With the changing criteria for parametric evaluation of scientific journals, we were forced to narrow down the circle of our interests. Given the specificity of the publisher, which is the Mazovian Office of Regional Planning in Warsaw, and due to the patronage of our journal by the Mazovian Voivodeship Government, we decided to limit ourselves to the new field of social science, which is the science of public policy (public policy). Those interested in more details about what this new science deals with, I refer you to a very interesting article by Jerzy Woźnicki, New discipline – “public policy science” situated in the field of social sciences, published in No. 1 of the journal “NAUKA” in 2012. In our pages we will mainly publish articles on issues related to the broad mission of science and local governments for the development of local communities.

The article includes an analysis of the development of the information society, made by means of two measures. First, a summary index of information society development, which was created for the districts of Mazovia. Second, digital exclusion, which was analyzed by both municipalities and counties of the Mazovian region. The summary indicator used 6 variables, grouped into 3 components: technological, economic, socio-cultural. The sub-indices were calculated using the method of distance from the benchmark, while the summary index was calculated using the Perkal method, with the application of specific weights. The results of the analysis confirm the basic division of the province in many other socio-economic fields. The most developed districts in this regard – are units centered around the city of Warsaw, along with cities with county rights.

The article recalls the role that a long-term strategy should play in the development of the region. This is because there are currently many misunderstandings and misconceptions on the subject, which reflects negatively on the usefulness of the strategy for practice and reduces its effectiveness. Strategy is a basic tool for managing long-term development processes at the regional level, and its essence is to make choices on how to use the generally limited resources to stimulate the development process and make related decisions with long-term consequences.

This article addresses the social problems of a degraded workers’ housing estate in the suburban city of Konstancin-Jeziorna in the context of plans for its revitalization. The author focuses on the poor internal reputation of the settlement, which is significantly influenced by, among other things, a high concentration of communal and social housing. The attitude of withdrawal, lack of commitment to the common good, as well as greater territorial indifferentism among the socially excluded, exacerbate the moral degradation of the residents and put the city authorities in need of corrective action.

The social market economy is most often understood as the equivalent of a socialist economy or redistributive social policies. It is also sometimes erroneously defined as synonymous with state interventionism. Meanwhile, the concept of a social market economy is a liberal concept, with its origins in pre-war ordoliberal theory. A social market economy is an equilibrium model that reconciles the coexistence of economic and social interests (economic efficiency versus social justice).

Personal and social security is among the basic values on which a person wants to base his existence. It relates both to the sphere of personal life and spiritual life. Particularly acute is a person’s inner anxiety, a sense of danger, uncertainty about tomorrow, fear of the future. The anxiety of an individual person is transferred to the entire community in which the person lives.

The globalization processes of the modern world are confronting economic and industrial structures with new challenges, which can take on negative consequences in the event of organizational failures or decision-making errors. Therefore, various economic (business) forums and scientific conferences are periodically held in many centers, relevant to the world’s economies, to indicate the directions of modern economic evolution.
