The object of the publication is to present the problem of space in the organization of auto racing. The article classifies racetracks according to the conditions of location into facilities in urban space and in the open landscape. The research refers to facilities that organize or have organized auto races of the highest series – Formula 1. The analysis of the process of creating or modernizing a modern facility shows the growing need to classify the dissimilarity of location and the difference in the approach to the design of such facilities.

Digital technologies profoundly influenced social and economic realities, making the world more difficult to govern. These changes reached public administration, including the New Public Management (NPM), a bureaucratic model that evolved from both the new institutional economics and the notion of managerialism, and has been gaining traction in developed countries since the beginning of the 1980s. NPM, which has been based on managerialism, decentralization, de-bureaucratization, privatization and a reduction of size and scope of the administration, passed its peak in the mid-2000s.

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.

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.
