Over the centuries, folk culture in Poland has undergone many changes due to natural civilization processes – from the culture catering for basic needs of rural society, to commercial culture catering mainly for tourists’ needs. The cultural products created on the basis of its resources, being more or less authentic, begin to determine the attractiveness of many regions in Poland. The article attempts to establish the potential and development possibilities of cultural tourism in rural areas of Poland, considering the regional differences. Furthermore, the author is reviewing terms connected with the use of folk culture resources, and she also draws attention to process of creating cultural products and its influence on the folk culture commercialization.

Services related to leisure time are treated as an important factor in the development of cities - a factor creating urban recreational spaces. It is also important to provide such spaces with appropriate elements of infrastructure, which would contribute to increasing its attractiveness. Urban recreational spaces gain more and more experimental and unique forms and are more and more defined in terms of functionality, aesthetics and identity. This article includes three examples of this type of spaces in Łódź. On the basis of conducted research, there was presented the importance of infrastructure arrangements that are thought-through and “well-anchored” in the urban tissue.

Łódź, as a city of huge post-industrial and modern art potential, has become in recent years a unique Polish tourism destination whose urban fabric constitutes a perfect background for street art. Examples are the murals of the Urban Forms Gallery (large format artworks) which contribute to revitalisation as well as the creation of new tourism assets to form a new tourism space: art-tourism space. The paper describes both the process of creating this space as well as its distinctive features.

This article is a terminological discussion concerning sports tourism and those experts who stress its complexity, multifacetedness and heterogeneity. They distinguish between passive and active participation in sports disciplines and at the same time stress the huge role this form of tourism plays in stimulating regional development, mostly due to organizing mass events. This paper is based on the statements of eight experts from different research centres dealing with tourism (mainly sports tourism) accompanied by the authors’ attempt to ‘standardise’ them by referring to the subject literature.

Tatra National Park is the most frequently visited national park in Poland. During the peak season (summer), it attracts both ‘fully aware’ tourists, properly prepared for mountain hiking, and ‘casual’ hikers, motivated mainly by the shallow desire to ‘tick off’ the most popular places in the highest Polish mountains. The article describes the specific character of mountain hikers in Tatra National Park during the summer season, with particular attention paid to the motivations and skills involved in active tourism.

Allotment gardening in Europe, including in Poland, is a century-long tradition that has been cultivated by each new generation. The idea derived from the rapid industrialization of large cities and is currently gaining new meaning. Apart from the economic and recreational roles played by allotment gardens (AGs), emphasis is increasingly being placed on their function as community, social, ecological and even creative and entertainment spaces. AGs constitute an important place for inhabitants of cities to spend their free time. Hence, it has been postulated more and more often that AGs should be preserved as productive and ‘living’ spaces for leisure and social integration. The numerous initiatives of the Polish Allotment Association, whose aim is to protect AGs against liquidation, and to be used for public and non-public purposes, include the Open Social Programme of Allotment Gardens Development. Through prosocial, innovative activity, the programme helps to redefine and change the perception of AGs in Poland as well as contribute to their infrastructural development.

Tatrzański Park Narodowy jest najczęściej odwiedzanym parkiem narodowym w Polsce. W okresie najwyższej frekwencji (okres letni) pojawiają się tu zarówno turyści świadomi i odpowiednio przygotowani do górskiej wędrówki, jak i „przypadkowi”, kierujący się głównie bezrefleksyjną potrzebą „zaliczenia” najbardziej popularnych miejsc w najwyższych górach Polski. Artykuł opisuje specyfikę turystów pieszych górskich w Tatrzańskim Parku Narodowym w sezonie letnim, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem struktury motywacyjnej oraz kwalifikacji w zakresie turystyki aktywnej.

Artykuł jest dyskusją terminologiczną nad zagadnieniem, jakim jest turystyka sportowa. Biorący udział w przeprowadzonym sondażu eksperci podkreślają jej złożony charakter, wielopłaszczyznowość i heterogeniczność. Wyróżniają zarówno bierne, jak i aktywne uczestnictwo w dyscyplinach sportowych. Tym samym podkreślana jest ogromna rola tej formy turystyki w aktywizacji regionów, głównie wynikająca z organizacji masowych imprez sportowych. Materiał opracowano na podstawie uzyskanych w badaniu ośmiu wypowiedzi ekspertów z różnych ośrodków badawczych zajmujących się turystyką (w tym przede wszystkim turystyką sportową). Uzupełnienie stanowi podjęta przez autorkę artykułu próba ujednolicenia zjawiska poprzez odniesienia do literatury przedmiotu.

Artykuł ma na celu charakterystykę aktualnych tendencji w użytkowaniu czterech wybranych ogrodów działkowych w Warszawie: ROD „Pratulińska”, ROD „Obrońców Pokoju”, ROD „Kolejarz” i ROD „Zelmot”. Podstawową metodą badawczą był sondaż ankietowy przeprowadzony wśród działkowiczów (wywiad strukturyzowany, n = 210). Rezultaty analizy pokazują, że są nimi głównie osoby starsze, w tym emeryci, jednakże w ostatnich latach liczba młodszych użytkowników działek stopniowo wzrasta. Większość działkowców mieszka na osiedlach zlokalizowanych w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie ogrodów. Główne motywacje posiadania działki to: wypoczynek, hobby ogrodnicze oraz kontakt z przyrodą. Popularna do niedawna produkcja własnych płodów rolnych nie została wymieniona jako istotna motywacja. Rola, jaką odgrywa użytkowanie działki, koresponduje z motywacjami. Niektórzy działkowicze podkreślają, że oznacza to posiadanie własnego miejsca (rodzaj drugiego domu, schronienia, wytchnienia od miejskiego życia). Większość respondentów pozytywnie ocenia proces otwierania ogrodów działkowych dla społeczności lokalnych, choć niezbyt chętnie uczestniczy w wydarzeniach integracyjnych organizowanych przez Polski Związek Działkowców (PZD) lub inne instytucje. Uzyskane wyniki są zgodne ze światowymi trendami, prezentowanymi w badaniach nad przestrzenią rekreacyjną ogrodów działkowych w Polsce i za granicą.

The study aims to gain an insight into current trends in the use of four selected allotment gardens (rodzinne ogrody działkowe – RODs) in Warsaw (Poland): ROD ‘Pratulińska’, ROD ‘Obrońców Pokoju’, ROD ‘Kolejarz’ and ROD ‘Zelmot’. The main method used in the research was a survey of plot holders (structured interviews, n = 210). The findings suggest that holders are mainly older, retired people, but the number of younger plot holders has been increasing in recent years. Most live on huge estates in close proximity to the allotment gardens. The main motivations for having a plot are relaxation, gardening as a hobby and connection with the natural environment. Food production itself was not mentioned as a prior motivation. The meaning of having a plot corresponds with motivations. Some plot holders emphasize having their own, private place (a kind of second home, refuge, respite from city life). Most of the respondents have positive opinions regarding opening allotment gardens to local communities, although they are not very eager to participate in integrational events and activities organized by the Polish Association of Allotment Gardens (PZD) or others. The findings are in line with global trends presented in research exploring allotment garden recreational space in Poland and abroad.

Qualified tourism, understood as the highest form of tourism, the most perfect kind of conscious tourism, was introduced and popularised in Poland in the 1950s by the PTTK (Polish Tourism and Sightseeing Society). Combined with a knowledge of the so-called tourism culture, pursued with passion and expertise, today it concerns a relatively small, ambitious group of active tourists having very precise interests and seeking the highest form of tourist specialisation. The considerable demands for the participants means that the term “qualified tourism” is increasingly replaced with the term “active tourism” available to a broader section of society. The phenomenon is associated with socio-economic and cultural transformations, including the postmodern commercialisation of leisure time. Forms of outdoor recreation are becoming more and more accessible, while transformations of lifestyle, amount of free time and ways of spending it influence tourists’ preferences and tourist activities. What is also significant is the fashion for active leisure created in recent years by the media. Such a “simplified”, pop-cultural approach to active tourism contributes to reckless and irresponsible behaviours of tourists, as is perfectly illustrated by what happens in the Tatra National Park. Despite the fact that it is a fairly small part for European standards, it is one of the “busiest” in terms of tourist traffic. In its highest season (July and August) its visitors include both conscious tourists appropriately prepared for mountain hiking (including qualified tourists) and “casual” tourists, motivated mainly by their unreflecting need to “do” the most popular sites in Poland’s highest mountains. The authors of the article discuss the specificity of qualified tourism and refer to examples of hikers visiting the Tatra National Park in the highest summer season. They demonstrate the elitist nature of the principles of qualified tourism and thus refer to the practice, i.e. behaviour of tourists. In this they point to the lack of boundaries in the exploration of Poland’s highest mountains as well as their demystification.

This article is an attempt at investigating new meanings and significance of computer-based entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors explore how and to what extent students in Poland have been using electronics for entertainment during the global crisis, what emotions appeared and whether they were able and willing to engage in an auto-reflexive process. The article presents the results of the questionnaire interview designed for the purposes of this particular study. The authors chose to reveal the multi-facetedness of the theme in question, i.e. focus on the possibilities and the future that computer-based etertainment offers, leading to transformations both externally and internally.
