In the current discussions about the fate of our country’s industry in the past and its prospects for the future, at least four areas, in my opinion, require much more attention and broader reflection, including learning from our – not always only positive – experiences.

While in the past playgrounds were usually intended only for children, today we can observe more public places, sports and leisure areas designed for all ages, including adults and the elderly. Traditional playgrounds are equipped with recreational equipment aimed at the youngest users: swings, slides and merry-go-rounds, while universal playgrounds also have equipment attractive to adults, such as a basketball court or chess. These facilities allow families to spend time together, develop physical coordination, strength, self-esteem flexibility and social skills, and provide recreation and enjoyment.

The purpose of the article was to see if it is possible to conduct a preliminary efficiency audit in measuring cost efficiency in the area of road infrastructure construction by local governments, on the basis of public information publicly available, without asking for access to data. An efficiency audit is an instrument that allows, among other things, to measure cost efficiency and make comparisons between local governments in the implementation of specific detailed types of tasks.

Real estate has a primary servant role to its owners, who have or may have specific investment plans related to the property. In addition to the already well-known restrictions on the enforcement of property rights, formulated in the Law on Spatial Planning and Development, the Law on Construction, the so-called “speculative laws” relating primarily to road, railroad and housing investments, as well as implementing regulations issued under these laws, the effects of including real estate in the register of historical monuments or the municipal register of historical monuments seem to be underestimated.

The closure of railroads, or the cessation of passenger trains on a particular route, has negative consequences. “Closures of lines in passenger traffic usually cause severe consequences for local communities. Particularly painful are the consequences of the cessation of passenger rail service for small towns and villages without other modes of transportation.” [Taylor 2007, p. 165]. “Often, the closure of a local rail service means that residents are denied access to current and potential employment, education, medical care, shopping, entertainment and many other destinations.” [Taylor 2007, p. 10].

The article presents a method of valorizing trees for their biocenotic values. A descriptive and numerical evaluation of the biocenotic value of a tree in three categories is proposed, which are based on personal characteristics, connections with the immediate environment and location in relation to the object in question and neighboring ecosystems. The sum of the points that a tree obtains from the three categories is the basis for qualification into one of the groups of biocenotic value.
