ON THE PROBLEMS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE BUILDING SECTOR

The article aims to present a postulated model of building organizatio n in Poland. The need for change stems both from a critical assessment of a yet-existing model, from the new economic and state organization , and from new ways of governing the state. The intensive housing shor tage in Poland is the result of 40 years of a paradigm of organization in the building branch of the national economy in Poland. Reform intr oduced in the 1980's mostly concerned financial liberation of one of t he multiple participants of the building process -- the construction e nterprise. Reform, however, has worsened the economic effectiveness of building organization taken as a whole. It has become an organization in name only; rather, it has become an assemblage of alienated units. The postulated model of building organization stems from the declared directions of state and economic reforms. The assurance of the local character of the building movement is of primary importance here. Reor ganization would allow the emergence and growth of local building mark ets, The effects of the already introduced reforms are assessed as ina dequate. Still in power is the mechanism of subordination of building enterprise to central regulators. Large units prevailing in the struct ure of building potential, and gigantesque-scale technologies are the biggest obstacles to the local financing and local organization of bui lding potential.
