The dynamics of processes occurring in urban structures prompts the discussion concerning numerous issues that so far have not decisively contributed to urban development. This paper presents a discussion on the requirement of rational governance of urban space in relation to the need for strategic planning of city development. The subject of considerations is the assessment of the relationship between spatial planning and strategic planning in the context of building the competitiveness of the city. The presented dilemmas around the need to ensure in practice the cohesion between these two types of planning and the described effects of the lack of such cohesion represent a contribution to the debate on contemporary determinants of managing the development of urban structures. Recommendations for public authorities, indicating the need to implement the cohesion of strategic and spatial planning in governance practice, are also presented.

The publication presents the issues of sustainable development of rural areas in the context of effective resource management. The issues of their protection and sustainable use were combined, taking into account the requirements of various areas (economic, social, cultural, legal and environmental protection). The main types of resources, functions and significance related to their use were analyzed. The consequences of changes in the environment, as well as the possibilities of solving and possible threats to the most current problems were determined. Attention was paid to the most important environmental components – air, water, climate, landscape and biodiversity problems.
The publication emphasizes the sustainable management of natural resources – the use of natural resources will bring many benefits to inhabitants of rural areas. A study evaluating the status of natural resources, management measures and value for the sustainable development of the Zasliai Community in the Kaisiadoris region has been described here. The study identifies and justifies the directions of improvement of natural resources management, in accordance with the components of sustainable development (economic, environmental and socio-social).

The territorial approach to development widely recognised in the European Union and in Poland makes it necessary to form and support territorial structures based on cooperation, capable of identifying their own resources, of establishing and accomplishing common objectives. Another essential aspect seems to be the ability to establish different kinds of cooperation depending on available opportunities, needs and chances. In this context the issue of social participation takes on a new significance. In Poland social participation and partnership only recently became essential elements of planning development at all local administration levels. Local action groups are a component of institutional infrastructure in rural areas whose main purpose is to stimulate bottom-up approach to development. 
The aim of the paper was to identify the forms and methods of engaging local communities in action aimed at development of a region, recognise groups that are eager to cooperate and identify barriers.

The main thesis of this paper assumes that future entrepreneurs’ salary expectations may be the most important reason for them to attend entrepreneurship education and begin business activity. The main aim of this article was to analyse future entrepreneurs’ salary expectations with comparison to other students’ and graduates’ salary expectations and needs towards their first employer, then check the influence of entrepreneurship education on this expectations. However the entrepreneurship intention can be changed by different choice of individual career path to become rather an employee than an entrepreneur. Therefore entrepreneurship education may be also an important factor of this choice. The paper presents results of surveys conducted among the students of the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in years 2014 (N = 971), 2015 (N = 1241), 2016 (N = 1320), and 2017 (N = 1262). This wide time span of research combined with the large group of students and graduates gave also a very close view to the future entrepreneurs’ expectations towards state’s institutions and support. However results are only representative for researched university. Students and graduates of Wroclaw University of Science and Technology undertake professional activity, every year more often both as entrepreneurs and employees. In both cases they are rarely able to accurately assess the value of their qualifications. Future entrepreneurs are driven to become successful business owners because of the sense of personal achievement it provides and for financial stability, according to presented in this paper research.

School is a specific public organization. Its difference from other organizations is, among other things, that it brings together specific and diverse stakeholders: students, parents and employe­es. The implementation of the goals of such an organization depends to a large extent on the director of the educational institution. The conceptual and social skills of the person managing the school have a significant impact on the formation of correct relationships in a diverse environment.
The article attempts to draw attention to the potentially large role of parents’ council in managing a public school. The competences of the parents’ council were emphasized while showing areas of cooperation with the school’s director.

Public procurement is a huge sphere of activity of various types of public institutions (contracting authorities) and private organizations (bidders). It is also a specific market in which different values and logics of action collide – on the one hand, the pursuit of profit, on the other the primacy of saving and care for the „taxpayers money”. It is expected that, like every market, public procurement systems will operate according to the logic of open and free competition, which in turn will translate into rational behavior of both contracting parties and bidders. Practice shows, however, that syncretic nature of the procurement market is also the source of its problems. Public procurement is not only free from abuses and bad governance, but it is also traditionally identified as one of the main areas of risk of corruption. The risk of corruption in the public procurement market might be observed by identifying factors disrupting its basic feature – competitiveness. This text is a presentation of the possibility of applying a „single-bidder” (a situation in which only one valid bid appears in a competitive, open procurement procedure) as an indicator of corruption risk. The aim is also to draw a broader theoretical background on which the use of this indicator gains deeper meaning.
