"Logistics management in Kingdom of Poland in constitutional and Paskievich era. The roadside infrastructure" - Summary
The aim of this  research study is to show the area of logistics management in Kingdom of Poland in the context of a roadside infrastructure. Chronological frameworks, depending on the availability of source archive and printed materials, are closed in the period between 1815 and  1867. It should be noted that the logistics management of this period was strictly related to the occurrence of a number of important factors in decision-making process. Among them, the most obvious importance was, of course, combined with the transportation administration of  Kingdom,  which was characterized anyway by undergoing through a number of dramatic organizational changes. Originally, it preceeded  as part of Government Commission of Internal Affairs (of Interior), namely as the Directorate of Roads and Bridges, letar as the Directoriate of Land and Water Communication.

This administration has been followed in the late 30's and 40's by single board authority, to formally become since 1842  Board of Land and Water Communications, thus since 1847  becoming  a direct part of Russian  imperial administration, as so-called  13^th District  of Communications. After a short brake  of momentary  independent period, finally in 1867 the Polish authorities were re-subordinated as part of St. Petersburg’s logistics management board, this time as  11^th Department of Communications.

The monograph provides a deepened analysis of many specific issues, and  obtained conclusions of research show the high efficiency of the logistics management in selected aspects of the transport problems that occured in Kingom of Poland at  the time. This includes issues such as: a) problem  of road signs; b) funtionning  and management of road barracks,  as well as  points of fee collection and houses for linemen; c) inns and hostels; d) planting and protection of roadside trees and bushes. Described above research aspects of the prhenomenon of logistics in Kingdom of Poland of the hard prerussification era, were generally focused on possible reconstruction of their management processes, with particular emphasis put on their legislative aspect. Another postulate was to present, in some cases, the undertaken organizational and material solutions.
