Purpose: The purpose of this article is to present the disparities of Poland's economic development in 2000-2020 by NUTS-2 units, using selected economic indicators. Design/methodology/approach: The following methods are used in the article: critical literature analysis and statistical data analysis using selected statistical tools. Based on data obtained from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland (GUS), the level of regional characteristics is calculated such as: the output of production (GDP), GDP per capita and the value and share of the industrial sector in the total output. The analysis covered 16 Provinces in the period of 2000-2020. Findings: The analysis of selected variables in the analyzed years confirmed the regional disparities in Poland between Provinces, and the leading role of the Mazowieckie Province. Research limitations/implications: The research performed in the article represents only one aspect of the assessment of regional disparities. The complete research picture can be obtained by using other tools of statistical analysis and additional variables of socio-economic and environmental development. Practical implications: Knowledge of the mechanisms and regularities of regional development is the basis for the formation of policies that would ensure, on the one hand, high and sustainable development dynamics and, on the other, lead to the reduction of regional inequalities. Social implications: Regional inequalities, manifested through social inequalities, are a natural and - to some extent - acceptable phenomenon. However, excessive economic inequalities lead to conflicts and tensions in societies. Therefore, one of the objectives of economic and social policy of the state should be the reduction of regional inequalities to achieve sustainable development and improvement of the quality of life in the country. Originality/value: The analysis herein used the most recent statistical data of selected variables and statistical tools. Thus, it can be another element towards recognizing the regularities of regional disparities in the Polish economy at the regional level.

Purpose: Bioeconomy is a contemporary concept of economic development. It means focusing on increasing economic efficiency through a more extensive use of renewable environmental resources. The implementation of this concept causes structural changes in the economy and consumption at both macro, regional and local levels. The bioeconomy refers to the concept of sustainable development. The level of development of bioeconomy is important in enhancing regional cohesion in terms of economic and social development. The bioeconomy is the subject of both conceptual research and structural decision-making in economic development. The purpose of the article is to present economic diversification in Poland in 2010-2019 in relation to selected aspects of bioeconomy development. Design/methodology/approach: In order to construct the indicator of the level of bioeconomy development in the regions, statistical characteristics were selected and weighted using a formula that favored the characteristics with the highest variability. Then, to illustrate the level of bioeconomy, a synthetic indicator was constructed to divide the regions into three categories: low-development regions, developing regions and developed regions. Findings: The level of bioeconomy development in Polish regions shows great variation in both bioeconomy resources, economic indicators for the bioeconomy and innovation in the production process. Dispersion coefficient of regional level of bioeconomy points to the ongoing processes of regional divergence in the bioeconomy in Poland. Efficiency in the use of available resources, including the degree of renewable energy use and the level of innovation in the regions, was the most important factor in the development of the bioeconomy during the study period. Research limitations/implications: The use of statistical methods should be comprehensive in order to present a picture of the subject of the research from multiple perspectives and the findings regarding other areas. Hence the need to use research methods that take into account the interdependence between different factors affecting socio-economic development both on a national and regional scale. Practical implications: The development of bioeconomy is undoubtedly a factor influencing the socio-economic development of regions. However, it is not the only developmental stimulator. The activities of both national and regional authorities should be diversified, based on supporting various types of economic activity and investing in different branches and industries. A holistic approach to the issue of regional disparities that takes into account the bioeconomy can lead to a narrowing of the development gap between different regions in the country. Social implications: The development of bioeconomy is an opportunity to improve the quality of life and living conditions for the inhabitants of regions with resource potential and openness to apply new solutions and technologies in this area. Originality/value: An attempt to identify the level of bioeconomy development in dynamic terms and its relationship to the positioning of regions in terms of the level of socio-economic development.

The purpose of the work is to identify the causes and estimate regional disproportions using the method based on the use of the ratio of the dynamics of the indicator of Gross regional product per capita of the regions and the average for the districts in which they are included. Based on the application of this method, the following conclusions were obtained: 1) the availability of natural resources from the regions is not a key factor in eliminating regional disparities; 2) financial support from the federal government of some regions led to the formation of a regional dependency on it.

Celem artykułu jest zidentyfikowanie przyczyn i oszacowanie dysproporcji regionalnych przy użyciu metody opartej na wykorzystaniu wskaźnika dynamiki, wskaźnika produktu regionalnego brutto na mieszkańca regionów i średniej dla obszarów, w których są one uwzględnione. Na podstawie zastosowania tej metody otrzymano następujące wnioski: 1) dostępność zasobów naturalnych z regionów nie jest kluczowym czynnikiem w eliminowaniu dysproporcji regionalnych; 2) wsparcie finansowe rządu federalnego niektórych regionów doprowadziło do powstania zależności regionów od rządu.

Public participation is a critical aspect in the planning, also spatial planning. Its role is changing dramatically as it is present not only in social development but also tackles issues connected with cultural, educational. The most important element in participation is the will to do it – to engage in the process of planning the of life, of new urban communities, and how it is taking place in the planning process at different levels/ scales. There is a need to strengthen the public participation in the Egyptian context. Consequently, there are many cases in public participation related to the different levels (metropolitan, city, action area), connected to urban issues, besides, the sectoral issues related to economic development and societal needs. Thus, there is still a gap between existing national policies and their implementation at local level. The important question is how to achieve the local needs with strategies prepared on upper-level agencies. The main problem, in addition to the environmental issues is the regional disparities, poverty illustrated by low human development index. The research aim is to determine general framework and rules of citizen participation in Egypt by illustrating many cases from Egyptian context, and to examine the process and assess their effectiveness and the paper will end with the policy changes.
