Analiza rozwoju wybranych inwestycji celu publicznego w gminie Zbuczyn ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem potrzeb młodzieży

Abstract

The development of public purpose investment has an impact on the quality of life of the inhabitants of rural areas, especially an increase in the attractiveness of the area, which translates into a rise in the level of satisfaction of residents and in the long run leads to the growth of the number of inhabitants. The purpose of the research was to analyze the needs for the development of public purpose investment on the example of a rural municipality. The following public purpose facilities were selected for the study: rural cultural centres, communal libraries, sports fi elds and playgrounds. The research area covered the municipality of Zbuczyn, which covers an area of 210.8 km2, and which is located in the Masovian Voivodeship, in the Siedlce Poviat. A map of spatial distribution of selected public purpose objects was drawn up on the basis of information obtained from the Zbuczyn Municipality Office together with an analysis of planning layout documents and a site inspection. The analysis of development needs was made on the basis of the questionnaire conducted with the inhabitants of the municipality. The survey was conducted in autumn 2017 on a group of 227 people. Due to the type of analyzed public purpose investments, the survey was addressed mainly to young people (i.e. under 18 years old). Zbuczyn municipality has a well developed network of public purpose facilities which is known to and which is used by as many as 77% of respondents. Surveys show that the frequency of use of these objects increases as the distance to specific facilities decreases. According to the residents, the distance above 5 km is already a distance, which signifi cantly limits access to a given facility. Residents mainly feel the lack of objects in the fi eld of sports, tourism and recreation, for example, lack of swimming pools, ice rinks, outdoor gyms, etc. When deciding on the development of the above-mentioned facilities, the municipality should take into consideration their spatial distribution in the municipality, as well as encourage residents to become more interested in larger involvement in the planning process.
