MAZOVIA Regional Studies issue 53

Dear Readers,

We would like to inform you that the 53rd issue of the periodical MAZOVIA Regional Studies has already been published and you are cordially invited to read.

The part Analyses and Studies opens with an article by Beata Stelmach-Fita titled Harmonisation of data sets on land use: Definitions and directions of integrated development planning in Poland. The main theme is the evaluation of the implementation of the Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (INSPIRE) in Poland, which established the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community.

The article titled The “Lex Developer” Act – functioning of the so-called Housing Act in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship in the years 2018–2023 by Katarzyna Farska, Jan Girczuk and Magdalena Sugajska discusses the impact of the so-called special act on the facilitation of the preparation and realisation of housing investments and accompanying investments on spatial planning in less than 6 years of its applicability.

The third article titled 100 years of spatial planning in Poland by way of example of Warsaw: The years 1928–1946 by Anna Wieczorek and Magnolia Gorzelak concerns development plans produced under the Regulation of the President of the Republic of Poland on Construction Law and Development of Estates of 16 February 1928 (with the original spelling from the legal acts of the interwar period).

In the Self-government section you shall find an article titled Implementation of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship Regional Operational Programme 2014–2020 in the municipalities of the Siedlce subregion by Monika Kierzkowska. From the article, we learn that beneficiaries from the Siedlce subregion filed 568 proposals under the RPO WM 2014–2020 with a value of PLN 1395.9 million and requested funding of PLN 903.8 million. The benefits of the Programme are numerous and noticeable in aspects of everyone’s life.

The Varia section contains two reports on energy transition issues. In the first one, Beata Wereda describes the Mazovian Energy Communities Forum; in the second one, Elżbieta Goryszewska summarises the second day of the Climate Congress of Poland 2025.

Enjoy your reading.
