The results shows that: (1) the position of geography among other disciplines is relatively high, however the relative position of human geography in social sciences is higher than that of physical geography in natural and exact sciences, (2) both geographical disciplines show an adverse 'trade balance' in scientific exchange, (3) human geography is more 'introverted', (4) relations between human geography and other disciplines are stronger than in the case of physical geography.

These changes relate to various aspects of our lives (institutional, economic, social) and different levels of territorial authority and administration (national, regional, local). Cities, especially large metropolitan centers, play special role in the process of transformation. Poznań is recognized as one of the centers which made good use of the opportunities offered to Polish cities following Poland’s accession to the European Union. This marketing and media image, however, requires verification, based on a reliable scientific data and objectified analytical methods.

The article relies on the results of a qualitative research based primarily on in-depth interviews conducted in one of the rural communities of Wielkopolska (Greater Poland, one of the Po-land's regions). The theoretical framework employed are J. Habermas's (2002) concepts of lifeworld and system. The results showed that each category of persons saw and assessed the local authorities' decision to reorganise the school network in a different way. The most critical about it were the teachers and the most positive were the pupils of the transformed and liquidated schools. The attitudes of the individual categories of respondents are interpreted in terms of how the results of those changes affect their 'lifeworlds', their intermingling, and their relations with " the system " .
