This paper reports findings from research in two districts in the environs of Warsaw (the Piaseczno district) and Olsztyn (the Stawiguda district), two major urban centres in Poland. The first district is located in the Mazowieckie province, which is the largest in Poland with respect to total area, the number of inhabitants and the acreage of agricultural land. At the same time, some rural areas have a direct influence on the most dynamie centre in Poland, the capital city Warsaw. The second district studied is situated in the province of Warmińsko-Mazurskie, which occupies a high position with regard to natural resources. This region belongs to the so-called "Green Lungs of Poland," and contains high levels of bio-diversity and specific landscape features. Data and Information were collected by examining archival records, a review of documentation and semi-structured interviews. Within the framework of field research, 38 interviews were conducted; these concerned district offices, urban dwellers, farmers and families who do not own land. The review of documentation concerned legal acts of the Republic of Poland, decisions and regulations concerning local councils and articles in the local press. (fragment of text)
