The purpose of this article is to analyze the improvement of road safety on the basis of data, concerning accidents and collisions in the area of two municipalities in the Mazovian Voivodeship, in which bypasses of county towns in the course of expressways have been built (the municipality of Wyszków and the municipality of Garwolin). The study was conducted on the basis of data contained in accident cards, collected by the Traffic Bureau of the Police Headquarters within the Accident and Collision Record System (SEWIK), for the years 2006-2012. The Mazowieckie Voivodeship, in terms of the level of accidents, slightly deviates from the national average.

The article is devoted to the relationship between the belief in getting involved in municipal affairs and interpersonal trust, as well as an assessment of the attitude of the authorities to the social activity of residents in the Podkowa Leśna municipality near Warsaw. Involvement in the life of the municipality, regardless of the form, builds trust, i.e. strengthens social capital, which is so important for initiating cooperation of residents for the general good. The author shows that a sense of involvement in the municipality’s affairs does not necessarily result from giving to local organizations, of which there are more than a dozen in Podkowa Leśna.

The purpose of this article is to identify and discuss the factors shaping the attitudes of local leaders toward cooperation in the Warsaw Metropolitan Area. The focus is on relations within the political space (between representatives of local government units, i.e., Warsaw and the other local governments, as well as the other local governments among themselves) and between organizations of the political space and organizations of the economic and cultural space (organizations of the business environment, business government and universities).

The Suburban Zone is a transitional area between urban and rural, an area between the traditional built-up areas and suburban area of the central city and the traditional rural areas, which is characterized by land use transformation and socio-demographic features. An area that separates urban and rural areas and can be treated as a border zone between them [Dziewoński K, 1987]. Nowadays in Poland, suburban zones of larger cities are subject to dynamic urbanization processes.

The analysis covered the districts of Legionowo, Minsk, Otwock, Piaseczyn, Pruszkow, Warsaw West and Wołomin.

The regional question plays an important role in Spain’s political life. The Spanish experience with regional autonomy over the past 30-35 years has had a major impact on attitudes toward regionalisms in many European countries. During this period, the experience was evaluated positively. Recently, however, doubts have been raised about the impact of regional autonomies on the functioning of the economy and on state unity. The article consists of two main parts – a historical outline and an overview of selected regionalisms and regions. The first part discusses the historical factors in the formation of regionalisms in Spain.

You hold in your hands the next issue of MAZOWSZE Regional Studies, in which we publish texts mainly devoted to regional policy in planning and social terms. The volume begins with an article by Roman Szul, characterizing the differentiation of regions in Spain. In it, the author takes a closer look at the Iberian experience of regionalism and the problems associated with it, overlaid with economic and cultural conditions. The next two articles focus on the problem of spatial planning in the areas around Warsaw and predestined for its metropolitan area. Barbara Chmielewska – the author of the first one – presents the influence of urbanization processes, associated with the development of Warsaw, on changes taking place in rural areas in the districts of Legionowo, Minsk, Otwock, Piaseczyn, Pruszków, Warsaw West and Wołomin.

The article presents selected problems related to the management of functional areas in Poland in the context of the practice of local governments and the challenges arising from the need to territorialize development policies. Functional urbanized areas that have been forming in Poland for several years, including their most complex form – metropolitan areas, are territorial systems that integrate connections and dependencies related to various spheres of human activity, including mainly economic activity. These layouts are a new phenomenon and an unknown challenge from the perspective of development planning and management. Twenty-five years ago, when the foundations of territorial self-government were laid, it was not foreseen that the development of urbanization would take such a pace and such forms, and that the location of various functions would follow a different logic, all of which would become a serious problem for development management.
