Purpose: The aim of this article is to present the situation of the housing market in the face of the conditions resulting from the covid-19 pandemic. The research focuses on the phenomena that took place in the individual quarters of the years 2019-2021, i.e. just before the pandemic period, during the restrictive phase of the pandemic and just after the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach: Data for 16 cities, which are provincial capitals, were analysed. The source data comes from the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and the Report on the Situation on the Residential and Commercial Real Estate Market in Poland in 2019, 2020 and 2021 prepared by the National Bank of Poland. The methodology of the research was based on statistical methods, and a study was made of changes over time in the number of transactions made and average unit prices of residential units and rental rates, as well as the number of dwellings offered. Findings: The research shows that the market dynamics hardly slowed down during the pandemic period. In all surveyed cities, an increase in unit prices of residential units and a decrease in rental rates were observed in selected quarters of 2020. In 2021, the residential property market in the main cities in Poland was in an expansionary phase. The number of transactions made was strongly influenced by the ability to obtain mortgage loans. During the study period, the interest rate was at a significantly low level. On the basis of the research carried out, it must be concluded that the market that defended itself from the pandemic crisis was the residential market. This supports the finding that residential real estate is perceived as a relatively safe investment of capital, which has so far yielded higher rates of return compared to placing cash in safer assets such as Treasury bonds or bank deposits. Originality/value: The publication describes the behaviour of the residential property market during and immediately after the COVID 19 pandemic. Demand, supply and prices of residential units are analysed. The publication is aimed at those analysing the impact of pandemics and other unusual events on markets and real estate professionals.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyse the legal provisions regulating the acquisition of real estate by foreigners and to indicate the area of agricultural real estate acquired by foreigners in the years 2010-2021. The analysis attempts to describe the problems resulting from the lack of coherence between the Act on shaping the agricultural system and the Act on the acquisition of real estate by foreigners. Design/methodology/approach: The research methodology is based on an analysis of the existing legal and organisational regulations concerning the possibility of acquiring rights to real estate in the territory of the Republic of Poland. The authors have also reviewed the available literature in which authors have addressed issues related to the acquisition of real estate by foreigners. The annual reports made available by the Ministry of Interior and Administration on the implementation of the aforementioned Act were also used. Findings: Polish legislation favours the establishment and enlargement of family farms. At the same time, the law does not prohibit the running or enlargement of farms other than family farms, as persons running such farms may conclude agricultural land lease agreements or purchase land with the consent of the National Agricultural Support Centre. Importantly, foreigners from EU countries who decide to run an agricultural holding in Poland and obtain the status of an individual farmer have the same rights as Polish farmers with regard to not only the acquisition of agricultural land, but also direct payments, insurance in the Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (Kasa Rolniczego Ubezpieczenia Społecznego) or other rights and obligations related to agricultural activity in Poland. Originality/value: The publication addresses important issues concerning the acquisition of real estate in Poland by persons from both EU and non-EU countries. The subject matter is important in the context of the current socio-economic and political situation.

Purpose: The main purpose of this work is to analyze the attitudes, intentions and actions of young people in relation to educational programs on entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: The survey of respondents was conducted through popular social networks in the region by filling out a questionnaire on the Internet. The sample group consisted of 179 people aged 17-35 years. Findings: Young people who refused to take part in an educational program on entrepreneurship, as a rule, have no ideas or projects for business and are characterized by zero entrepreneurial activity. Respondents from this group, in comparison with others, have a poor understanding of the goals and objectives of startups, and are also less likely than others to choose an intensive training program. All this may indicate that the real reason for the refusal of young people to participate in paid training programs may be a lack of motivation and a clear understanding by respondents of their vision of themselves as an entrepreneur. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of this study are related to the fact that the survey was of a regional nature for the target group of 17-35 years. In this regard, its results cannot be generalized. The results we have obtained provide a reasonable basis for further research on barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Practical implications: The research results are qualitatively, analyzed feedback from young people on the problems of low entrepreneurial activity which can be used to develop government measures to stimulate the private sector. In addition, the results provide a reasonable basis for further research on the role and relationship of financial and educational barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Social implications: The results of the research allow us to revise the measures of youth policy aimed at increasing entrepreneurial activity through the formation of sustainable behavioral entrepreneurial intentions. Originality/value: This study is an independent and comprehensive analysis of the low activity of young people in educational programs in the field of entrepreneurship.

One of the sources of low competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is the relatively small ability to generate innovations. In view of the depletion of such sources of competitiveness in Poland as labour costs or the adaptation of external technologies, the low level of enterprise innovation is becoming a challenge. The system of supporting competitiveness and innovativeness in the SME sector must take into account the problem of insufficient capital for innovative activity - therefore, direct support should remain a key policy tool in the area of supporting innovation. The aim of the article is to assess the effects of innovation implementation by enterprises from the SME sector on the example of the Małopolska province. The authors focused mainly on the innovation activities planned by enterprises and on the sources of their financing, including subsidies for this purpose. The first stage, i.e. the selection of enterprises, was carried out in a targeted manner based on belonging to a separate SME sector. Then, in a random way, 262 enterprises were chosen from the database using the systematic selection. In order to obtain information, a method of in-depth interview using a questionnaire was used. This task was carried out using a categorized set of questions. The interview questionnaire allowed to gather information and numerical data in the following range: planning of the implementation of innovations, use of innovations in the company's development and sources of financing for the implementation of product, process or non-technological innovations.

One of the main problems in the context of environmental protection is the increase in the quantity of all types of waste, which is becoming more and more challenging to manage. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the environmental awareness of city residents on the management of waste living in multi-family or single-family housing. The city of Olsztyn was chosen for testing. Two housing estates in Olsztyn were selected for the study, one in single-family housing – Brzeziny, the other in multi-family housing – Osiedle Generałów. The primary variables were measured using a standardised interview questionnaire. It consisted of 21 closed and open questions. A total of 120 interviews were conducted with adults, 60 in each housing estate. Surveys have confirmed that residents are aware of the waste problems, but some issues require improvement of the environmental awareness and actions at the household level. Most of the respondents did not know the level of waste collection fees. This concerned mainly people living in single-family houses. The majority of the respondents stated that they segregated waste, but the inhabitants of single-family houses were more inclined to do so. The residents of both settlements segregated mainly paper, glass, and plastic. However, only the residents of single-family houses showed full segregation. Organic waste (BIO) was not a problem for the inhabitants of single-family houses (possibility of composting), but in the case of a multi-family building, it can be troublesome, as evidenced by a small percentage of respondents undertaking such actions. In the opinion of respondents from both housing estates, the waste collection and selection system is effective, and waste is collected systematically.

Jednym z głównych problemów w kontekście ochrony środowiska jest zwiększanie się ilości wszelkiego rodzaju odpadów, które są coraz trudniejsze do zagospodarowania. Celem artykułu jest ocena poziomu świadomości ekologicznej mieszkańców miasta na temat gospodarowania odpadami mieszkającymi w zabudowie wielorodzinnej lub jednorodzinnej. Do testowania wybrano miasto Olsztyn. Do badań wytypowano dwa osiedla mieszkaniowe w Olsztynie, jedno w zabudowie jednorodzinnej – Brzeziny, drugie w wielorodzinnej – Osiedle Generałów. Do pomiaru pierwotnego zmiennych wykorzystano standaryzowany kwestionariusz wywiadu. Zbudowany był z 21 pytań zamkniętych i otwartych. Przeprowadzono 120 wywiadów z osobami dorosłymi, po 60 w każdym z osiedli. Badania potwierdziły, że mieszkańcy są świadomi problemów związanych z odpadami, jednak w niektórych kwestiach konieczna jest poprawa stanu wiedzy oraz działań na poziomie gospodarstw domowych. Większość respondentów nie znała wysokości stawek opłat za odbiór odpadów. Dotyczyło to przede wszystkim osób zamieszkujących domy jednorodzinne. Większość badanych stwierdziło, że segreguje odpady, przy czym większą skłonność do takiego działania mieli mieszkańcy domów jedno-rodzinnych. Mieszkańcy obu osiedli segregowali przede wszystkim papier, szkło i plastik. Pełną segregację wykazali się jednak tylko mieszkańcy domów jednorodzinnych. Odpady organiczne (BIO) nie stanowiły problemu dla mieszkańców domów jednorodzinnych (możliwość kompostowania), jednak w przypadku budynków wielorodzinnych bywa to kłopotliwe o czym świadczy niewielki odsetek badanych podejmujących takie działania. W opinii respondentów z obu osiedli system odbioru i selekcji odpadów jest efektywny, a odpady odbierane są systematycznie.
