A special element in the surroundings are selected residential interiors and architectural remnants of the Mazovia area. They were developed in the second half of the 20th century, in the reality of communist times. The photographic reportage is more of an aesthetic impression than a realistic document, and is a series of explorations and reflections, a journey through selected residential buildings of the turn of the 19th/20th century, located in the Mazovia region. “Cycle of Photographs” is accompanied by a commentary pertaining to each home fire.

The Zeran Canal (17.6 km long), built in the 1950s after the creation of Lake Zegrzynski, was part of a waterway already planned (1930s) to connect the Vistula with the Dnieper. The purpose of the canal was to serve the transportation of future industrial areas in the vicinity of the Zeran port, as well as to shorten the distance from the Bug River to the Warsaw section of the Vistula by about 41 km.

Social diversity is an increasingly important issue in the global discourse on cities and regions today – a fashionable buzzword referring to the specificity of urban socio-economic structures. Heterogeneity that creates ‘cities with otherness’ accompanies such phenomena as international migration, spatial mobility, post-colonialism, population aging, the importance of the phenomenon of meritocracy, the occurrence and recognition of differentiation of individual and group identities, individualization as a feature of the so-called ‘liquid modernity’ described by Z. Bauman.

The purpose of the article is to assess the state of the environment in the rural areas of the counties of the Mazovian Voivodeship, since the result of this assessment is very helpful in determining the directions of development and land use of individual counties and municipalities, as well as for individual investors, especially those interested in tourism, recreation and housing. In order to make such an assessment, 7 indicators were used: the overall burden of the environment by permanent residents, the preservation of the vegetation cover in a form close to natural, the diversity of land use forms, the area and nature of protected areas, the burden of municipal waste, the burden of domestic sewage, the state of atmospheric air.

Evaluating the performance of a higher education institution is of interest particularly in the context of the development of the region in which it is located. For a comprehensive evaluation of a university, it is necessary to take into account, on the one hand, the efficiency and qualitative aspects of its functioning, on the other hand, the main processes carried out by universities: teaching and research. In the measurement carried out, efficiency was considered through the prism of assessing the use of resources to achieve results.
