Item Methodological triangulation in movement pattern research(Wydział Nauk Geograficznych i Geologicznych Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza, 2015) Kotus, Jacek; Rzeszewski, MichałThe application of GIS and GPS methods together with qualitative sociological methods is one of the current fields of discussion in studies of human behaviour in space. The authors ask about the justification, manner and value of using the ‘triad’: quantitative GIS measurement methods – qualitative sociological methods – quasi-experiment. A mixed-method approach in an analysis of human movement patterns is introduced. Also, the role of the investigator in such projects is discussed.Item PROBLEMY I CELE ROZWOJOWE MIAST POLSKI(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2002) Kotus, JacekThis paper aims at presenting the main developmental problems and priorities o f Polish cities at the turn of the epoch. The research has been founded upon an analysis of approximately 100 development strategies of selected cities. Both the developmental problems and objectives of Polish cities have been presented in the following four spheres: (i) society and culture, (ii) economy and infrastructure, (iii) nature and environment, and (iv) urban and land development. Generally, the defined difficulties present Polish cities as the focal points of particularly difficult and multifaceted developmental problems. The answer to crucial urban life inconveniences recognised through research is developmental priorities articulated in a responsible and complementary way in response to the discovered problems. The main problematic issues as well as the objectives of Polish urban organisms are universal and independent of the size of a city. The main problems in the four selected spheres result from the bad condition of the following areas: education, waste water management, waste management, roads and transport. The chief development priorities are to improve education, develop waste water management, create an efficient waste management system, modernize and develop the city transport systems.Item Rola stowarzyszeń lokalnych w procesie partycypacji społecznej w zarządzaniu miastem. Przykład Poznania(Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, 2015) Sowada, Tomasz; Kotus, JacekItem Wpływ społeczności lokalnych na kierunki rozwoju rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego (w wybranych gminach Wielkopolski)(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM) Kotus, JacekThe question of influence standards in relation of an individual to his surrounding and that on the level of satisfaction resulting out of realizing these standards happens to be quite often discussed in different works, as well of psychological as of sociological concern. These notions are important components of theories on subjectivization of individuals or social groups. The theories enjoy much interest and are very popular now, particularly against the background of recent transformations in Poland. The presented classification divides local societies into nine classes considering their virtual influence standards against the influence realized and, further, considering the resulted satisfaction- dissatisfaction impression - what makes it easier to meet and to determine the researched local societies. The above involves facilities in realizing two following postulates: a) teaching the communes inhabitants of normal influence standards; b) looking after the learned standards be realized. The classification is completed with the results of on spot research held in 1995-1996 in the Poznań region.
