Theoretical background: The article discusses the activities of organizations located in Poland in the field of sustainable development (SD). This is a specific development, which considers the needs of future generations. These activities may concern environmental, social or economic issues. The identified knowledge gap refers to the type of the most common SD-activities, possible partners in such projects, employee involvement and motivation to participate in such activities, and the perceived advantages and negative aspects of SD-projects.Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to evaluate the activities of organizations located in Poland in the field of sustainable development. The described issues include: the type of the most common SD-activities, possible partners in such projects, employee involvement and motivation to participate in such activities, and the perceived advantages and negative aspects of SD-projects.Research methods: The empirical material was obtained from 13 individual in-depth interviews conducted by telephone in 2018.Main findings: The analysed organizations implemented mainly social, but also ecological projects. By the implementation of projects, they cooperated mainly with NGO-partners, but only if it was necessary (e.g. if the NGO had more knowledge and experience in a specific field). Most of the projects were based on the active participation of employees in the form of volunteering; such projects had the most positive effects for the project’s goals, but also for the employees and the company. Hence, companies willingly motivated employees to participate in such projects not only by informational and organizational support, but also through various methods of distinguishing employees (e.g. volunteering gala, cup of coffee with the CEO). Companies see considerable benefits in such projects for themselves and for the staff. The perceived disadvantages are few, and in any case they can be minimized and are fully discounted by the potential benefits.

The purpose of this study has been to identify the degree of sustainability in the development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury. The theoretical and empirical investigations were conducted between 2003–2014 based on data from the Local Data Bank. Using a comparative indicator method, 20 indicators were developed, with different directions of preference. The evaluation involves the concept of uniform preference, hence the higher the assessment indicator, the better the situation in the evaluated area unit. Our studies on the sustainable development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury suggest that the indicators measuring the environmental dimension and consequently the quality of life of the residents (in this aspect) score higher than the country’s average values. It is also optimistic that some progress, however small, can be seen in this area based on the analyzed dynamics of changes.

The topic dealt with in the paper is very timely and has assumed major importance from the viewpoint of development of research into economies based on sustainable development and application of research findings in specific solutions in the economy. The paper postulates that innovation is a fundamental and necessary instrument for implementing sustainable development throughout the whole economy. In order to confirm the thesis, first the paper attempts to identify the role of innovation in various areas of the economy. Secondly, it identifies the sources of innovation and areas of the economy which most require new innovative solutions. The study is based on literature, both domestic and foreign. The author analyses theoretical and empirical publications available on the market. Older publications turned out to be necessary and helpful in describing the evolution of the approach to sustainable development of the economy from a historical point of view. Newer works provide a basis for the compilation of a vast majority of the paper. The paper is a preliminary step in a more detailed research into various aspects of an economy based on sustainable development.

Sociology has taken a ‘back seat’ in much of the debate, within policy and social science circles, about ‘post-carbon’ societies, in which our dependence on hydrocarbons is significantly reduced. The low profile of sociology does not reflect a lack of relevance, but rather an inability to follow up on the debates being generated in several congruent areas, including geography, international relations and particularly environmental economics. Sociology has much to contribute to the discussion of societal alternatives, not least in the work being undertaken on utopias and governance. It is suggested that sociologists can enhance the role of the social science disciplines, and that of sociology in particular, by re-engaging in the wider discussions, lending a hermeneutic understanding to the current policy debates about responding to climate change.

Celem artykułu koncepcyjnego jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy dzisiejszy poziom rozwoju koncepcji „dobrego rządzenia” może już stanowić silny fundament dla zrównoważonego rozwoju, czy też stanowi jedynie jedno z licznych narzędzi tego procesu? Cel ten został osiągnięty przez analizę polskiej i zagranicznej literatury przedmiotu oraz wnikliwą analizę wyników najnowszych badań w tym obszarze. Artykuł rozpoczęto od przedstawienia rozwoju koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju na przestrzeni ostatniego półwiecza z perspektywy ONZ oraz Unii Europejskiej. Następnie omówiono założenia koncepcji dobrego rządzenia z perspektywy Banku Światowego, który uznaje się za jej twórcę, oraz Unii Europejskiej, która wdrożyła wiele wskaźników dobrego rządzenia umożliwiających ocenę standardów rządzenia na poziomie całej UE i jej poszczególnych członków. Na zakończenie dokonano oceny roli koncepcji dobrego rządzenia w procesie wdrażania zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju na świecie.

The aim of this conceptual article is an attempt to answer the question if the today’s level of development of the concept of good government may already be a solid foundation for sustainable development, or it is merely one of numerous tools of this process. The aim is achieved by a review of Polish and foreign literature of the subject as well as a thorough analysis of the recent research findings in this area. The article begins from the presentation of the elaboration of the concept of sustainable development over the last half-century from the perspective of the United Nations and the European Union. Next, there are discussed the premises of the good governance concept from the perspective of the World Bank which is considered to be the creator thereof, and the European Union, which has implemented a number of good governance indices enabling assessment of the standards of governance at the level of entire EU and its individual member states. Finally, the author assessed the role of the concept of good governance in the process of implementation of the principles of sustainable development across the world.

The aim of the article is to identify the place of the sharing phenomenon in the concept of sustainable development. Thus far, attempts to address the sharing phenomenon are very rarely connected with the concept of sustainable development. According to the author, considerations in this area should be based on the theory of sustainable economic development. This would be the best starting point for juxtaposing the sharing phenomenon with the classic conception of the market and its key concepts, such as homo oeconomicus.

Celem artykułu jest określenie miejsca zjawiska współdzielenia w koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju. Dotychczas podejmowane w literaturze przedmiotu próby bliższego przedstawienia zjawiska współdzielenia rzadko wiązane są ze zrównoważonym rozwojem. Zdaniem autora rozważania w tym obszarze powinny opierać się między innymi na ukształtowanej teorii ekonomii zrównoważonego rozwoju – stanowić punkt wyjścia zestawienia zjawiska współdzielenia z klasycznym ujęciem rynku i funkcjonującymi w nim pojęciami, takimi jak homo oeconomicus.

Ogród w Tychach jest przykładem inicjatywy, która łączy edukację na temat środowiska naturalnego z działaniami praktycznymi na rzecz lokalnej społeczności. Ma zapewnić dzieciom i młodzieży bezpieczną przestrzeń do spotykania się, zabawy, umożliwić bezpośredni kontakt z Matką Naturą w miejskim otoczeniu. Ogród, choć nie jest dużą przestrzenią, to jednak daje uczniom możliwość oddziaływania na środowisko i brania za nie odpowiedzialności. Wprowadzenie elementów projektowania architektonicznego do zajęć pozalekcyjnych, które było założeniem opisanego projektu, dało impuls do rozpoczęcia prac na terenie wokół SOSW w Tychach.

The garden in Tychy is an example of an initiative combining environmental education with practical activities supporting local society. It was designed to ensure children and teenagers a safe area for meeting, playing, being in direct contact with the Mother Nature in the cityscape. The garden, not so large though, makes it possible for the students to influence the environment and feel responsible for it. The introduction of architectural design elements to extracurricular classes, which was the assumption of the project described above, was an incentive to start works at the area around SOSW in Tychy.

Środowisko, w którym miasto powstaje i rozwija się, miało zawsze i ma nadal ogromne znaczenie, a funkcja mieszkaniowa jest w nim podstawowa, bowiem najważniejszą grupą użytkowników miasta są jego mieszkańcy. Dlatego działania w zakresie kształtowania i realizacji inwestycji mieszkaniowych, zgodne ze współczesnymi zasadami projektowania zrównoważonego, powinny prowadzić do takich rozwiązań, które nie tylko chronią i oszczędzają zasoby środowiska, ale i poprawiają jego jakość. Takie proekologiczne podejście jest dzisiaj nie tylko pożądane, lecz konieczne - nie tyle do funkcjonowania, oblicza i klimatu miasta, ile do możliwości życia w nim współczesnych i przyszłych pokoleń. Realna polityka w miastach polskich, niestety, nie sprzyja zrównoważonym inwestycjom mieszkaniowym, a nawet nie stosuje szeroko sprawdzonych, już wybranych proekologicznych elementów, chociażby w zakresie oszczędności wody i energii. Dowodem na to jest fakt, że elementy te nie pojawiają się w nowych ofertach mieszkaniowych, zarówno budowy zespołów jednorodzinnych, jak i wielorodzinnych - także między innymi i w nowych ofertach inwestycyjnych na obszarze Krakowa.

The environment a city comes into being and develops in has been extremely significant. The housing function is basic because the inhabitants of a city make the most important group of its users. Therefore, according to the contemporary principles of sustainable design, actions within the shaping and implementing of housing investments ought to lead to solutions which protect and save the environment's resources as well as improve its quality. These days, such an ecological attitude is desirable and necessary - not just for the functioning, image and climate of a city but for the lives of contemporary and future generations. Unfortunately, practical politics in Polish cities is not conducive to sustainable housing investments. It does not use any proven ecological elements, like those in water and energy saving. It is exemplified by the fact that these elements are not present in new housing offers of detached and multifamily buildings - in new investment offers in Kraków, either.

W ostatnich latach obserwujemy nowe spojrzenie na miasto i jego wartość dla człowieka. Różne zjawiska degradacji przestrzeni miejskich obligują do ich regeneracji zgodnie z zasadami rozwoju zrównoważonego. Rewitalizacja nie ogranicza się do zachowania istniejących czy tradycyjnych form kompozycji urbanistycznych, ale obejmuje inne działania będące częścią świadomej polityki przestrzennej w skali miasta. Zgodnie z wizją miasta XXI wieku ma ona polegać na tworzeniu zrównoważonego, indywidualnego krajobrazu miejskiego przez ochronę i planowanie wszystkich głównych elementów środowiska zamieszkania i dziedzictwa kulturowego.

In recent years, the city and its value for the human being have been looked at from a new perspective. Degradation of the urban space creates the obligation to regenerate it in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. Revitalisation is not limited to the maintenance of the existing or traditional forms of urban composition, but also involves other activities which are part of a conscious urban planning policy at the city scale. In accordance with the vision of the 21st century city, the policy should consist in creating a sustainable, individual cityscape through protection and planning of all major elements of the living environment and the cultural heritage.
