This article presented the hypothesis that expert systems can extend traditional economic modelling. Before this hypothesis was examined, expert systems were specified and example swere given. Expert systems use a knowledge base, often of the form of “if A, then B” rules. It has been highlighted that expert systems have not as often been applied in economics as in other disciplines, like medicine or business science. A SWOT analysis for the stated hypothesis was conducted. Based on this qualitative analysis, the hypothesis was not rejected. An expert system for supporting inflation forecasts will be built in the nearer future.

PL

W niniejszym artykule postawiono hipotezę, że system ekspercki może rozszerzyć tradycyjne podejście modelowe w ekonomii, a także, że systemy te z powodzeniem możemy zastosować do problemów ekonomicznych. Zanim przetestowano hipotezę przedstawiono przykłady zastosowań systemu eksperckiego oraz wykazano, w jaki sposób korzysta ów system z bazy wiedzy. System ten w wielu przypadkach opiera się na warunku, „jeżeli A to B”. Zaznaczono także, że stosowanie systemu eksperckiego jest nieporównywalnie mniej popularne w ekonomii niż w medycynie czy w praktyce biznesowej. Przeprowadzono analizę SWOT w celu weryfikacji hipotezy. Wyniki analizy jakościowej nie pozwalają odrzucić hipotezy, system ekspercki pozwala zmniejszyć niepewność zmiennych ekonomicznych, gdy tylko dostarczymy jemu rzetelną bazę wiedzy. System ekspercki także pomógłby w prognozowaniu inflacji, dlatego ciekawym rozwinięciem powyższych rozważań byłaby budowa systemu eksperckiego wspomagająca prognozowanie inflacji.

The aim of the paper is to identify the role of SWOT analysis in the formulation of tourism development strategies for destinations. SWOT analysis helps to establish a reliable diagnosis of the internal potential shown by a tourism destination and its environment. In the Polish economic situation, SWOT analysis is frequently used in a fragmentary manner which should be considered as a serious methodological oversight and may jeopardize the value of the entire process related to the strategic management of the tourism destination.

This article investigates the change of Russian-Belarusian relations after the Ukraine conflict. With the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, relations between the two countries have reached a critical point. This is mainly due to two factors. Firstly, the Belarusian elite have decided to remain neutral in connection with the crisis for fear that the conflict could escalate into the territory of Belarus. Secondly, the Russian Federation expected Belarus’s loyalty to the Kremlin. It cannot be unambiguously stated that the tense situation in the region is only a threat to Belarus. The SWOT analysis presented by the author in the final part of the text introduces the possibilities and obstacles to exploiting the potential of the Ukrainian Maidan. The author tried to describe the current alternatives to Belarusian politics, which after the outbreak of the conflict became hostage to its own political interests.

Despite growing awareness of its importance, most sustainability education efforts in tertiary institutions do not significantly impact curricula. This paper details some of the activities and processes used to draft a sustainability strategic plan designed to address sustainability at the curricular level rather than merely the operational level within a large college of education at a large U.S. public university. The plan is also presented. Our goal was not to articulate a fixed policy but rather to produce a coherent plan that (1) fosters awareness and encourage people to join the effort and (2) readily accommodates input as more people become involved. The plan consists of three position statements, five broad recommendations and 20 specific actions aligned with the five recommendations. The hope is that our development processes, analyses and plan will be useful to other teacher education colleges and other groups with similar organisational structures interested in developing sustainability plans.

This paper discusses recreational use of protected land with the example of Las Kabacki, a forest located in the southern part of Warsaw, in the vicinity of the district of Ursynów. The area has been excluded from traditional forest cultivation since 1938. From 1980 onwards it has enjoyed the status of a reserve due to its natural resources and scenic attributes. Highly developed and densely populated residential areas (Natolin-Wyżyny and Kabaty) lie adjacent to the northern border of the forest. For their inhabitants, Las Kabacki is a key recreational area. This results in a functional and spatial conflict of interests between nature protection objectives on the one hand and the recreational needs of inhabitants on the other hand. To find the answer to the question of how to match the interests of a natural reserve with leisure requirements, users of Las Kabacki were asked for their opinions regarding the following issues: the natural values of the reserve and their perception, forms of preferred recreational behaviour in the reserve, awareness of threats to the natural environment in the reserve arising from anthropogenic pressure, readiness to resign from preferred forms of leisure in favour of protecting nature, and possibilities for eliminating the conflict of interests between the recreational use of the reserve and protection of its natural values. Also, two SWOT analyses were carried out aimed at determining a nature conservation strategy in the reserve as well as its leisure use.

Purpose. Digitalization has contributed to the dynamic development of both the private and professional lives of many people. The form of physical and virtual tools has brought huge benefits but also there have been some negative effects of transferring everyday affairs to virtual space. The aim of the article is to try to identify the structures of digitalization in the Polish TFL sector and to present the advantages, disadvantages, development opportunities and threats arising from the use of modern electronic infrastructure in the activities of TFL enterprises. Methodology. The study was carried out using the desk research method and in-depth interview. Using the first research technique an outline of the discussion was created and the structure of the vertical division of digitalization was identified. In-depth interviews with dozens of people performing various functions in the TFL sector allowed to increase the thematic scope with empirical data which allowed to characterize the horizontal structure. The results were condensed in the form of a SWOT analysis. Findings. The research confirmed the possibility of a two-structure approach to the digitalization of the TFL sector enterprises and that digitalization can have both positive and negative impact on the activities of those enterprises.

Nakhon Sawan Province is located in Upper Central Thailand, where the Chao Phraya River, the vital river of Thailand, begins. According to the distribution of the archaeological sites, the related geological features were divided into two groups by geodiversity scope: (1) hydrological sites - Chao Phraya river, Bueng Boraphet lake, (2) speleological sites - Tham Phet-Tham Thong cave and Khoa Nor mountain. The hydrological sites are the primary water resources of local people since many hundred years, including transportation, agriculture, and fishery, so there are many archaeological sites around there. In addition, the speleological sites are covered with limestones intruded by the granitic rocks, which has caused ore deposition in the form of skarn. The evidence of antiquities in the archaeological site near speleological sites suggests that ancient people discovered and produced their ores, notably iron in the studied area. Based on inventory, characterization, classification, and assessment methods, this preliminary geoarchaeology study can support Nakhon Sawan to promote geotourism for sustainability by their stunning geological features, fantastic nature as well as beautiful culture, both past and present.

The present study deals with the evaluation of the management of Veľká Fatra National Park and its comparison with three other selected national parks of the Visegrád Four: Bohemian Switzerland National Park (Czech Republic), Bieszczady National Park (Poland) and the Bükk National Park (Hungary). The information about Veľká Fatra National Park was acquired through a SWOT analysis. The weaknesses and threats found following the SWOT analysis were further evaluated by an analysis of the "force field" and a "problem analysis". The management applied in individual parks was evaluated through the expert system Integrated Protected Area Management (IPAM) with the aim to improve the present management. Another part of the examination is the evaluation of the environmental edification and of the consciousness of students of grammar schools and secondary schools, both in the region where the National Park is located and outside that region. The examination for this study was carried out between 2010-2014. A survey of the environmental consciousness and edification has been implemented in all surveyed countries and the tool of exploratory method was a questionnaire, which was distributed to 1301 respondents. The survey managed to confirm the assumption that in some areas the level of environmental consciousness of the target group is very low. This situation is justified by the fact that schools do not have a precise definition in what form and to what extent attention should be paid to this field. Another reason is the insufficient cooperation between schools and National Parks. References: Beregszászi, P. (1995). Štúdia k pojmu cestovný ruch orientovaný na životné prostredie.

Attractiveness of Lviv as an urban tourist destination has grown over recent decades. The increase in numbers of visits and visitors to this city inevitably makes an important impact on local economy, cultural developments, community life, etc., and consequently gives rise to certain sustainability issues. In order to assure a long-term planning and effective management of the city’s tourism assets it is essential to run monitoring programs aimed at spotting problem areas and determining needs for changes in local tourism development. This paper aims at using indicators of sustainability of Lviv urban destination as a central instrument for improved planning and management of tourism business in the city. The research methods combine SWOT analysis and a survey carried out in 2016 in a joint effort of the authors, students of Lviv Ivan Franko National University majoring in Tourism and the City Institute commissioned by Department of Tourism of Lviv City Council. As the results of SWOT analysis suggest, main strengths of Lviv urban destination include: a) an abundance of cultural, architectural, historical and religious attractions; b) a big number of cultural and touristic events and festivals regularly held in the city; b) an increasing amount of educational offerings to people who want to get qualifications in tourism-related fields, as well as numerous opportunities for professional improvement of tourism industry workers. The opportunities mainly consist in: a) favorable conditions for the growth of businesses involved in tourism service; b) increasing income to the city budget generated by tourism industry; c) sociocultural benefits available to the local community such as a growing number of art objects, cultural venues and other assets that can be used and enjoyed by the local residents, as well as improved accessibility of various city facilities for the disabled. Among the major weaknesses and threats are a) lack of a strategy for the development of tourism industry in the framework of the overall Strategy of the city competitiveness; b) uncontrolled construction works in the historical part of town, excess of cars and traffic congestions, limited space for tourists; c) runaway of local inhabitants from the historical part of the city; d) the increased use of resources, infrastructure overload, and the problem of wastes disposal. After processing all the data collected in the study, we were able to determine the key indicators of the destination sustainability, namely tourist attractiveness of the city and tourist satisfaction with the destination. The former indicator is built upon the following sub-indicators: the presence of cultural, historical and religious sites, cultural events and entertainment, hospitality of the local population, general atmosphere and beauty of the city. The latter indicator includes information about tourist evaluation of the quality of such tourism services as accommodation, food and catering, tourist information, transportation as well as factors like availability and prices for public commodities and services, transport connections with other cities, condition of roads, security issues, etc. As a result of indicator analysis, indexes of Lviv attractiveness as an urban tourist destination and tourist satisfaction with local tourism services were calculated.
