The post-pandemic period is particularly important for the European airline market. We can observe new trends of changes that will shape it for many years to come. We can already clearly see that the Central European region has its own specificity, distinguishing it from Western Europe. In the case of our country, analysing the situation and forecasting the future is particularly important, as decisions are currently being taken regarding huge infrastructure investments. The structure of the number of seats offered by scheduled airlines and the changes in it are very good indicators of the strategies of air carriers, the most important players in the market game.

The expansion of low-cost airlines over the last few decades has significantly influenced the requirements and directions of development of aviation infrastructure, opening up development opportunities for many regional and former military airports.In the second phase of development, low-cost airlines increased their presence at major airports. The low-cost model is evolving, just like the models of traditional and charter airlines. These changes are followed by the development and changes in the airport infrastructure. The model infrastructure adapted to serve low-cost airlines is geared towards reducing the cost for the airlines and shortening the turnaround time of aircrafts – it is therefore smaller and simpler, devoid of certain elements, e.g., jet bridges. Similarly, the time and comfort of travel from the airport to the centre of the metropolitan area are not as important as in the case of airports serving traditional airlines.

The article analyses the problems and potentials of municipalities facing the risk of permanent marginalization in the Siedlce subregion indicated in the documents of the communes – primarily development strategies of municipalities. These concerns were categorized into five thematic spheres: social, economic, environmental, spatial-functional, and technical. Based on the information contained in commune revitalization programmes, the article delved into the discussion of degraded areas and revitalization zones prevalent among the surveyed communes. In addition, the timeliness of the problems and potentials indicated by the communes was examined on the basis of publicly available data in order to determine the trend of changes and present the current situation. Due to the availability of most statistical data, the analysis covered the years 2010–2021.

Unemployment is one of the most significant social issues. It is a multidimensional phenomenon, exerting mainly a negative impact on the crucial spheres of political, economic, and social life. Unemployment has been acknowledged as a well-known and persistent public concern. Emerging from a period of systemic transformation, it has evolved into one of Poland’s macroeconomic and macrosocial problems. The aim of the study is to analyse the dynamics of unemployment and its structure within the administrative system – in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship, individual subregions and counties – in the period 1999–2022. The study defines unemployment and its structural components as well as changes observed over the analysed period on the basis of available statistical data of the Central Statistical Office and Provincial Labor Office in Warsaw. A breakthrough change was observed after Poland’s accession to the European Union, when the unemployment rate started to decrease. The analyses presented in the study indicate an improvement in the labour market and a reduction in the disparities between voivodeships and counties.

Healthy, lush greenery is a factor that works relaxingly, soothingly, and therapeutically on the human body – both in the physical and psychological spheres (soma and psyche). Already throughout the 19th century, greenery was consciously incorporated into the urban structure of cities (e.g. city squares, parks, public gardens, children’s playgrounds, or numerous spa parks in health resorts), intensifying such activities in the 20th and 21st century (restoration of natural resources after World War I and II, the establishment of new multifunctional parks and theme gardens). The aim of the study is to present research confirming that vegetation has an extremely beneficial impact on the health and quality of life of people, e.g. in the aesthetic, emotional or physiological sphere – especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides the pathogenic action of the virus itself, this pandemic brought about serious consequences for the quality of life of a significant part of the population in many countries worldwide, both in terms of general health condition and mental health.
