ABSTRACT
Energy transition is a process that affects entire regions, not only reducing the prevailing socio-economic conditions but most importantly, creating a new framework of functioning for their inhabitants. The changes that are taking place can be described as territorial stresses, which are factors that affect not only the psychological well-being of residents but also the economic, demographic, technological and ecological conditions of the regions. The article presents the partial results of research work conducted within the ENTRANCES project. The authors compare two carbon-intensive regions: Kraków Metropolitan Area (high air pollution area) and Silesia (coal mining area). Comparing the results of the two components and thus the research methods:
(1) the identification and systematization of the socio-cultural stress situation (a component describing events relevant to the transformation of the regions from 1945–2022 and the sparing of its significance on the development conditions in the regions;
(2) the assessment of the adaptive capacity of the residents based on their attachment to the place, individual adaptation strategies for resolving tensions and the level of life satisfaction (socio-psychological component).
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Terytorialna trauma czy doświadczenie modernizacji? Krakowski Obszar Metropolitalny i Śląsk jako studia przypadków dotknięte intensywnymi procesami transformacji energetycznej
transformacja energetyczna, terytorialna trauma, rezygnacja z węgla
Transformacja energetyczna jest procesem oddziaływującym na całe regiony, nie tylko zmieniając panujące w nich warunki społeczno-gospodarcze, ale przede wszystkim tworzy nowe ramy funkcjonowania dla ich mieszkańców. Zmiany, które zachodzą, określić można mianem stresu terytorialnego, który jest czynnikiem wpływającym nie tylko na dobrostan psychiczny mieszkańców, ale oddziałującym również na kondycje ekonomiczną, demograficzną, technologiczną i ekologiczną regionów. Artykuł stanowi prezentację częściowych wyników prac badawczych prowadzonych w ramach projektu ENTRANCES. Autorzy dokonują porównania dwóch regionów intensywnych węglowo: Krakowski Obszar Metropolitalny (obszar wysokiej emisji) oraz Śląsk (obszar górniczy). Badanie przedstawia także zestawienie wyników dwóch analizowanych komponentów i tym samym metod badawczych:
(1) identyfikacji i usystematyzowania sytuacji stresu społeczno-kulturowego (komponent analizujący wydarzenia istotne z punktu transformacji regionów z lat 1945–2022) oraz oszacowanie jego znaczenia na warunki rozwoju w regionach;
(2) oceny zdolności adaptacyjnych mieszkańców na podstawie ich przywiązania do miejsca, indywidualnych strategii adaptacji, rozwiązywania napięć oraz poziomu satysfakcji życiowej (komponent socjopsychologiczny).
