Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify and evaluate endogenous conditions for the development of non-agricultural economic activity in rural communes of eastern and western regions of Poland Design/methodology/approach: The article identifies and evaluates endogenous conditions for the development of non-agricultural economic activity in rural communes of eastern and western regions of Poland. The empirical material of the article concerns both all rural communes in the country and all rural communes in the eastern and western regions of Poland. The figures come from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw and concern the years 2020-2021. The empirical material collected and ordered was developed in descriptive, tabular, and graphical form, using comparative analysis. In addition, a score assessment was made of all diagnostic features illustrating the endogenous determinants of the development of non-agricultural economic activity in rural communes of eastern and western regions of Poland against the background of the entire country for 2021. Findings: The analysis of statistical data confirmed the research hypothesis, which assumes that the activity of inhabitants of rural communes in eastern and western regions of Poland in the development of non-agricultural economic activity is diverse and shows a relationship with the quality of its endogenous conditions, with these conditions being clearly the best in units with high activity of inhabitants in this regard. Originality/value: The originality of the work lies in the approach to the analysis of the research issues undertaken. For the purposes of research, the author's indicator of activity of residents in the development of non-agricultural economic activity in a given local government unit (commune) against the background of the country and other local government units (communes) was compiled and used. In addition, a point assessment of endogenous conditions for the development of non-agricultural economic activity in the surveyed local government units against the background of the country was made. The work is directed primarily to local government officials responsible for the conditions, opportunities, and directions of local socioeconomic development of rural communes in Poland.

Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify and assess the diversification of the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland. Design/methodology/approach: The article identifies and assesses the diversification of the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland. The empirical material used in the article concerns both the whole country and six voivodeships of eastern and western Poland, i.e. Lubelskie, Podkarpackie and Podlaskie as well as Dolnośląskie, Lubuskie and Zachodniopomorskie. The figures come from the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw (Social Cohesion Survey). The empirical material collected and ordered was developed in tabular and graphical form, using comparative analysis. Furthermore, all diagnostic features illustrating the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland were scored against the background of the entire country, which is a new approach to the research problem undertaken in the article. Findings: The statistical data confirmed the research hypothesis presented in the article, assuming that households in the western regions of Poland are in a better financial situation than in the eastern regions, although there is variation in this respect between individual voivodeships of these regions. Originality/value: The originality of the work lies in the author's approach to the analysis of the research issues and the assessment of the financial situation of households in the eastern and western regions of Poland against the background of the entire country. The work is addressed primarily to politicians at the central level, as well as to local government officials responsible for the conditions, opportunities and directions of regional socioeconomic development, as well as to other decision makers implementing regional development policy in Poland.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify and assess changes in the financial situation of cities with poviat rights in Poland against the background of the entire country in 2010-2021. Design/methodology/approach: The article identifies and assesses changes in the financial situation of cities with poviat rights in Poland against the background of the entire country in 2010-2021. The empirical material of the article concerns both the entire country and all cities with poviat rights in Poland. The figures come from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw and concern the years 2010-2021. The collected and ordered empirical material was developed in a descriptive, tabular, and graphical form, using the method of comparative analysis, with comparisons made in time and space. In addition, all diagnostic features illustrating the financial situation of cities with poviat rights in Poland against the background of the entire country for the years 2010-2021 were assessed, which is a new approach to the research problem addressed in the article. Findings: The analysis of statistical data confirmed the research hypothesis, which assumes that cities with poviat rights in Poland are slightly differentiated in terms of their financial situation and its changes over time, while the very fact of the presence of a city, especially a larger one, is an important factor that positively and permanently affects this situation. Originality/value: The originality of the work lies in the author's approach to the analysis of the research issues undertaken. The point assessment of the financial situation of the surveyed local government units against the background of the country was carried out. The work is addressed primarily to local government officials responsible for public local government finances, as well as for the conditions, opportunities and directions of local socio-economic development of cities with poviat rights in Poland.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify and assess the differentiation of the financial situation of communes without cities with poviat status in terms of changes in the number of their inhabitants in the eastern and western regions of Poland. Design/methodology/approach: Identification and evaluation of the diversification of the financial situation of communes without cities with poviat status in terms of changes in the number of their inhabitants in the eastern and western regions of Poland. The empirical material of the article consists of figures from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw for the years 1995 and 2018-2020. They apply both to the entire country and to all municipalities without cities with poviat rights, located in six voivodships of eastern and western Poland, i.e., Lubelskie, Podkarpackie and Podlaskie as well as Dolnośląskie, Lubuskie and Zachodniopomorskie. The collected and structured empirical material was developed in a descriptive, tabular, and graphic form, using the method of comparative analysis. Additionally, a score was made of all diagnostic features illustrating the financial situation of the analyzed local government units in the eastern and western regions of Poland against the background of the entire country for 2018-2020. Findings: The analysis of statistical data showed that changes in the number of population (inhabitants) constitute essential demographic conditions for the economy and financial situation of municipalities without poviat status in the analyzed regions of Poland. It also confirmed the research hypothesis, which assumes that communes in western regions of Poland are in a better financial situation compared to eastern regions, especially those with an increase in the number of inhabitants. Originality/value: The originality of the work is based on the author's approach to the analysis of the undertaken research issues and making a point evaluation of the financial situation of the examined local government units. The work is addressed primarily to local government officials responsible for local government public finances and the possibilities and directions of local socioeconomic development, as well as to decision-makers who implement regional development policy in Poland.

Purpose: The aim of the study is to identify and to assess barriers to the purchase of organic food from local producers in the opinion of consumers. Three groups of barriers were analyzed, i.e. product-related barriers, barriers related to consumers and barriers related to the communication process, depending on such consumer characteristics as: gender, age, education, place of residence and wealth. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis includes the opinions of all surveyed consumers of organic food and, for comparison, the opinions of a selected group of consumers who buy a local product. The empirical material of the work consists of the results of a survey conducted among 850 organic food consumers in Poland. The research was conducted in December 2020 using the CAWI method. Findings: The research shows that, among the barriers to purchasing organic food from local producers analyzed in this paper, barriers related to the product, including its high price, are of the greatest importance for consumers, which especially applies to consumers buying local organic food products. On the other hand, the remaining barriers, i.e. those related to consumers and the communication process, are of little importance for the surveyed consumers. Originality/value: The article presents the barriers to the purchase of organic food from local producers, three groups of barriers were analyzed, i.e. product-related barriers, barriers related to consumers and barriers related to the communication process.

This paper aims to assess the significance of organic food purchases by consumers in Poland – motivated by supporting the local economy – against the background of other factors shaping consumer behaviour. The empirical material consists of a survey among 850 organic food consumers in Poland. The empirical material was analysed using Pearson’s chi-squared test of independence and the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test. The study shows that supporting the local economy appears to be an essential motive for its purchase for a large group of organic food consumers. The only factor significantly differentiating the two groups of consumers (motivated or not motivated by supporting the local economy) was the level of family income. The study allowed us to conclude that among consumers motivated by supporting the local economy, attitudes described as reflexive localism (the motive of supporting the local economy associated with concern for the natural environment) predominate.

Celem pracy jest ocena znaczenia zakupów żywności ekologicznej przez konsumentów w Polsce – motywowanych wspieraniem lokalnej gospodarki – na tle innych czynników kształtujących zachowania konsumentów. Materiał empiryczny stanowią wyniki badań ankietowych wśród 850 konsumentów żywności ekologicznej w Polsce. Analizę materiału empirycznego przeprowadzono z wykorzystaniem testu niezależności chi-kwadrat Pearsona i testu nieparametrycznego U-Manna-Whitneya. Z badań wynika, że dla dużej grupy konsumentów żywności ekologicznej wspieranie lokalnej gospodarki okazuje się ważnym motywem jej zakupu. Jedynym czynnikiem znacząco różnicującym obie grupy konsumentów (motywowani bądź nie wspieraniem lokalnej gospodarki), był poziom dochodów rodziny. Badania pozwoliły stwierdzić, że wśród konsumentów motywowanych wspieraniem lokalnej gospodarki dominują postawy określane jako reflexive localism (motyw wspierania lokalnej gospodarki powiązany z dbałością o środowisko przyrodnicze). Niezależnie jednak od tego jak ważne znaczenie w podejmowaniu decyzji o zakupie żywności ekologicznej miały oba z wymienionych motywów, najważniejszym motywem pozostawała troska o zdrowie, natomiast marginalne oddziaływanie miały moda i opinie znajomych.
