The Prolegomena to Research of the Rescue Culture in Poland

Abstract

The paper presents an outline of the rescue culture in Poland. It was achieved by the specification of the research object, building and characterizing the ideal model of the rescue culture, as well as description of the general culture determinants. The hypothesis was acknowledged with the use of theoretical research methods. The author found out that the ideal model can be built on the base of the Cieślarczyk‘s security culture model, taking into consideration all areas of the rescue operations. Whereas relevant determinants have their main source in rescue entities specification. The determinants are expressed by commonly accepted values, established standards, expressed patterns and behaviors as well as conducted operations (including emergency cooperation).
