Architectural activity is subject to the same rules as any other type of business. The way it is organized determines the way it is liable for liabilities arising in the course of its activities. For architectural activity, the best form is a partnership. Those who perform this activity may conduct it in other forms, namely partnerships of a different type than the partnership and capital companies.

Kurpiowszczyzna is one of the most interesting ethnographic regions, with a center of original, well-preserved and carefully cultivated Kurpie folk culture. The image of the Kurpie village is the result of centuries of human activity.

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.
