The aim of the study is to identify the factors determining the satisfaction of people undertaking activity in the field of outdoor recreation and to use them to build a model of satisfaction. In the introduction, the concept of outdoor recreation and satisfaction is clarified. As a result of a critical analysis of literature, the following factors determining satisfaction were discusses: a hierarchy of needs, recreation opportunity spectrum, congestion, quality, stress, individual perception of adventure, emotional states, and recreational conflict. It was found that the model of satisfaction in outdoor recreation should take into account as many variables as possible: situational factors (environmental, social, and economic resources) and subjective factors (socioeconomic characteristics, attitudes and preferences, cultural characteristics, subjective norms, experience, perception of risk, congestion, and the perception of recreational conflict). The multifaceted nature of satisfaction makes it a very sensitive indicator for the impact of management factors, that is, those which may affect outdoor recreation managers. The author suggests that the measurements of satisfaction levels should relate to the satisfaction of various elements of leisure services, environmental features, specific experience or benefits, and the general level of satisfaction with participation in a particular form of outdoor recreation.

The concept of creative recreation is currently gaining a new meaning. The author proposes expanding the meaning of recreation to include creative recreation by drawing on insights from psycho-pedagogical theories of creativity. Nowadays creative recreation is also being explored more broadly in the context of urban space, as exemplified by workshops during which participants try to create urban space. The phenomenon of creative recreation in urban space is therefore an interesting subject for research, especially with a view to identifying factors that determine where creative activity is organised. The main research question addressed in this article is who and why organises outdoor creative recreation in urban recreational space? The study focuses on Łódź, a UNESCO Creative City of Film, which is analysed as an example of a city promoting itself as a creative urban centre. The author analyses results of interviews with experts and organisers of outdoor creative recreation, which show the latter ones as open-minded, engaged, and passionate. Other important characteristics revealed by the interviewees include cooperation with others, attempts to look for new ways of organising leisure time and new forms of mutual promotion. The organisers of outdoor creative recreation also expressed their strong attachment their city.

The article addresses the question of adapting public spaces, including parks and gardens, to the needs of people with disabilities for the purpose of outdoor recreation. According to the principles of universal design, public spaces should enable social inclusion, which implies respect for current needs of diverse populations. The study described in the article focuses on the needs of people with vision impairment regarding outdoor recreation and adjustments that need to be made in the infrastructure of parks and gardens. The aim of the study was to answer three key questions: (1) How can outdoor experiences be made accessible to people with visual impairments? (2) How can outdoor experiences be encouraged, rethought and redesigned for people with visual impairments? (3) What barriers stop people with visual disabilities from participating in outdoor leisure in sensory gardens? These questions are answered using insights from desk research, data from an inventory of selected sensory gardens and interviews with blind and partially sighted respondents. The study, conducted between June and August 201, covered 15 gardens located in various parts in Poland: in cities, rural areas and areas of natural value. The interviews, involving 32 respondents, were held directly in the gardens in cooperation with the Polish Association for the Blind. The results were used to formulate recommendations for good practice in the field of universal garden design, which can provide sensory experiences for everyone, including people with visual impairments. The observed development of sensory gardens seems to reflects a great interest in this type of outdoor sites, which are conducive to recreation, education, integration, and social inclusion. Solutions applied in sensory gardens should provide inspiration for creating universal gardens, accessible to everyone.

The aim of the article is to describe the phenomenon and distribution of outdoor creative recreation in the recreational space of Łódź. The concept of creative recreation has been redefined, combining the geography of tourism and recreational geography with psycho-pedagogical theories about creativity. Using the operational definition an investigation was conducted, narrowed down to an analysis of events of outdoor creative recreation in Łódź in 2019. On its basis, its spatial distribution was analyzed. Thanks to the analysis, it was shown most commonly the nature of events was related to cultural and entertainment activities, taking place during the summer season, and were often cyclical and free of charge. Moreover, as part of the distribution analysis, it was indicated that the analyzed events were organized predominantly in green and post-industrial areas and the city center dominated. Other important locational factors of these events were also indicated. Its characteristics and the distribution of outdoor creative recreation are in line with research on the quality of urban recreational space which will translate into a better quality of life for residents. The example of Łódź, a city entered into the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, allows for a discussion on the importance of the organization of urban recreational space for the development of modern cities.

Celem artykułu jest charakterystyka zjawiska plenerowej rekreacji twórczej oraz jej rozmieszczenia w przestrzeni rekreacyjnej Łodzi. Pojęcie rekreacji twórczej zostało na nowo zdefiniowane przez połączenie założeń geografii turyzmu i geografii rekreacji z psychopedagogicznymi teoriami dotyczącymi twórczości. Wykorzystując definicję operacyjną badanego zjawiska, przeprowadzono kwerendę zawężoną do analizy wydarzeń z zakresu rekreacji twórczej w plenerze Łodzi w 2019 r. Na jej podstawie dokonano analizy przestrzennej rozmieszczenia zjawiska, dzięki której dowiedziono, że badane wydarzenia najczęściej miały charakter aktywności kulturalno-rozrywkowej, odbywały się w porze letniej, zwykle były cykliczne, bezpłatne i organizowane na terenach zieleni i terenach postindustrialnych, znajdujących się przeważnie w centrum miasta. Wskazano także inne istotne czynniki lokalizacji tego typu wydarzeń. Charakterystyka zjawiska rekreacji twórczej i jej rozmieszczenia w plenerze wpisuje się w badania nad jakością organizacji miejskiej przestrzeni rekreacyjnej, która wpływa na wyższy standard życia mieszkańców. Przykład Łodzi, miasta wpisanego do Sieci Miast Kreatywnych UNESCO, pozwala na podjęcie dyskusji na temat znaczenia organizacji miejskiej przestrzeni rekreacyjnej dla rozwoju współczesnych miast.
