Usługowe obiekty NIMBY w oczach mieszkańców Łodzi
NIMBY is an acronym from English words: not in my back yard. The term is used
to describe the idea of objecting to some noxious facilities in the nearest neighborhood
and at the same time not objecting to the fact they are necessary. The research
shows differences between some NIMBY facilities which have been pointed
out in ¸ódê and those which have been analyzed in the western countries. There is
a Polish unique character of NIMBY objects: the unwanted objects are rarely huge
facilities. Polish NIMBIES seem to be very local. Large factories which are said
to be very onerous in the western countries are hardly controversial in ¸ódê
which was on the contrary to various service workshops. The most numerous group
of NIMBY objects in ¸ódê are trading premises (over 30%), the succeeding figures
in the ranking were: the social infrastructure objects (25%), public transport
and municipal infrastructure (together 27%). The presented figures are the result
of the fact that plenty of service workshops have been setting up in a residential
area since the beginning of 90s and the process has been continuing up to now.
