Agnieszka Małkowska, Małgorzata Uhruska - Doing Business in Property Valuation – Survey Results

From surveys addressed to property appraisers, authors distinguish the forms and scope of business operations on the real estate valuation services market. Besides, they point to the signs of development which have occurred in recent years, according to respondents opinions, as well as indicate the development prospects for the future. The changes that have taken place in the institutional and legal environment and the market of real estate valuation services in recent years prompted the authors to confront current research results with information obtained in similar surveys carried out ten years ago. In addition to the assessment of the current state, the article also indicates the scope of changes in the property valuation profession and the evolution of this professional area.

Katarzyna Kania, Łukasz Kmieć - Effects of Deregulation of the Real Estate Agent Profession in the Opinion of the Industry Representatives
The presented article discusses the problem of the impact of deregulation of the Real Estate Agent profession on the real estate agency market. In order to do that, research was carried out among some industry representatives, who were supposed to assess the effects of the legislative changes. Since 2014, the access to the job of a real estate agent has been unlimited. When confronting this state of affairs with one of the characteristics of the real estate market which refers to the requirement of professional service considering the good which real estate is, there are a number of concerns related to the provision of the appropriate quality of services rendered by real estate agents. Therefore, the hypothesis formulated is as follows: the cancellation of required licences contributes to a decrease in the quality of real estate agency services due to the lack of obligation to verify knowledge and competences, and it forces organisations which are the representative of the real estate market professions to build a strong system of standards leading to the professionalisation and improvement of social recognition for the real estate agent profession.

Grażyna Plichta - The Influence of Overtourism and Short-term Rental on the Real Estate Market on the Example of the City of Krakow
The aim of the article is to identify the scale of the overtourism problem in the context of one of its areas, namely the residential real estate market on the example of one of the most famous historical cities ? Krakow. The specific objective is to broaden the knowledge about one of new phenomena on this market, namely short-term rental, as one of the key problems, in addition to gentrification related to overtourism. As shown in the article, the problem of overtourism is in the early stage of development in Krakow and only its first symptoms can be observed. Therefore, due to the existence of partial data on the tourism market, it is difficult to perform a reliable statistical analysis. Conclusions from the deliberations carried out in the article and the information gap in this respect prompted the author to outline the assumptions of the research programme in this field, considering both quantitative and qualitative methods. In the article an explorative approach was used.

Borys Sydoruk, Olga Boryk - Assessment of the Impact of the Ecological Component in the Agricultural Land Use System on the Balance of Land Use in Ukraine
Indicators of the agricultural and ecological status of agricultural land and the level of the ecological status of the territory in the regions of Ukraine are studied by the authors. According to the results of the conducted analysis, it is proposed to rank the regions of Ukraine in accordance with the score of these indicators. Areas where it is first of all necessary to take measures aimed at balancing the use of land and resource potential are identified. The conducted research of the ecological component in the system of agricultural land use is crucial in the theory and practice of agricultural activity, since it allows us to assess the state of the impact of environmental factors on the balance of land use. Such an assessment is important to substantiate a set of measures aimed at optimising the use of land resources at the level of both the state and individual agrarian formations.

Anna Wojewnik-Filipkowska - Municipal Investment Management – a Comparative Analysis of Related Decision-making Process in Gdańsk and Edinburgh
Municipalities are the owners of diverse, valuable and capital–intensive assets which require strategic and operational management. The management requires decision–making relating to the use, maintenance but also the development of the multifunctional assets. The aim of the research is to identify and compare the investment related decision–making in two local governments – Edinburgh in Scotland and Gdańsk in Poland. The aim is addressed by taking an in-depth look at the two selected cities around four specific “key themes” relating to strategy, organisation, portfolio and financing to find out about the practice of municipal investment decision–making processes. The work is novel in terms of providing insights into municipal investment management in the specific key themes. Similarities and differences in the key themes have been identified for the municipalities which confirm the diversity of municipalities and municipal investment management. In a narrow sense, the differences depend on the purpose, durability and functions of investment; in a broad sense – on public management organisational fluctuations, tradition, achievements and historical aspect. The confrontation of two different approaches of municipal investment management is useful for public managers looking for the best practice, effectiveness and efficiency improvement. However, additional analysis of other cases should be performed to confirm the findings on improving investment decision–making by local governments.

Agnieszka Włoch-Szymla - City Development Strategies in the Urban Planning Context vs. the Quality of Living – Case Study of Vienna
The prime principle according to which a city operates is an urban area development plan. For many years now Vienna has been perceived as a city of the top quality of living and safety. Such a high level of the quality of living is influenced by many measures. The objective of this paper is to present the widest possible view on the types of solutions adopted when planning the development of Vienna. It demonstrates the Viennese model of the spatial policy in the housing environment context upon the example of Nordbahnhofgelände. It also attempts to compare the quality of living in selected housing estates, which constitute examples of the implementation of strategic goals set forth in the City Development Plans STEP in individual periods. The analysed example of Vienna confirms that the consistently implemented City Development Strategy has a significant effect on the improvement of the quality of life of its citizens.

Sebastian Brańka - The Promotional Impact of the Top Polish Cities in the Eyes of City Promotion Managers
The article presents the results of research conducted among promotion managers supervising promotion in 51 of 59 biggest cities in Poland. The accompanying review of scientific literature shows that there are not many articles dedicated to the problem of measuring effectiveness in either place promotion, marketing or branding. The results of the research show that there are substantial differences in the effectiveness of promotion targeted at particular audiences of a city. Promotion directed at domestic audiences proved efficient in the case of more cities than promotion directed at foreign audiences. The analysis of differences in the structure of responses between subgroups of the cities shows that in the case of cities with a well-developed function (tourism, business) their promotion efforts seem more efficient.
