Issue 52

Ladies and gentlemen,

We cordially invite you to read the issue 52 of the periodical MAZOVIA Regional Studies.

The issue opens up with the article on waste generated in the manufacturing of cosmetic products. The Authors present ways of recovering materials or obtaining energy from non-hazardous waste as well as processes for the disposal of this waste, which contains substances or elements hazardous to humans and animals.

The subject of the subsequent article is the role of the economic account in business activities planning. By way of an example of hemp cultivation, the Author proves that the correct determination of revenue and costs is as important as the identification of the demand and the opportunity to achieve sales targets. The text highlights the advantages of cooperation within clusters and agricultural cooperatives as a way of achieving so-called economies of scale.

The third article, addressing the problem of the interaction between external conditions and the investor’s guidelines and the final design outcome, is a case study described by practising landscape architects. The Authors show how the analysis and synthesis of data obtained at the initial step influence the design process and how factors beyond the designer’s control determine and ultimately shape the solutions adopted for land use.

In comparison with similarly sized cities, the area of the allotments in Radom is very small, which prompted the Author of the next article to consider the possibilities of developing allotment sites in this city. After analysing the conditions arising from spatial, communicational and ownership-related documents, the Author presents a proposal for the location of a new allotment site, defines the conditions for the opportunity to enlarge the existing one and indicates ways to improve the accessibility of the allotment sites for citizens.

A summary of the initial period of operation of the Warsaw-Radom Airport is worth reading. The Author undertakes to explain the reasons for the airport’s poor performance and considers its development prospects. The text becomes particularly meaningful in the context of the ongoing dispute in the public space about the sense of building more airports, including the Central Transport Port.

The issue closes with a report from a study visit to the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona on urban innovation as well as from the DeCoInter Kick Off Meeting, where a project for the energy transition of coastal regions through the use of renewable energy sources and green fuels was presented.

We wish you an enjoyable reading experience.
