The first geographic unit at the University of Warsaw was the Department of Geography, founded on April 1, 1918, the second was the Department of Human Geography created in 1938. The functioning of the units was stopped in 1939 by the outbreak of the II World War and the German occupation. The Department of Geography was reactivated in 1945 and the Department of Human Geography in 1947. Bath departments entered into the Institute of Geography, founded in 1952 and initially located at the Faculty of Biology and the Sciences of the Earth. The Institute of Geography consisted of 5 chairs: the first and the second evolved from the existing departments (the Chair of Physical Geography and the Chair of Economic Geography) and the others were created in 1950-1951 (the Chair of Cartography, the Chair of Regional Geography, and the Chair of Climatology). In 1969 the Faculty of Biology and the Earth Sciences split into the Faculty of Biology and the independent Institute of Geography, consisting of 5 departments corresponding to the previous chairs. In 1977 the Institute of Geography had been merged with the Institute of African Studies, from the Faculty of Modern Languages, and thus the first geographical unit of this rank in Poland emerged: the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies at the University of Warsaw. It consisted of 3 institutes divided into departments and few other units subordinated directly to the dean. At its beginning the structure of the Faculty was as follows: I. Institute of Physico-Geographical Sciences 1. Department of General and Regional Physical Geography ( with the Laboratory of Geoecological Methods) 2. Department of Geomorphology 3. Department of Climatology 4. Department of Hydrology II. Institute of Social, Economic and Regional Geography 1. Department of Economic Geography 2. Department of Regional Geography 3. Department of Socio-Political Geography 4. Department of Spatial Management III. Institute of Developing Countries 1. Department of Regional and Comparative Studies 2. Department of Economic Development 3. Department of Social Development 4. Department of Political and Legal Studies IV. Chair of Cartography V. Department of Didactics VI. Geographical Field Station at Murzynowo VII. Library with Information Center and Editorial Office During 30 years of the Faculty existence its structure changed many times. The reorganisation undertook in 2006 was the most substantial. Currently the Faculty comprises the following units: I. Institute of Physical Geography 1. Department of Geoecology Laboratory of Landscape Geochemistry Laboratory of Geoecology 2. Department of Geomorphology 3. Department of Climatology 4. Department of Hydrology II. Institute of Socio-Economic Geography and Spatial Management 1. Department of Urban Geography and Spatial Organization 2. Department of Tourism Geography and Recreation 3. Department of Local Development and Policy III. Institute of Regional and Global Studies 1. Department of Geography of Africa, Asia and Oceania 2. Department of Geography of Latin America 3. Department of Global Processes 4. Department of Development Studies Laboratory of Economic Development Laboratory of Political Issues 5. Department of Regional Geography IV. Chair of Geoinformation and Remote Sensing V. Chair of Cartography VI. Chair of Geographical and Touring Education VII. Laboratory of Computer Education VIII. Masovian Geographical Centre (Field Station in Murzynowo) IX. Library and Editorial Office The Library of the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies is the largest among all university faculties. The collection contains over 300,000 catalogue items and the number of its users varies from 20,000 to 30,000 yearly. The editorial activity of the Faculty is very fruitful, it publishes „Prace i Studia Geograficzne” („Studies in Geography”) which volumes are mostly thematic and present the scientific output of the particular research areas at the Faculty. A foreign language series „Miscellanea Geographica” started in 1984 and its biennial volumes are dedicated to the congresses and regional conferences of the International Geographical Union. Besides, the Faculty publishes the series: „Africana Bulletin” (in English and French), „Afryka Azja Ameryka Łacińska” („Africa, Asia, Latin America”, partially bilingual), „Actas Latinoamericanas de Varsovia” (in Spanish), and „Asia and Pacific Studies” (in English). The Editorial Office also prepares scientific monographs, textbooks, manuals, and various brochures. In 2006 the Faculty employment was at 165 people, including 99 university teachers, with 13 full professors and 26 associate professors among them. In the academic year 2006-2007 the courses for the Bachelor's and Master's degree in geography and in spatial management were provided both as full-time and part-time studies. The Faculty also provides various post-graduate studies and the doctoral studies. The latter currently educating approx. 50 graduates. The whole number of students at the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies exceeds 1350. The Faculty conducts research upon the structure and dynamics of changes of the natural environment; upon the socio-economic structures during the transformation period in Poland and in other countries; upon socio-economic changes in the Latin American, African, and Asian countries and in the global scale; as well as upon cartography, remote sensing, and geography didactics.

Professor Jerzy Kondracki Pb.D. (1908- 1998) was born in Warsaw. He attended to the Władysław IV secondary school and in 1926-1931 he studied geography at the University of Warsaw. After graduation he worked in the education system and in 1933 he took a post at the Department of Geography. In 1938 he was promoted a doctor on the basis of his dissertation „Studia nad morfologią i hydrografią Pojezierza Brasławskiego” (Studies on morphology and hydrography of the Brasław Lake District). He participated in the 1939 Defensive War and then he spent the years of war in the Woldenberg (Dobiegniew) Oflag. In 1945 he came back to work at the University of Warsaw and in 1954 he was promoted an associated professor and a full professor in 1969. In 1953-1977 he ran the Chair (later the Department) of Physical Geography and simultaneously in 1953- 1956 he was the Dean of the Faculty of Biology and Earth Sciences. In 1970-1977 he was the Director of the extra-faculty Institute of Geography at the University of Warsaw and after the forming of the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies - the Director of the Institute of Physico-geographical Sciences. In 1979 he retired but until 1997 he was still employed part-time at the University of Warsaw. Professor J. Kondracki developed the landscape direction in the Polish geography. He organized the first complex studies of the natural environment. He devised the physico-geographical regionalisation and the classification of the natural landscape of Poland. He published over 750 works and papers on complex physical geography, geomorphology, limnology, cartography, and didactics of geography. He is the author of the popular textbooks: „Geografia fizyczna Polski” (The Physical Geography of Poland; 12 editions, including 2 abroad), „Ogólna wiedza o Ziemi” (General Knowledge on the Earth), „Podstawy regionalizacji fizycznogeograficznej” (The Physico-geographical regionalization fundamentals), „Geografia regionalna Polski” (The Regional Geography of Poland) , and monographs „Polska północno-wschodnia” (The North-Eastern Poland) and „Karpaty” (The Carpathian Mountains). Since 1975 he was the Head of the Commission on Standardization of Geographical Names Outside the Republic of Poland at the National Education Ministry. In 1986-1997 he was a member of Commission on Standardization of Names at the Council of Ministers. He educated over 200 masters and he promoted 21 doctors. He was a meritorious member of the Polish Geographic Society: in 1959-1968 he was assigned the President of the Society and the Vice-President in 1953- 1959 and 1968-1987. In 1976 he was elected a honorary member of the Polish Geographic Society and a Honorary President in 1987. He was also a honorary member of five foreign geographic societies.

Land relief frequently plays a decisive role in physio-geographic regionalisation. This approach, however, is not always justified and depends on the taxonomic level of the relevant units. This also applies to the division of Polish landscapes; their classification is not universally determined by differences in the relief. The perception of landscape also largely depends on the relief, although in this case the extent of the view and its composition are typically dependent on land cover and land use. The above indicates that land relief is an important and frequently prevalent criterion for comprehensive divisions of the natural environment, althouth one can find many examples of landscape classifications made on the basis of other landscape components, which in a given situation are of a primary importance and determine the course of comprehensively understood boundaries.

Department of Geoecology has taken over the tradition of the Geography Department, the first to offer geographical education at University of Warsaw in 1918. The tradition is well-founded in continuous development of synthetic physico-geographical approach represented both by Professor Stanisław Lencewicz, the first Department Head, and his successors. The article presents the history of the Department, its research areas and topics, as well as names of all individuals employed in the Unit over 92 years of its operation. A list of Ph.D., M.Sc. and B.Sc. theses developed under supervision of the Department's staff is attached.

In order to verify the formalized method of delimitation of physico-geographical units of the „uroczysko” ¹ type in the mountainous landscape, three M.A. theses were done in the Tatra Mts. The „uroczysko” types were distinguished by correlating the properties related to the relief, geological substratum and land covering. The work by W. Lewandowski concerned a high situated little valley (Dolina za Mnichem) and was made on a scale 1 : 2000. A total of 18 „uroczysko” types were distinguished within the lower part of the valley, each of which was characterized in terms of the relief, substratum, land covering and soils. P. Żarski dealt with the bigest valley called the Valley of Five Polish Lakes. On a base map representing a mechanical magnification of a 1 : 10 000 map to a scale of 1 : 4 000 a number of analytical maps were elaborated and a total of 19 „uroczysko” types vere distinguished. The imperfect base map, however, which made mapping of many details impossible, is responsible for the fact that the obtained picture is unsatisfactory. The third research work done by M. Żarski concerned the Trzydniowianski Wierch mountain massif in the Western Tatras. A 1: 10 000 scale was used here and an assumption was made that individual vertical belts correspond to the terrain types (ecochores). The „uroczysko” types were distinguished individually in each belt. For this reason, as well as in view of a considerable variability of the rock bed, as many as 57 range type were distinguished. Each type was characterised in the paper from the standpoint of relief, geological structure, vegetation, soil types and hydrological regime. The tests made appear to support the view that also in the mountain area the relief, land covering and ground may be considered as key factors in delimiting the types of „uroczysko”. In conclusion a proposal was made as to the morphometric classification of the relief of the upland and mountainous areas, and a point was made of the grouping of „uroczysko” -types to obtain higher-order classification units.

Artykuł poświęcony jest omówieniu podstawowych zasady regionalizacji ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem problemów, które mimo wprowadzenia nowoczesnych technik nadal budzą wątpliwości lub nie są jednoznacznie rozumiane.

EN

Regionalization is a specific kind of spatial division, in which units belonging to the same class are adjacent to each other (fig. 1). Z. Chojnicki defined the region as an area of the occurence of a certain feature or set of features considered important in connection with the purpose of research and emphasized the importance of the system orientation concept, according to which the region should be treated as a real spatial unit composed of different elements connected among them (Chojnicki 1996). The region's distinctiveness in relation to neighbouring units results from a specific pattern or sequence of region components, from its spatial composition or template (fig. 2). Regionalization can be carried out in two ways: by dividing larger units into smaller ones (top-down) means by deductive methods, or by grouping small regions into larger regions (bottom-up), i.e. induction methods. The inter-relation between the two approaches is illustrated in Figure 3. Physico-geographical regionalization should be subordinated to the phenomenon of continental zonality, which is not very well defined in the western part of Europe. It is worth mentioning, however, that J. Kondracki in 1988 published a map of zonal varieties of the natural landscape of Poland. The following varieties have been marked on this map: Sub-Atlantic, Sub-Boreal and forest-steppe. The range of these subdivisions, against the background of the physico-geographical regionalization of Poland, is shown in Figure 4. The boundaries of regions are rarely linear. Most often they have the form of narrower or wider transition zones, i.e. ecotones (fig. 5). Precise definition of the shape of borders can be difficult, although one may recall here attempts to present them using the assumptions of the fuzzy sets theory (Ołdak 2001, Zachwatowicz 2011, 2012). The way of treating elements considered as aregional, such as water objects, massifs and mountain ranges, river valleys and other depressions, is very important. These elements are either large enough in order to be treated as separate regions, or they should constitute an important components of the region's characteristics (a region with numerous finger lakes or a region with a significant share of alluvial river valleys ). This study deals primarily with physico-geographical regionalization. Other natural divisions, as well as historical, social or economic regionalizations were omitted. It is worth recalling the obvious fact that the diversity of the cultural aspects is very often very dependent on the natural predispositions. It is hard to imagine that the ranges of socio-economic regions do not take into account the division of land into mountains and lowlands or surfaces with varied or monotonous relief, as well as many other natural conditions. It is worth noting that even the divisions of Poland into historical regions show some correlation with natural Conditions, what was evidenced by the study of Ł. Zaborowski (2016) (fig. 6).
