Purpose: The main purpose of the article is to assess the impact of regional variations in economic conditions on consumer attitudes and behavior during the crisis. The study was carried out using the example of Polish voivodeships. Design/methodology/approach: In order to implement the study goal formulated, an analysis of the indicators characterizing the economic and income situation of Polish voivodeships was conducted. The assessment of the crisis-related consumer attitudes and behaviors, including the regional variation thereof, was carried out based on a CATI survey of a randomly selected group of 1000 respondents in Poland, relative to 2023. The differentiation and disparity across voivodeships, with respect to the phenomena surveyed, was subjected to calculation. The surveyed objects were clustered using the Ward's method, to verify the impact of the economic differentiation and indicator levels on consumer attitudes and behavior during the crisis. Findings: Poland remains significantly regionally differentiated in terms of the economic level of voivodeships as well as household and consumer incomes. The crisis is clearly of no subsidy in reducing these disparities. Particularly substantial disparities are found between the poorest voivodships of eastern Poland and the richer ones of western Poland. The economic and income standing of the voivodeships is reflected in consumer attitudes and behavior. Concerns associated with the deterioration of the material position and income, often accompanied by reduced sense of security and stability of employment, are considerably more often expressed by residents of voivodeships characterized by inferior economic indicators and lower income. Research limitations/implications: The Implication behind the survey entailed the examination of whether the crisis has caused changes in the attitudes and behavior of Polish consumers, as well as whether their concerns and constraints have been influenced by the economic and income condition of the regions. Practical implications: The conclusions drawn in the study can serve as a useful tool for public and utility entity managers, enabling more effective application of remedial and intervention measures, relative to the residents of regions characterized by unfavorable economic conditions and crisis-related negative sentiment. Social implications: The article provides useful insights on the economic and income indicators, as well as the on impact of existing regional differences on consumer attitudes and behavior amid the crisis, which the voivodship managers as well as the central authorities in Poland should familiarize themselves with. Originality/value: The added value of the article lies in the evaluation of recent secondary and primary source data on the differences in the economic condition of the voivodeships in Poland, including the impact of these differences on consumer attitudes and behavior, relative to their work, financial situation and sense of security during the crisis.

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to elucidate the multifaceted nature of the carbon dioxide emissions dilemma and underscore the urgent need for concerted action to mitigate their adverse effects. Design/methodology/approach: This paper elucidates the methodology of footprint research, outlining its key components, approaches and principles. It encompasses a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on various methodologies and tools to explore alternative futures and identify strategic opportunities. Combining multiple methods has provided a more complete and detailed understanding of complex interactions. Findings: This study aims to analyse the main indicators of the impact of the ecological footprint on the state of the environment, to determine their dynamics over time, to assess the prospects of the negative impact of humanity on nature. Emissions of greenhouse gases are of particular importance in this analysis. Research limitations/implications: Ultimately, the goal is to inspire action and advocacy for policies and practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, social equity and resilience in the face of climate change. The implications of this study uderscore the importance of stakeholder engagement and adaptive management for effective integration. Originality/value: The footprint of carbon dioxide emissions encompasses a broad spectrum of impacts, spanning environmental, economic, and social dimensions. At its core, the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, largely attributed to human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels and widespread deforestation, triggers a cascade of consequences with far reaching implications. These results could be especially interesting for researchers whose studies are interdisciplinary.

Purpose: Assessing the impact of eleven components of social capital (SC) on economic development depending on the country's income level. Design/methodology/approach: The research covered 96 countries. They were divided in three groups composed of 32 economies, i.e., low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries. The impact of eleven elements of SC was examined in the period 2008-2020. The economic development measures were GDP pc and GNI pc. The research methods were the Spearman's rank correlation and cluster analysis. Findings: Social capital in high-income countries is a more important factor in increasing economic development compared to low-income and middle-income countries. In three income groups, the same four components of SC are statistically significant and positive: government effectiveness as defined by the World Bank, reliance on professional management, state of cluster development and willingness to delegate authority. These dimensions of social capital can be called strategic success factors on the road to prosperity. Research limitations/implications: The main limitations are the availability of data on larger groups of countries over a sufficient long time and obtainig free access to more detailed social capital indicators. In the future, the authors intend to focus on the links between various components of SC occurring at different stages of economic development. This knowledge should help to formulate more precise guidelines for planning policies of improving SC in private and public sectors. Social implications: The research results indicate that such dimension of SC as honesty, egalitarianism, equality of treatment, and democratic decision making should be adopted as patterns of behaviour in both private and public sectors and in cooperation between them. Without this, social development, which includes economic development, cannot be accelerated. This happens because it is reflected in improving the effectiveness of organisational arrangements applied at the national level and in companies. Originality/value: There is still a need for more comprehensive research on the impact of social capital on economic development. In response to this need, this study examined eleven components of SC. The hope is that this research approach will result in a more holistic view of how social capital can influence economic development.

The increase in the standard of living and economic development of cities and smaller settlement units implies the extension and modernization of infrastructure, including wastewater collection and treatment systems, which is closely related to the protection of surface water and groundwater. This study analyzes the effects of the modernization of two wastewater treatment plants carried out between 2019 and 2020. These are the municipal wastewater treatment plants for Rawicz and Kościan in the Wielkopolska region. The analysis of contamination indicators and wastewater treatment efficiency showed that in both plants, the modernization and extension of wastewater treatment and sludge treatment technologies resulted in improved treated wastewater parameters and better sludge preparation for use. The high efficiency of contaminant removal (mostly above 94%) improves the standard of living, intensifies care for the environment, and increases the attractiveness of the agglomerations served by the analyzed plants. The obtained results were confirmed by statistical tests.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to indicate the macroeconomic factors and their potential impact on the economy in the conditions of crises in the regional system in Poland and in peripheral areas of the regions, based on the example of the Mazowieckie province. Design/methodology/approach: The study includes theoretical research on the impact of macroeconomic phenomena on development processes and empirical research on changes in macroeconomic indicators in crisis conditions. The research covered 314 communes and 37 districts in Poland and in the Mazowieckie province. The analytical and descriptive method of the impact of changes on the socio-economic development was used. Findings: Theoretical research proves that macroeconomic instability affects the course of economic processes. The increase in interest rates and inflation may limit investment activity and reduce the efficiency of management. This poses a threat to the company's and state's performance. Empirical research has shown that in Poland there has been a deterioration in the economic situation in the regions and in the peripheral areas of the regions. Research limitations/implications: The broad context of economic and social changes resulting from many crisis phenomena is a difficult subject of research. There are serious difficulties in accessing reliable sources and the continuity of source data, which limits research opportunities. Practical implications: Identification of changes in factors adversely affecting development and leads to the need to monitor the macroeconomic situation and current changes taking place in enterprises, and indirectly relates to social changes. Hence, it is necessary to conduct further research in a systemic perspective and to take appropriate remedial measures. Social implications: The research revealed the influence of negative factors on the phenomena taking place in the economy. The effects are wide-ranging and there is a risk of worsening both nationally and globally. Specific changes in the social sphere, including lowering the standard of living, are a derivative of crisis phenomena. The social consequences are already visible, further effects may occur in the future. Originality/value: (mandatory) The article raises the problems of economic development in the face of crisis phenomena. The instability of development in the conditions of significant macroeconomic changes requires detailed analyzes of conditions and effects in the long term.

Bol is located on the island of Brač, therefore connecting Bol with the mainland or with the national road network is extremely important both for tourism and for the economy as a whole. Port Bol belongs to the ports of county significance and is managed by the Port Authority of Split-Dalmatia. In the town of Bol on Brač, there is a port open to public passenger traffic that connects the island of Brač with the mainland and the ports of the other islands. The existing port is characterized by limited capacity, dilapidation, and inadequate construction considering the demand of maritime traffic in the port. This paper will present the expansion of the port of Bol open to public traffic in order to create a high-quality harbor pier for public traffic, which would relieve the traffic burden of the city of Bol and the municipality of Bol and provide the local population with quality public transportation, which is currently not available, with as little as possible impact on the environment. The purpose of the project is not to make money, but to create content that will improve the quality of life of the local population and keep them in Bol in order to reduce the tendency of the "island dying". The local population is the main driver of the city's development and life. In order to improve the demographic picture, it is necessary to provide the local population with quality primary conditions for life and progress.

The optimal taxation level and tax structure depend on numerous factors and enormously differ from country to country. However, the two mentioned tax policy instruments could ensure economic recovery and sustainable economic growth. This article aims to examine the effects of tax policy on economic development and evaluate the role of appropriate tax instruments in speeding up recovery. The results showed that tax level harms the GDP per capita growth rate in Central Europe and Baltic states over the 2000-2021 period. Another vital finding is the increase in both overall employment and investment to GDP ratio positively affected the real GDP per capita growth rates. In order to foster economic growth government might use tax cuts and other stimuli both for distortionary and non-distortionary taxes. The tax policy’s institutional potential should be improved to neutralize the adverse effects of COVID-19 impact and enhance macroeconomic sustainability.

Ukraine’s commitments under the international framework agreements to reduce CO2 emissions and the Global Climate Change Initiative provide the basis for the implementation of bioeconomy mechanisms in the country’s Energy Development Strategy until 2035. One of the goals of this strategy is to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and switch to alternative fuels. The agriculture of Ukraine is assigned the leading role in ensuring the replacement of fossil fuels with biomass of plant origin. The bioenergy potential of the agro-industrial sector of the economy requires extensive research in order to determine and integrate it into the country’s energy sector. The essential characteristics of energy efficiency in the context of the cluster model of organizing the activities of enterprises for the production of biofuel as stable interactions of geographically concentrated economic entities are investigated in this article. Peculiarities of introduction of bioenergy clusters as stable interactions of geographically concentrated business entities (enterprises, suppliers and organizations, including scientific institutions, etc.) have been determined according to a pre-defined and agreed development strategy for all participants without exception at the stage of formation of which the competitive environment is supported taking into account the energy, ecological and socio-economic parameters of the sustainable development of territories. A model of a territorial bioenergy cluster for the production of biofuels from crops and waste was formed and the advantages of creating bioenergy clusters were analyzed. Furthermore, a matrix of a PEST analysis of the formation of bioenergy clusters in Ukraine was formed.

Zobowiązania Ukrainy wynikające z międzynarodowych umów ramowych dotyczących redukcji emisji CO2 oraz Global Climate Change Initiative stanowią podstawę do wdrożenia mechanizmów biogospodarki w Strategii Rozwoju Energetycznego kraju do 2035 roku. Jednym z celów tej strategii jest ograniczenie zużycia paliw kopalnych i przejście na paliwa alternatywne. Rolnictwu Ukrainy przypisuje się wiodącą rolę w zapewnieniu zastąpienia paliw kopalnych biomasą pochodzenia roślinnego. Potencjał bioenergetyczny sektora rolno-przemysłowego gospodarki wymaga szeroko zakrojonych badań w celu jego określenia i zintegrowania z energetyką kraju. W artykule zbadano podstawowe cechy efektywności energetycznej w kontekście klastrowego modelu organizacji działalności przedsiębiorstw do produkcji biopaliw jako stabilnych interakcji geograficznie skoncentrowanych podmiotów gospodarczych. Specyfika wprowadzania klastrów bioenergetycznych jako stabilnych interakcji skupionych geograficznie podmiotów gospodarczych (przedsiębiorstw, dostawców i organizacji, w tym instytucji naukowych itp.) została określona zgodnie z wcześniej zdefiniowaną i uzgodnioną strategią rozwoju dla wszystkich bez wyjątku uczestników, na etapie której wspierane jest kształtowanie konkurencyjnego otoczenia z uwzględnieniem parametrów energetycznych, ekologicznych i społeczno-ekonomicznych zrównoważonego rozwoju terytoriów. Stworzono model terytorialnego klastra bioenergetycznego do produkcji biopaliw z upraw i odpadów oraz przeanalizowano zalety tworzenia takich klastrów. Ponadto utworzono matrycę analizy PEST powstawania klastrów bioenergetycznych na Ukrainie.

The article examines the theoretical principles of studying sustainability and security of public budget of the Visegrad Group countries and determines that indicators of the normal functioning of the economy and ensuring a decent social standard of living of the population are reaching the limits of relevant indicators, some of which are approved by international standards. At the same time, the authors identified the absence of a single system of macrofinancial indicators of sustainability and security of public budget proposing to create it, including twelve ratios reflecting levels of debt security, deficit load on the economy, debt load on the population, budgetary independence, efficiency, population well-being, productivity, economic efficiency, as well as the effectiveness of financial support for health and education, elasticity of income and expenditure from the change in GDP of the Visegrad countries. Analytical calculations of the above-mentioned macro indicators in the dynamics made it possible to draw qualitative conclusions on compliance with the sustainability and security of public budget of the Visegrad Group countries, identify possible threats to national economies and prevent the consequences in case of non-compliance with standards. Based on the results of correlation-regression analysis, the authors determined the indicators that have the greatest impact on the resultant factor-the ratio of the level of deficit load on the economy of the investigated countries. It made it possible to analyze the real situation in the economy, to determine the level of sustainability and security of public budget and to give the necessary suggestions and recommendations.

A dense and modern road network determines the proper functioning of trade-in economically developed countries. The aim of this article is to assess the influence of individual road infrastructure components on their performance in terms of traffic flow. To obtain a complete and comprehensive description of the problem, a mixed method of quantitative data analysis was used based on available statistical databases including information on linear and nodal infrastructure operating in the European Union. In light of the problem under consideration, a multi-stage statistical analysis was conducted. Factor analysis and multiple linear regression were used to assess the heterogeneity of the data and estimate the parameters of the models to explain the various components of road infrastructure performance. In turn, based on the k-means classification analysis, groups of EU countries differing in road network performance were identified. The results indicated that the extracted road network factors contribute to improving the performance of road infrastructure in its various study areas.

Gdyby zastanowić się, czym jest klaster, to porównanie go do plastra, ale miodu, byłoby najbardziej sensownym, lecz nadal niepełnym jego zobrazowaniem. Klastry powstają praktycznie we wszystkich sektorach gospodarczych. Wspomagają innowacyjność i wzmacniają konkurencyjność, aktywizując przy tym ekspansję na rynkach zagranicznych. Rosnąca liczba klastrów świadczy o poprawie koniunktury gospodarczej kraju. Zgodnie z definicją, klaster to geograficzne skupisko wzajemnie powiązanych przedsiębiorstw, wyspecjalizowanych dostawców, jednostek usługowych, firm działających w pokrewnych sektorach i związanych z nimi instytucji (uniwersytetów, jednostek badawczych i normalizacyjnych oraz stowarzyszeń branżowych) w poszczególnych dziedzinach, konkurujących lub współpracujących ze sobą. Zapewne takimi organizacjami będą powstające teraz klastry wodorowe czy też doliny wodorowe, gdyż bliskość geograficzna podmiotów jest w tym przypadku istotna.

Ensuring the safety of its citizens is the basic duty of every state. In addition to military and political aspects, economic factors largely shape its level. Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME), as an economical category, have become the subject of interest of both economic and security sciences. This was a natural consequence of the economic transformation process, which along with large state-owned enterprises, resulted in the creation of MSME forming the foundations of the private sector in the economy. The main purpose of the study is to identify and analyze factors conditioning the competitiveness and entrepreneurship of MSME and to assess functioning in aspects of their influence on economic security. The research was carried out using methods of logical inference, critical analysis of the literature on the subject, and above all, using the method of expert assessment (Delphi method). The expert assessment method belongs to the group of heuristic methods. The essence of heuristic methods is to come to new solutions by formulating hypotheses. Due to the research area covering two scientific disciplines: management and quality science and security science, the adopted scientific methods have allowed for objective conduct of the research process. As research shows, it is thanks to MSME that the economy owes its growth and ensuring its uninterrupted functioning, which translates into Poland's economic security.

Zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa swoim obywatelom jest podstawowym obowiązkiem każdego państwa. Oprócz aspektów militarnych i politycznych na jego poziom w dużej mierze wpływają czynniki ekonomiczne. Mikro, Małe i Średnie Przedsiębiorstwa (MMSP) jako kategoria ekonomiczna stały się przedmiotem zainteresowań zarówno nauk ekonomicznych, jak i nauk o bezpieczeństwie. Było to naturalną konsekwencją procesu transformacji gospodarczej, który wraz z dużymi przedsiębiorstwami państwowymi doprowadził do powstania MMSP stanowiących podwaliny sektora prywatnego w gospodarce. Głównym celem badania jest identyfikacja i analiza czynników warunkujących konkurencyjność i przedsiębiorczość MMSP oraz ocena funkcjonowania w aspektach ich wpływu na bezpieczeństwo ekonomiczne. Badania przeprowadzono metodami wnioskowania logicznego, krytycznej analizy literatury przedmiotu, a przede wszystkim metodą oceny eksperckiej (metoda Delphi). Metoda oceny eksperckiej należy do grupy metod heurystycznych. Istotą metod heurystycznych jest dochodzenie do nowych rozwiązań poprzez formułowanie hipotez. Ze względu na obszar badawczy obejmujący dwie dyscypliny naukowe: naukę o zarządzaniu i naukę o jakości oraz naukę o bezpieczeństwie, przyjęte metody naukowe pozwoliły na obiektywne prowadzenie procesu badawczego. Jak pokazują badania, to właśnie dzięki MMSP gospodarka zawdzięcza swój wzrost i zapewnienie jej nieprzerwanego funkcjonowania, co przekłada się na bezpieczeństwo ekonomiczne Polski.
