Purpose: The aim of this article is to assess the importance of European Union funds in the development of the regions, with an emphasis on the benefits of obtaining funding under the Regional Operational Programme (ROP) for the Podkarpackie voivodship. Design/methodology/approach: In collecting empirical material for the article, the method of economic and general statistics was used. The temporal scope of the research covers the years 2014-2020, some issues in the field of the effects of cohesion policy support for regional development were shown in the years 2004-2020. The rationale for the location of the research is the peripheral location of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship and the related problems concerning the low level of economic growth and development, the lowest entrepreneurship rate, the low level of income of local governments and residents. Findings: The research has shown that the analysed province has narrowed the gap to the national average, thanks to investments in the development of technical and social infrastructure, renewable energy sources, innovation in enterprises and improvements in the quality of human and social capital. Originality/value: The article presents the use of EU financial resources supporting cohesion policy by the Podkarpackie local government in the form of the Regional Operational Programme 2014-2020 and the effects of the support based on selected indicators, including the author’s absorption indicator.

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.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to evaluate the significance of European Union funds for the development of the regions of Eastern Poland, by focusing on the benefits of obtaining this type of financial support Design/methodology/approach: When collecting empirical material for the article, the method of economic and general statistics was used. The time range of the research covers the years 2004-2018. The rationale for the location of the research is the peripheral location of Eastern Poland voivodeships and the related problems of low growth and economic development, low population density, and low income of local governments and residents. Moreover, this part of Poland benefits from a special European Union Program that financially supports the development of the researched regions. Findings: The research has showed that all voivodships of Eastern Poland narrowed their distance to the national average as it was there that the influence of the cohesion policy on the pace of development was the strongest. Originality/value: The article presents the use of European Union funds, supporting the cohesion policy implemented by local governments in Eastern Poland and the effects of support based on selected indicators, including the absorption rate developed by the present author.
