The development of tourism and with it the development of tourist infrastructure, has significantly influenced the lives of many people who use various more or less advanced applications on their touch phones on a daily basis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality, correctness and functionality of mobile tourist maps based on selected criteria. Then their usefulness was checked by means of appropriate research methods. The weaknesses and strengths of tourist mobile maps were noticed and described in detail. Colorful screenshots presenting sample functions of the applications were also included. To sum up the conducted research, relevant conclusions were formulated. Advantages and disadvantages of the studied mobile tourist maps were noticed and solutions were suggested that could enrich particular applications in terms of their functionality.

The aim of this article is to describe the supply chains in which urban agriculture operates in four selected cities – Havana, Kigali, Bissau and Singapore. The analysis based on the results of the fieldwork conducted in 2018–2020 comprises both the spatial dimension of the supply chain as well as the number of actors along the products’ route. It is argued here that despite the fact that operating in a shortened supply chain is considered a typical feature of urban agriculture, its benefits depend on local economic, social and spatial conditions, the organization and structure of the supply chain itself, as well as the distance between particular actors and the role they perform. The results of the analysis of diverse cases located in different regions of the world show that the positive effects of bringing food production closer to the place of consumption are indeed not arbitrary and further research regarding the structure of the supply and also value chain is needed.

The health crisis and the global freezing of economies have showed the deep dependence of many communities in the world on one sector of the economy. In the case of Costa Rica, this is what happened in the province of Guanacaste, in the northwest of the country. Over the past three decades, this peripheral area and one of the poorest in Costa Rica has become a very attractive region for investors, both foreign and domestic, investing their funds mainly in the tourism sector. During this period, many mega-projects were constructed that changed not only the social, economic and cultural life of local people, but also influenced the natural environment. In this article, we describe major investments in economic infrastructure and their contribution to the development of the tourism sector. We analyse the threats posed by the huge dependence of the Guanacaste region on tourism. Taking into account local experiences and perceptions based on field research and interviews, we are also considering the legitimacy of promoting tourism as a development path for this region, strongly promoted by the Costa Rican central government.

This article examines potential impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on key aspects of urban development: the functioning of individuals in physical sense (human bodies) in a city, urban morphology and landuse, urban mobility, as well as economic activities and service provision. The goal is to answer the question on how and to what extent the pandemic might reshape the cities and what the potential post-pandemic urban scenarios are. The analysed urban phenomena are projected against major dichotomy of urban ghettos vs. urban commons. The former is defined as further social segregation and spatial isolation, whereas the latter is based on multiple ideas inspired by the original definition of a city by Lewis Mumford. The article is concluded with two basic, symbolic, and opposite scenarios highlighting the fact that the pandemic might have opened a window of opportunity for cities to rethink their development pathways and reinvent their cultural, as well as socio-economic role.

The aim of the study is to present the differentiation of quality of life of inhabitants in peripheral areas of Eastern Poland, using the concept of livelihood security. The detailed study covered three communes of Lubelskie voivodeship with different natural environment and socio-economic conditions. The research used the method of questionnaire and interviews. The results of the study confirmed that the use of the concept of livelihood security enables an exhaustive analysis of the quality of life and makes it possible to obtain a coherent, unencumbered by sectoralism, and therefore more complete description of this phenomenon.

The objective of this text consists, first, in analyzing different concepts of the smart city, a concept that has already been in existence for some years. Subsequently, the three models of the Smart City are presented: original with an accent on technology, the most widespread that we can already call “the classic” consisting of six constituent blocks and the scalable one proposed for emerging countries. The work ends with some proposals for implementation strategies for the Smart City, organized according to three criteria: the degree of maturity of the city, socio-political implementation strategies and scope of the changes introduced.

M. Durydiwka, M. Maciejewska
The paper presents changes in the space of Jurata due to tourism. The analysis of changes was carried out according to four stages: 1920s and 1930s, period of World War II, period from 1945 to 1989, and after 1989, using archival materials, literature and quantitative data on tourist infrastructure. In the 1930s, Jurata was an elite tourist resort, as evidenced by the nature of the accommodation facilities and the profile of visiting tourists. In the post-war period, it changed its character to egalitarian. Today, it is a place with a very well-developed tourist function (e.g. Baretje’s and Defert’s index for Jurata is 998.5) and an eclectic character, which can be seen in the space of the village. There are less and less wooden houses in it, but more and more modern facilities with large cubature, which at times differs from the modernist past of Jurata.

The aim of this paper is to categorize Latin American and Caribbean countries into broader groups according to the similarities and dissimilarities between them in terms of the level (attractiveness) and determinants of FDI inflows, with regard to the two different periods. In terms of methodology, we employ agglomerative hierarchical clustering technique. The results of cluster analysis indicate that during the decade ending in 2019 there was a change in the attractiveness for FDI at the country level. In 2012, the best-performing clusters in terms of FDI inward flows as a percentage of GDP consisted of Latin American economies with the highest levels of development – Costa Rica, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. These countries exhibited good results in stock of infrastructure, level of human capital and all institutional and political variables, regardless of variables such as natural resource endowments or labour costs. This suggests that the motives of FDI inflows in more advanced Latin American countries were relatively diversified. In 2019, the cluster consisting of Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic and Mexico became the most attractive in terms of average FDI inflows as a percentage of GDP. This cluster performs better in locational determinants peculiar to the efficiency-seeking motive of FDI, such as low labour costs, low total tax and contribution rate and high degree of trade openness.

The article links the quality of available public spaces and physical space composition with social capital. Colombian city – Medellín is chosen as this particular city has gone through a tremendous transformation and is rich with different kinds of an urban environment, including traditional low-income neighbourhoods as well as social housing in the form of blocks of flats. The study discusses types of social capital that appear in neighbourhoods and points at the special importance of weak ties for the sense of security, comfort, and quality of life. The results also show that space composition can impact construction of social capital.

Urban policies conceive informal urbanization as a phenomenon to be eliminated or regularized. However, the “informal city” does not exist separately from formality, so it is necessary to understand how its actors, institutions and social arrangements function. This article, resulting from research1 , shows the changes produced in the motivations for the formation and destiny of old and new informal neighborhoods in Bogota in the light of a comparison between the Potosi neighborhood and the El Eden neighborhood. The objective is to show that the way in which the State assumes urban informality, far from meeting the needs of access to land and housing for the poorest people in the cities, generates a vicious circle where, on one hand, illegal economies win, from the illegal appropriation of land and its subsequent commercialization by “Tierreros”2 and “Urbanizadores Piratas”3 ; and on the other hand, the logics of need and the logics of the market overlap in access to land and housing in informal conditions.
