The sociology of town in Poland
Abstract
The article is concerned with some aspects and conditions of the present state
and prospects of development of the sociology of town in Poland. The reader will
find here few comments on particular research trends or the outcome of particular
research and more general considerations and evaluations of that sociological subdiscipline
made from the contemporary perspective. These evaluations are in general
rather critical. Ideological and socio-political conditions of domestic research
on town and its social problems have been stressed. The main thesis is that the
development of Polish sociology of town needs a definite elimination of all barriers
of ideological and political nature (censorship, „taboos", access to some sources,
etc.). It also requires more openness and liberalization of scientific policy, e.g. in
the sphere of international contacts or as to the need of undertaking research connected with the most pressing social and practical problems of Polish towns.
Sociologists who investigate the problems of Polish towns should stay in touch
with modern foreign theories and should eventually get rid of some mytfis of
ideological nature. Domestic sociology of town needs improvement also in theoretical
and methodological planes. Developmental prospects lie in critical analysis, revision
and selection as well as in combining and integrating various theoretical and social
themes (mostly neomarxist and humanistic). The above would lead to changes in
research projects that should more and more often be concerned with municipal
policy, planning, municipal social movements, needs and aspirations of townspeople
and the possibilities of fulfilling the expectations in town environment i.e. all
aspects contributing to the quality of life of townspeople.
