The article attempts to show how activities at the level of planning and agricultural management affect the recreational values of the landscape, resulting from the behavior of curlew birds. This goal was achieved using the example of three species associated with agrocenoses: partridge, quail and pheasant. In particular, the availability of food and their habitat were taken into account. An analysis of changes and their causes in the context of both Poland and Mazovia was made.

The conclusions come to mind. Everything should be done to minimize human contact. At the same time, the economy can’t be stopped, which means that the closing of workplaces should not take place. Where, then, can and should people’s grouping be limited? Such places are undoubtedly stores, banks, post offices and offices. The most vulnerable to infection are the elderly. There are more than 9 million people over the age of 60 in Poland. If they all become ill with COVID-19, Polish health care has no chance to save them.

The purpose of this article is an attempt to present a set of features with a mystical identity of the historic garden in Felicianovo. The unique character of the garden, although it results from a seemingly banal view of its space, carries in itself a great charge of the sacred, containing symbols important for the Marianist faith. The natural-spatial context is contained in the mystical reference to the Garden of Eden.

The history of Warsaw’s sports facilities is inscribed in the history of the city and is a document of its cultural heritage. For several hundred years, the development of the various sports practiced in Warsaw has been accompanied by investments for sports, the evolution of sports construction is visible. Thus, the history of Warsaw sports architecture covers a period of about seven hundred years: from the Middle Ages to modern times. These were both buildings erected for the needs of major sporting events, such as racetracks and are today’s stadiums, as well as sports facilities accompanying education or daily recreation of city residents.

It remains undisputed that Kazimierz Dolny has special values for culture, and thus meets the requirements for a site wishing to be recognized as a monument of history. Unfortunately, the regulations on the protection of historical monuments: the 1966 and 1983 decisions on entry in the register of historical monuments and the 1994 order of the President of the Republic of Poland on recognition of Kazimierz Dolny as a historical monument raise a number of doubts of a substantive and legal nature – it is not known whether they are in force. Such a situation causes conflicts between a resident of Kazimierz Dolny and the authorities, especially the provincial conservator of monuments.

The authors of the article believe that: the overly complicated methods of determining municipal waste management fee rates adopted in the Law on Maintaining Cleanliness and Order in Municipalities should be abandoned; the simplest and fairest would be to introduce a single fee on each person declaring residence in Poland, and the aforementioned fee can be linked to income tax, for example.
