko-Biała, i.e. engineers, entrepreneurs, construction managers and environmental engineers. The research covered students of undergraduate and graduate programmes who, in most cases, had already been in employment and acquired hands-on experience in their fields. The survey used questionnaires as the basic research technique. The questionnaires followed up a review of scholarly literature. The paper uses the fundamentals of deduction and synthesis. At the same time, in the publication the authors drew on their own knowledge and experience gained when educating attendees of technical and business programmes. Findings: The paper constitutes an empirical verification of the knowledge presented in the scholarly literature. It addresses the selected methodical aspects of the discussed issues. Research limitations/implications: The presented research concerned the selected teaching methods. It covered a relatively small group of students. The vast majority of the respondents had already been working in organisations, i.e. these were mostly students attending extramural programmes. Practical implications: The findings of the empirical research, referred to in the publication, may serve as a starting point for any efforts aiming to improve the range of methods used when educating students attending technical programmes but also managerial and business ones. Arguably, the knowledge conveyed to engineers and engineer-entrepreneurs i.e. individuals who are often at the helm of organisations, must be based on practical aspects. Originality/value: The paper is an attempt to cast light onto the process of educating future engineers as well as managers in charge of organisations (construction, environmental engineering) by a technical university. The research findings should help us to improve the teaching methods used in these areas. This is particularly important as the main issues discussed in the paper are presented predominantly from students' perspectives. The paper also addresses the advantages and the drawbacks of the teaching methods used at the time when e-learning was the main formula i.e. during the Covid-19 pandemic and the post-pandemic period.

Purpose: The author of this publication tried to verify the advancement of the management and ownership process of succession in family companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). Especially knowing that the first succession process is the most difficult and most of listed family companies should be in period of planning or implementing it. Design/methodology/approach: The presented conclusions from the empirical analyses are to be used to estimate the level of advancement of the succession process in family companies listed on the WSE in accordance with the theoretical basis presenting succession through the prism of the process. Findings: The verification of the research projects showed that the vast majority of family companies listed on the WSE have not completed the succession process. Companies that have completed the management succession are rare, however no company has been identified that has completed the succession of ownership. Additionally, a quite significant level of generality was indicated in relation to the presented research work in the indicated area. Research limitations/implications: The presented research results are based on different definitions of family companies, which results in a different number of entities covered by the empirical analysis and makes it difficult to draw overall conclusions. Despite that none of the presented research results verified the announcement of the succession plan in the corporate documents. It should also be noted that all the presented results of the conducted empirical analyzes focused on the verification of the intra-family succession. Practical implications: Referring to the presented data it can be noticed that despite the passage of time, there is no significant progress in the succession process in family companies listed on the WSE. The people holding management control and ownership are still senior males. Therefore these data seem to be alarming. Originality/value: To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first scientific study presenting in one place the aggregated results of research which show the level of advancement of the succession process in family companies listed on the WSE from 2017 to 2024, taking into account the theoretical foundations presenting succession through the prism of the process.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to review the level of advancement of linked open data (LOD) concept in public institutions, based on the example of Lower Silesia (Poland) organizations. Moreover, this paper considers the level of advancement of Lower Silesia institutions on the famous Tim Berners Lee’s scale and compares the obtained results. Design/methodology/approach: case study of important public institutions of Lower Silesia region, and the assessment of LOD concept advancement, based on 5-star Tim Berners Lee’s scale an short expert interviews. Findings: We can observe considerable interest and willingness to create a network of linked open data, which is visible in the growth of the number of data sets and the ever-expanding structure of the LOD cloud. Implementation of LOD in public institutions can be really helpful in management and decision-making processes. Public entities in Lower Silesia (Poland) should continue to develop their network to reach the highest level of advancement of LOD concept, especially in the context of integration with other data sets. Research limitations/implications: The limitation of the research was the fact that not all public institutions are still familiar with the concept of linked open data, or do not use it to its full extent. Practical implications: In the context of public institutions, LOD can play a key role in improving transparency, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. Users can freely access information that is crucial to them and use it for interesting social or commercial projects, as well as individual ones. Social implications: The practical implementation of LOD is also related to its social impact, everything depends on the type of data that is made available to users. Very often, they are related to administration, public transport, budget management of smaller and larger communities or health care, what can really contribute to improving the quality of life. Originality/value: For the first time, the level of advancement of the linked open data concept in Polish public institutions was evaluated, which may improve the results in institutions already using this idea but also encourage them to develop the network of linked data resources.

Purpose: The main purpose of the article is to verify the similarity of ratings of groups of social media types. The study was conducted on speedway sport fans in Poland. An additional aim is to find differences in the perception of the variety of factors influencing the attractiveness and quality of social media pages. The reason for the article was also the need to find a relatively new and easy method to study media diversity in order to make decisions about managing communication with content audiences. Design/methodology/approach: The main interview method was used to achieve the intended purpose, based on a survey questionnaire targeted at active social media users of speedway clubs. Based on numerical data collected between 21 and 31 October 2024, a hypothesis was made about the homogeneity of social media use and the factors influencing the quality of communication. The data were statistically analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA test. The subject of the study was respondents' assessments of the degree of comparability of fads and the factors characterising them. Only the evaluations of respondents who were active on social media were included in the study. Results: The results of the study provided statistical characteristics to verify the hypothesis of similarity of social media-related characteristics according to the procedure presented. Limitations/conclusions of the study: The main limitations of the study are the variety of factors that can influence communication management in sports organisations, as well as the multi-channel nature of the methods of reaching stakeholders. The paper focuses mainly on social media differences without identifying the strength of these differences. In the future, this approach can be adapted to address communication management issues, but requires more explicit results. Practical implications: the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA method is a modification of the existing ANOVA/MANOVA method. The in-depth method used in this paper was chosen because in comparative tests the basic condition is a normal distribution for the individual series. The method used allows this condition to be bypassed, and this allows it to be used freely to learn about the assessment of social media homogeneity. It provides sports companies with a tool to recognise their competitive position in terms of marketing communication and the effectiveness of its online tools. Social implications: It is assumed that with the optimal application of the proposed research method, a tool is gained to objectively assess the homogeneity of the media and the factors that characterise it. This allows for a more effective management of communication outside the sports organisation. The method replaces the qualitative assessment of this management by showing the position among different types of media or factors. Originality/value: The article targets different companies active in the online space in multiple social media. The novelty is that the data obtained in the face-to-face survey provides a basis for analysis and answers the question of diversity and quality. The method used for social media is included for the first time. Knowledge of the diversity of groups influences communication management.

Grand Lomé, Togo’s metropolis and capital city, is experiencing an urban explosion that is creating enormous road and traffic management challenges. Mobility is increasingly marked by heavy congestion, traffic congestion caused by businesses, and illegal parking on the roads, aggravating road safety challenges. This research project aims to analyze the influence of poor road management on the mobility of the population of Grand Lomé. The methodological approach involved drawing up an inventory of the road network through observation and interviews with the stakeholders and road users. The results reveal a lack of appropriate road layout on the one hand and poor management of traffic flow, the absence of parking areas, and poor enforcement on the other. The road network is substandard. The main roads do not have sidewalks or crosswalks. Most of the sidewalks that do exist on some new roads are narrow and illegally occupied by businesses, preventing non-motorized transport users from benefiting from them. Bicycle paths are virtually non-existent on new lanes, which highlights the lane configuration problem. In order to ensure sustainable mobility in cities like Lomé, it is essential to optimize the road network and traffic conditions.

Dotychczasowe badania naukowe wskazują na rosnący udział BIM (Building Information Modeling) w procesie cyfryzacji obiektów budowlanych. Uznaje się, że BIM powinien być wykorzystywany nie tylko do budowy trójwymiarowych modeli informacyjnych, ale także powinien wspierać cyfryzację procesów budowlanych poprzez unikanie ponownego wprowadzania danych na różnych etapach inwestycji. Interoperacyjne modele BIM zapisane w standardzie IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) mogą być niezwykle szczegółowe geometrycznie i jednocześnie bogate w dane niegraficzne. IFC umożliwia łączenie różnych rodzajów danych, w tym danych pomiarowych, dokumentów i zdjęć z budowy lub odbiorów, aby przechowywać stany przeszłe, teraźniejsze i przyszłe obiektu budowlanego. W pracy podjęto próbę symulacji różnych działań w czasie dla wybranego modelu informacyjnego budynku. Zaprezentowano szeroki i inkluzywny kontekst tzw. cyfrowych bliźniaków, które w przyszłości pozwolą na osiągnięcie ambitnych celów gospodarki cyrkularnej. W artykule zaprezentowano też warstwę technologiczną poświęconą procesowi powstawania cyfrowego bliźniaka, w tym wykorzystanie szerokiego spektrum danych wejściowych.

EN

Scientific research to date indicates an increasing involvement of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the digitization process of buildings. It is recognized that BIM should take part not only in creation of three-dimensional building information models, but it is also expected to support digitization of building processes by avoiding data re-enter at different investment phases. Interoperable BIM models that are saved in IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) standard can be detailed geometrically and rich in non-graphical data. IFC allows combining various types of data, including measurement data, documentation and photos from construction site or building acceptances to store past, present and future states of a building. The paper attempts to simulate various actions over time for a selected building information model. The paper presents a broad and inclusive context for the so-called digital twins, which will help achieve ambitious goals of the circular economy in the future. The paper also demonstrates a technological layer dedicated to the process of creating a digital twin, including the use of a wide range of input data.

Unia Europejska promując gospodarkę o obiegu zamkniętym (GOZ), dąży do dekarbonizacji do 2050 roku. W związku z tym sektor budowlany, który odpowiada za znaczną emisję CO2 i zużycie surowców, wymaga nowych, innowacyjnych rozwiązań. Kluczową rolę odgrywają cyfrowe paszporty produktów (DPP) i paszporty materiałowe, które śledzą pochodzenie i cykl życia materiałów, wspierając ponowne wykorzystanie i recykling. Technologie cyfrowe, takie jak BIM, IoT i AI ułatwiają wdrażanie GOZ. DPP zapewnia autentyczne dane o produktach, wspierając transparentność i zgodność z regulacjami UE i dostęp przez koncepcję budynków jako banki materiałów Buildings as Material Banks (BAMB). Producenci, użytkownicy, firmy recyklingowe i inne podmioty będą miały zapewniony dostęp do paszportów. Wdrożenie DPP wymaga interoperacyjności i długoterminowej dostępności. Przyczyni się to do zrównoważonego budownictwa i ograniczenia zużycia zasobów.

The role of leadership has become increasingly strategic, aiming to transform a group of individuals into a team aligned with a common goal and focused on achieving the collective good. This study analyses the impact of leadership and conflict management on organizational growth, when properly managed. The research was based on a literature review and on-site analysis of a team of thirty inventory analysts, led by two managers with different profiles: one with an autocratic style and the other with a democratic and liberal approach. The results indicate that different leadership styles directly influence team performance. Literature, combined with effective strategies, can drive organizational change, providing new perspectives and improving results. In addition, the continuous encouragement of learning, the leader's ability to influence and trustworthiness, as well as their active participation in the stages of the process, are essential factors for the development of team skills and organizational success. The research identifies as an important point that adequate training, combined with personalized leadership for the team to be led, is directly linked to increased team performance. As an indication for future work, approach the leader and their subordinates within the framework of human temperament, implementing the Dominance, Influence, Stability and Conformity (DISC) method.

Implications for theory and practice Adapting management models to the specifics of the sector or the individual needs of the organisation is key. Flexibility in the implementation of tools and methodologies allows companies to effectively face unique challenges and exploit opportunities offered by the market. Managers should be ready to adapt dynamically to change, enabling them not only to meet the quality criterion, but also to continuously adapt to the changing needs of customers and the business environment. In this way, organisations will be able to maintain their competitiveness and respond appropriately to rapid changes and market trends.

Space is a concept inherently linked to the management of SmartCity. Its key advantage lies in the possibility of mapping, which enables the integration of diverse information resources concerning the past, present, and future of urban systems. The article aims to highlight various aspects of applying spatial issues in city management, drawing on the concept of Regional Business Spatial Communities (RBSC). Within this framework, City Maps serve as a central element, designed to integrate local communities around shared data resources. Such resources may be visualised on different types of maps, both geographic and abstract, and supported by a range of technologies, including animations and simulations, augmented reality, the Internet of Things, drones, digital twins, and artificial intelligence. The specificity of the study is related to the indication of ways of integrating spatial technologies with modern ICT tools in order to support selected domains of SmartCity management. The practical applicability of the RBSC concept has been demonstrated in areas such as spatial planning and investments. Although research on collecting materials to improve RBSC has been conducted in Poland, the proposed solution may be applied across the European Union, owing to legal convergence and relevant directives, as well as in other countries where local governments hold comparable competencies and require adequate tools to perform their tasks.

Przestrzeń jest pojęciem nierozerwalnie związanym z zarządzaniem SmartCity. Jej kluczową zaletą jest możliwość mapowania, które umożliwia integrację zróżnicowanych zasobów informacyjnych dotyczących przeszłości, teraźniejszości i przyszłości systemów miejskich. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie różnych aspektów zastosowania zagadnień przestrzennych w zarządzaniu miastem, w oparciu o koncepcję Regional Business Spatial Communities (RBSC). W tym ujęciu centralnym elementem są City Maps, zaprojektowane jako narzędzie integrujące społeczności lokalne wokół wspólnych zasobów danych. Zasoby te mogą być wizualizowane na różnych typach map – zarówno geograficznych, jak i abstrakcyjnych – oraz wspierane przez szereg technologii, takich jak animacje i symulacje, rzeczywistość rozszerzona, Internet Rzeczy, drony, cyfrowe bliźniaki czy sztuczna inteligencja. Specyfika niniejszego opracowania wiąże się ze wskazaniem sposobów integracji technologii przestrzennych z nowoczesnymi narzędziami ICT w celu wsparcia wybranych obszarów zarządzania SmartCity. Praktyczna przydatność koncepcji RBSC została ukazana na przykładzie takich obszarów jak planowanie przestrzenne i inwestycje. Choć badania nad gromadzeniem materiałów w celu doskonalenia RBSC prowadzone były w Polsce, proponowane rozwiązanie może znaleźć zastosowanie w całej Unii Europejskiej – dzięki konwergencji prawnej i odpowiednim dyrektywom – jak również w innych krajach, w których samorządy lokalne posiadają porównywalne kompetencje i wymagają adekwatnych narzędzi do realizacji swoich zadań.

Historia lasów związanych z miastami sięga wczesnego średniowiecza, kiedy to kler i władcy feudalni, będący ich właścicielami, mieli zapewnione miejsca polowań i rekreacji oraz dostęp do surowca drzewnego. Początkowo były to lasy naturalne, które z czasem zastępowano lasami, parkami, ogrodami oraz zadrzewieniami posadzonymi przez człowieka. Od drugiej poł. XIX w. lasy w miastach zaczęły być stopniowo zarządzane przez władze miejskie i stawały się bardziej otwarte dla ogółu mieszkańców.
