The housing market in Singapore has observed extensive development and growth over the pastyears due to the validation of favourable economic, lawful, social, civilized, and political policies.housing and Development Board is the managerial organization that responsible for the developmentand improvement of the housing area in Singapore. In Singapore, above 80% of its citizens ownhomes, apartments, hostels and flats. Singapore has also set up economic facilities such as the CentralProvident Fund (CPF) to provide loan to its citizens at a lower interest rate to acquire houses andapartments. Favourable housing policies have also enabled the development and growth of otherhousing industries in other developed economies such as the UK, USA, Sweden, and Poland.

The negative impacts of climate change have spread widely and calls increased toward finding smarterstrategies that can support both climate change adaptation and mitigation. Urban Green Infrastructure(UGI) is considered a certain type of such strategies. The literature review indicates a lack of knowledgeregarding the planning steps of UGI in existing cities. In addition, the comparison between thestudies that tackle the subject point out that there are differences between the definition and sequenceof these steps. The current research aims to find out the optimal planning steps of UGI and the mostacceptable sequence of the planning process for climate change smart adaptation in existing cities.By using the methodology of “learning by doing”, the research seeks to conclude these steps from theworld’s real practices. A cross-case analysis was conducted between four main practices to define therelationship between their planning steps and determine their similarities and differences. The crossanalysisrevealed that the practices almost followed similar processes but with different definitionsand sequences of planning steps. Based on the intersections between practices and by following theplanning logic, the optimal definition and sequence of UGI planning were extracted and outlinedin “seven planning steps”. These steps include: providing the precise identification of the impact,identifying the higher-risk neighborhoods, collecting data about the existing conditions, protectingand enhancing existing green and blue elements, adding new UGI assets, drawing the results, andfinally calculating the UGI effectiveness. This set of steps can guide the whole process of UGI planningand ensure the maximum benefits of employing it in existing cities to achieve the climate changesmart adaptation.

Motives: The COVID-19 pandemic directly affected the lives of Polish workers. The literature on the subject focuses its attention on the medical sector, security services, education, and commerce. Aim: In order to broaden the analysis, the impact of the pandemic on the investment and construction sector, closely related to spatial management, was assessed by conducting a questionnaire survey among its workers. The survey was anonymous and conducted remotely via the Microsoft Forms platform. The study sample comprised 109 workers. Results: The study results show clearly that the pandemic had a significant impact on working life. The negative effects include a deteriorated mental state and a feeling of increased anxiety, problems with the timely completion of investment projects, prolonged working hours, and numerous absences from work. As regards the positive phenomena, the respondents indicated the flexible working hours (remote and hybrid work), the advantages resulting from the accelerated digitisation of the administration (faster acquisition of data), and a change for the better in terms of the forms of communication with superiors and co-workers.

Privatization of municipal housing in Poland has led to the emergence of public-private housing condominiums. The aim of the study was to investigate the ownership structures of common property management entities in such condominiums in Poland. The intended investigation was conducted on the sample of the 30 largest urban municipalities located in the Warmia and Mazury province. The empirical data was collected by questionnaire interviews using the public information access technique. The aim of the study was achieved through hierarchical cluster analysis using the agglomerative method. The results showed that the structures of common property management entities in studied housing condominiums varied in nature. In most municipalities surveyed, these structures were dominated by municipal entities. However, there is a growing group of municipalities where the surveyed structures have been dominated by private property managers. The in-house management model proved to be not very popular in the surveyed sample of municipalities.

Motives: Matters related to monitoring recreational use of national parks and identifying sites with high cultural values of ecosystem services are essential elements for the efficient management of these areas. Aim: The objectives of this study were to: 1) recognize the spatio-temporal distribution of activities in national parks by users of selected social media platforms; 2) identify the locations with the highest activity among the various groups visiting the national parks; 3) identify the locations (hot spots) with the highest potential for providing cultural ecosystem services (CES). Results: The spatial and temporal distribution of activities among various user groups in the national park areas was displayed using data from social media platforms and applications. Additionally, CES hotspots for the five most popular national parks were found.

Motives: According to public statistics guidelines, areas officially classified in Lodz city as urban greenery include only forests, parks, lawns, squares and cemeteries. Areas of so-called unsealed greenery are omitted, which, however, have a great positive impact on improving the living conditions of the population. By taking information from satellite images and comparing them with official data, we have received a closer to the reality picture of the city, which is much more better than it would appear from official statistical data. Another dimension which the study addresses is the uneven distribution of greenery of a certain quality in individual units of the city. Aim: Comparing these data with the fact that the distribution of places of residence is also uneven, an attempt was made to assess the accessibility of green areas for the inhabitants of Lodz city. Results: The results show that there are much more green spaces, similar in terms of vegetation abundance to the official green spaces. That means the city is underestimated when talking about the degree of greenery.

Motives: Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the issue of land legal relations has become of particular concern. The urgent task is to introduce the mechanism protecting the information of the State Land Cadastre from unauthorized interference by third parties, to ensure the rights of the state, physical and legal entities to enter data about objects to the cadastral system and to use this information. Aim: The research aims to identify ways to improve the mechanism of legal regulation of the State Land Cadastre under martial law that will ensure the restructuration and functioning of the agrarian sector of the economy, facilitate recovery of the infrastructure of Ukraine, as well as provide protection of the data from unauthorized interference by third parties, and counteract raider take-over of lands. Results: In the present research, a particular focus is made on the performance of the system of the State Land Cadastre under martial law in Ukraine which can be used as a reference point and a sample for the administrative decisions in other countries which are vulnerable to threats because of the national security.

Motives: For many years now, suburbanisation processes have been perceived as one of the most significant factors affecting changes in landscape structures. Numerous attempts are made to find appropriate methods and materials for a comparative analysis of land use changes in different periods of time and other indicators measuring the scale of this phenomenon. These studies result from the need to balance the suburbanisation process around the main service area of the Tri-City, the rapid pace of which causes development to enter areas that are not suitable for development due to environmental reasons. This implies the need for constant monitoring of this process. Aim: The study is an analysis of changes in land use patterns that took place in some rural areas surrounding the Tri-City agglomeration in the period of 2012–2018, and an attempt to assess how suburbanisation processes may be perceived in the light of the 1985 concept of the Gdańsk agglomeration development. The analysis covers selected rural areas located in the closest vicinity to the central housing zones of the Tri-City agglomeration and areas of rural characteristics located within the administrative borders of the cities. Results: Applying a synthetic indicator allowing to analyse convergence of structures made it possible to determine areas where the far-reaching changes are observed. The analysis covers some negative consequences of suburbanisation in relation to the natural environment, e.g. the unbalanced proportion between bioactive and built-up areas. In order to grasp current trends, the analysis refers to the data on the agglomeration development in the 1980’s. The methods of the research can be used in the analysis of other areas – regardless of administrative borders, for research where statistical data generalized at the commune level are insufficient.

Motives: Urban developers around the world have been using smart management systems in redeveloping cities. This strategy allows a sustainable long term approach, built on scientific findings. Accurate data and information are key in achieving smart management in the reconstruction of post-war areas. Having the right information at the right time helps government officials, service providers and residents themselves make better choices when it comes to the reconstruction of post-conflict areas. Aims: This paper explores the role of resident experts’ contribution and how they can aid officials make more educated choices when it comes to urban decision making. It also addresses the ambiguity of the impact of using the expertise of local urban planners and architects in urban decision making in the reconstruction process as one of the strategies to achieve a smart city. The Old City of Mosul was selected by the authors as a case study in the post-war regeneration process. Therefore, the paper attempts to reach a scientific decision in selecting the best approach towards the urban regeneration of the Old City of Mosul. Results: The paper signifies the role of the local community experts in urban decision making as a bottom to top approach, and recommendations were made based on the research findings.

Motives: Tourist potential is determined by the presence of tourism-related assets, the level of tourismoriented development and the transport accessibility of an area. The dominant role in lake zones is played by their natural assets, mainly in rural areas with potential for the development of ecotourism, nature tourism and the implementation of sustainable tourism. A position relative to an urban centre, especially a provincial city, is the decisive factor for development opportunities in rural communes. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse and compare the tourist attractiveness of rural communes in the functional urban area of Olsztyn – a provincial city. Results: The study was conducted by means of multidimensional comparative analysis with synthetic measures. The commune of Stawiguda, rich in natural and cultural assets and with good transport accessibility, proved to be the area with the highest tourist attractiveness (0.662). On the other end of the spectrum, the commune of Dywity achieved the lowest score (0.475) despite the best utilisation of its position neighbouring an urban centre.
