In 2017, the Editorial Team of the scientific periodical MAZOWSZE Regional Studies faced a serious challenge. The interest in our journal among authors and readers from various scientific backgrounds, as well as among practitioners involved in spatial development and public policy, confirmed our conviction that what we do is important, but it also became a starting point for undertaking changes that must be aimed at developing and expanding our activities.

Cohesion policy plays a key role for the dynamics of the European integration process, and is in a sense a “barometer” of the strength and direction of this process, around which the European debate has been taking place in recent years. This policy in the current programming period (2014-2020) has a clear “territorial dimension,” i.e. it allows the nature of support to be tailored to the peculiarities and needs of specific territories.

French encyclopedists defined a museum as the sum of human knowledge and art, a place that can become both a theater and an auditorium. Professor Andrzej Kicinski wrote in his book on museums that both libraries and museums are a necessary and integral part of building identity, but also the landscape of the city. Recipients of spaces associated with museums are a social group that creates a new quality through a kind of initiation and sensitivity to contemporary social and artistic issues.

Significant advances in technology for extracting sediments from the bottom of water bodies and processing them into high-value organic fertilizers have created new opportunities for their reclamation. These new opportunities can be put to good use in updating the Spatial Management Plan for the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, as well as in implementing Poland’s commitments to the European Union regarding the Water Framework Directive and plans for the rehabilitation of waterways in Poland.

The publication draws attention to the possibility of taking up and conducting architectural activity in the form of a partnership due to its peculiarities. This type of partnership is designed for the practice of liberal professions. With the practice of a liberal profession (including the profession of an architect) is associated with the risk of making a mistake “in the art” and, consequently, the obligation of compensation, which is a liability of the partnership.

Janusz I Starszy (c.1346-1429), was one of the most prominent Mazovian princes, with a very good reputation in the Chronicle of Jan Długosz. Therefore, local authorities, looking for a local historical figure worthy of commemoration, sometimes decide on Prince Janusz the Elder.

The article presents selected issues of the problem of NIMBY-type conflicts. These are conflicts arising from the opposition of local communities to the location, in the vicinity of their place of residence, of investments perceived by them as a nuisance. A spatial picture of the occurrence of conflicts in Poland (excluding large and medium-sized cities) is presented, resulting from a search of press archives (regional and local press) conducted for the period January 2007 – March 2014.
