Purpose: The aim of this work is to present and implement social innovation management. The aim of the research is to present the expectations of rural residents in relation to the offer of new social services and their attitudes towards the proposition of farms providing care services. The activity of such farms is consistent with the concepts of social innovation. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis uses a questionnaire survey conducted in 2019 and completed by 500 farmers from all across Poland. The surveyed population consisted of farming households in Poland, representing each of the six regions (by NUTS classification). The respondents were members of farming households, most frequently the farm owners. Findings: There is little interest in setting up care farms at present, even though rural residents do recognise the needs of older people. One of the barriers to the development of this new idea is the traditional family model, in which older family members are cared for by younger, fit family members. However, if such a farm were to operate, it would be most important for it to offer professional help with health and care issues. Persons who are considering the possibility of developing their farm to include care activities would need support from the local authorities, especially financial assistance. Research limitations/implications: The sampling scheme applied, and the sufficiently large sample size met the criterion of quota representativeness for the structure of farm households in Poland in terms of subregions, as well as in terms of the gender of adult members of the surveyed households. It was not, however, a representative sample of the total adult population of rural areas. Social implications: Management of social innovations such as care farms requires identification in detail of those factors that support their implementation, as well as those that constitute barriers to their implementation. This article presents these findings in regard to entities considering the introduction of care services, as well as the potential beneficiaries of these services. Originality/value: The research is original due to the early stage of research related to the design of care farms in Poland.

The article attempts to identify opportunities to improve the quality of life of older people by implementing smart city solutions. Literature research presented in it contains answers to the following questions: what is planned to be achieved as a result of the smart city concept implementation, why this concept is implemented, who participates in this task and how to achieve the expected result of smart city implementation. In response to the first and second question, attention is paid to the needs of older people – smart city solutions exploitators, associated with a specific type of transport, which must be met to achieve quality of life at a certain level. The answer to the third question is an indication of the participants, such as designers, constructors, producers of solutions in the area of the smart city, as well as their exploiters. The last ones may be customers of transport organizations (passengers, users of the water supply system), users (drivers) and maintainers of transport means. Participants in transport systems – local authorities responsible for its functioning as well as the management of the transport company – may also participate in the discussed participation. Tasks that should be given to individual participants in the process of meeting needs have been defined. It was also pointed out that their role should not focus solely on technical aspects, but social participation is of particular importance, on which the quality of life of people in society depends.

Wśród istotnych problemów współczesności należy wyróżnić starzenie się społeczeństw. Przekroczenie przez człowieka wieku 50 lat może się wiązać z pogorszeniem jego stanu zdrowia i z tym związanym radzeniem sobie w życiu. Dlatego też ważne jest wychodzenie naprzeciw potrzebom osób starszych, których zaspokojenie warunkuje jakość ich życia. Potrzeby te istnieją między innymi w środowisku transportowym. W artykule podjęto temat problemów osób starszych, występujących w ich funkcjonowaniu w takim środowisku oraz wybrane możliwości ich rozwiązywania, jakie stwarza społeczna ocena technologii w projektowaniu, konstruowaniu oraz eksploatacji środków technicznych, ukierunkowana na poprawę jakości ich życia. Zagadnienia z obszaru TA zilustrowano wybranymi przykładami technicznych rozwiązań gerontechnologii wykorzystywanych w omawianym obszarze.

Among the important problems of the present day is the aging of societies. Being over 50 years old may be associated with a worsening of his or her health and dealing with it in life. It is therefore important to meet the needs of the elderly, whose satisfaction determines the quality of their lives. Among other things, these needs exist in the transport environment. The article concern the problems of the elderly persons, occurring in their functioning in the transport environment and the possibility of solving them, which a social technology assessment creates in the design, constructing and operation and maintenance of technical means aimed at improving their quality of life. Issues in the area of TA illustrated by selected examples of technical solutions of gerontechnology applied in this area.

Wykluczenie społeczne ma wiele przyczyn i skutków, obejmuje także wiele obszarów życia społecznego. Jednym z nich jest ruch drogowy. Brak dostępu do szeregu miejsc i obiektów, zagrożenie bezpieczeństwa już dziś jest przyczyną radykalnego ograniczenia aktywności osób starszych. W Polsce jak dotąd nie ma zadnych rozwiązań rzeczywiście i kompleksowo odpowiadających na potrzeby tej grupy użytkowników dróg. Aby odzyskać osoby starsze dla naszego społeczeństwa musimy niezwłocznie i w sposób odpowiednio przygotowany i zorganizowany wychodzić tym problemom naprzeciw.

Social exclusion has many causes and effects. It also encompases many areas of social live. One of them is road traffic. The inaccessibility of many places and services and lack of safety is a cause of radical limitations in activities of elderly people today. In Poland there are practically no solutions which would meet the needs of this group of road users in a comprehensive way. In order to regain older people for our society we urgently need to address these problems.

Gibkość kręgosłupa w ostatnich latach jest uważana za istotny element sprawności fizycznej. Bouchard i Shephard (1994) wskazują gibkość jako jeden z komponentów i czynników sprawności, który w sposób szczególny warunkuje zdrowie i niezależność jednostki. Badaniami objętych zostało 50 kobiet w wieku 60 - 69 lat. Uczestniczki projektu badawczego podzielone zostały na pięć grup: cztery grupy badawcze, które uczestniczyły w eksperymencie pedagogicznym oraz jedną grupę kontrolną. Grupy badawcze (eksperymentalne) realizowały różne programy treningowe. Na podstawie szczegółowych analiz ustalono, że wszystkie programy treningowe przyczyniły się do poprawy gibkości kręgosłupa u przynajmniej 50% badanych osób w każdej z grup treningowych. Nie zauważono znaczących różnic w rezultatach uzyskanych w poszczególnych grupach treningowych zarówno pod względem praktycznym jak i statystycznym. Każdy program treningowy miał więc podobny wpływ na zmianę wyniku.

In recent years, flexibility of the spine has been considered an important element of physical fitness. Bouchard and Shephard (1994) point out flexibility as one of the elements and factors which particularly condition for health and independence of a person. Fifty women were enrolled in the study, aged 60-69 years. The subjects were split into 5 groups: 4 study groups which took part in a pedagogical experiment and 1 control group. The study groups (experimental) accomplished different training programs. Based on detailed analyses, it was observed that all the training programs, caused improvement in flexibility of the spine in at least 50% of subjects in each training group. No significant differences in the obtained results were observed among the groups, neither in practical, nor in statistical terms. That is, each training program had similar impact on the changes in performance.

n 2007 we started works under the grant commissioned by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education concerning the aspects of ageing in Poland. One of the sub-projects within the framework of the grant prepared by staff of the Silesian University of Technology and Silesian University is focused on the investigation of the living conditions of seniors in selected housing environments. This is the first interdisciplinary research undertaken in this field in Poland and, accordingly, a very challenging methodological and organizational task. The scope of the paper is the presentation of its course and organization.

In a hot environment, especially during exercise, the main role of thermoregulative mechanisms is to dissipate excessive heat from the body. The most effective way of heat dissipation is sweat production and its evaporation off skin surface. Intense sweating results in a considerable loss of water and electrolytes. There are some results that indicate lower thirst of older men than young ones in response to a hot environment and osmotic stimuli. Our studies conducted in men of different ages exposed to a hot environment indicated that there were no significant differences in rectal temperature (Tre) or heat storage (S) among groups at rest. Lower Tre and lower S in older men with higher physical capacity for their age than in young ones with average physical capacity was shown. However, in all the experiments significantly lower thirst in older men than in the young was indicated. Special attention should be paid to fluid replacement among workers in a hot environment because of lower thirst and lower hydration of older men. These individuals may be exposed to dehydration risk during prolonged exercise, despite the possibility to tolerate heat strain as well as young ones. Further studies are necessary because of some diversity in the meaning of the results.
