Sustainable Development, Socially Responsible and Ecologically Managed, Increases the World’s Ecological Security: Research on Poland and Polish Regional Cities
The essence of the research was to fill the gap in knowledge about ecological safety consistent with social responsibility, sustainable development and environmental management. The conceptualization of research problems allowed the preparation of methodological assumptions for the analysis and assessment of the ecological security of the country, on the example of its regional cities. Theoretical and empirical studies were carried out. The scientific and utilitarian purposes of the research are given. Research thesis: the concept of the state as an ecologically safe organization is based on the concept of cities as an object of knowledge—as opposed to cities as a tool of action. The assumptions were related to environmental aspects. Among other things, the adopted development strategies for regional cities in Poland were analyzed. Models for the development of ecological security have been created. Overall statement: the lack of a single ecologically safe country is sufficient proof of the lack of global ecological security. The author formulated and provided definitions of: city, smart city and ecological security of the state.
