Social Awareness of the Circular Economy as an Integral Part of Sustainable Development. Observations from Poland

Lewandowska Aleksandra, Rogatka Krzysztof, Lopata Ewelina

Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports

2022

Vol. 32, no. 2

132--153

Sustained growth in the number of urban dwellers means that matters concerning the development of modern cities are not only a challenge for current residents, but a global test for the entire population. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and assess social awareness regarding sustainable development, with particular emphasis on matters concerning the circular economy. The study was conducted by means of the CAWI (Computer Assisted (Aided) Web Interviews) method on a sample of 389 respondents from Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. The results imply that although the society has a correct understanding of sustainable development and the circular economy, there is still a continuing need to support further education due to the necessity for wider and more intensive implementation of sustainable development in practice.

Horticultural therapy in greenery design. Example of the “Światło” hospice in Toruń

Rogatka Krzysztof, Ziemkiewicz Katarzyna

Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports

2020

Vol. 30, no. 3

1--22

The aim of the article is to present the method of horticultural therapy (gardening therapy) and its application in designing green areas using the example of the sensory garden at the “Światło” hospice in Toruń. The issue of horticultural therapy and its use in shaping green areas was raised due to the important role of greenery in human life (e.g. they absorb pollutants, produce oxygen, perform an insulating function) and the growing importance of horticultural therapy in the design of usable areas. The final effect of this research process is the design of a sensory garden based on horticultural therapy. The concept uses selected types of greenery which, through their properties, have a positive effect on the well-being and health of patients and, indirectly, the inhabitants of the entire city.
