The aim of this article was to present a particular role of natural environment in the development of tourism in Kashubian Lake District. In the research process there have been shown natural conditions of one of the most touristically attractive region of Polish lake districts, i.e. The Kashubian Lake District on the example of Kartuzy county. The natural resources mentioned in the study were analysed with the help of spot bonitation, thanks to which there were appointed main areas of touristic attractiveness. A supplement of the conducted research was a survey carried out among tourists spending holiday on the presented area, examining to what extent natural ressources determine the concentration of touristic traffic. Keywords: Kashubia, Kartuzy country, touristic natual attractiveness, touristic traffic Introduction Natural environment sets the possibilities of developing space and influences the level and living conditions. -
About the Burial-Free Kurgans Once Again
Sprawozdania Archeologiczne, 2017, 69, s. 421-431 SPRAWOZDANIA ARCHEOLOGICZNE 69, 2017 PL ISSN 0081-3834 DOI: 10.23858/SA69.2017.018 D I S C U S S I O N S A N D P O L E M I C S Radosław Janiak* ABOUT THE BURIAL-FREE KURGANS ONCE AGAIN ABSTRACT Janiak R. 2017. About the burial-free kurgans once again. Sprawozdania Archeologiczne 69, 421-431. One of the features of the burial mound necropolises of Pomeranian culture in the Kashubian Lake District is the presence, beside the mounds, of burial-free constructions. Their form resembles burial mounds or kurgans and their function can often raise questions. This may sometimes result from the fact that such structures are formed in distinct clusters in the cemeteries. At the current stage of research, it can be hypothesized that they represent an integral part of the necropolis. Key words: burial mounds, Kashubian Lake District, Pomeranian culture, Early Iron Age. Received: 02.02.2017; Revised: 19.03.2017; Accepted: 25.05.2017 The following text is a response to the comments by Rzepecki (2016) with regards to the selected issues included in my book titled “Burial mounds of the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age”, Łódź 2014. The discussed monograph presents the results of research on the place and role of the mound in the burial rites of societies of Lusatian culture, the Wielka Wies group, and the Pomeranian culture in the Kashubian Lake District. These societies placed the remains of their dead in mounds of stone, stone and earth, and in a few cases also just earth. -

He survived the Nazi occupation of Budapest and left communist Hungary in 1947 for England, where he graduated from the London School of Economics. While a student at LSE, he became familiar with the work of the philosopher Karl Popper, who had a profound influence on his thinking and later on his professional and philanthropic activities. In 1956, George Soros moved to the United States, where he began to accumulate a large fortune through an international investment fund he founded and managed. Today he is Chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC. George Soros has been active as a philanthropist since 1979, when he began providing funds to help black students attend Capetown University in apartheid South Africa. Today he is Chairman of the Open Society Institute and the founder of a network of philanthropic organizations active in more than 50 countries in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the United States. -
Present and Future Spatial Accessibility of the Polish Sea Ports Dostępność Przestrzenna Polskich Portów Morskich
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Bulletin of the Maritime Institute in Gdańsk Present and Future Spatial Accessibility of the Polish Sea Ports Dostępność przestrzenna polskich portów morskich Tomasz Komornicki Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization Polish Academy of Sciences Article history: Received: 10.08.2015 Accepted: 07.09.2015 Published: 30.10.2015 Abstract: Spatial accessibility is an increasingly popular indicator of assessing the level of development of transport infrastructure, and its impact on the development of particular territorial units. Among the most often used indexes of accessibility that can be applied to analyses prepared for the purposes of sea ports and coastal areas, are the following: ♦ time accessibility (presenting in a cartographic review how much time it takes to get to particular points), and accumulated accessibility; ♦ potential accessibility (presenting units positions on the background of general transportation network of a given mode). The aim of this study was to assess the potential road accessibility in the years 2015 and 2030, as well as the changes resulting from the investments planned for this period of time. In the study of accessibility to the network of the existing sea ports, there were taken into account: Elbląg, Gdańsk, Gdynia, Ustka, Darłowo, Kołobrzeg, Świnoujście, Police and Szczecin. Analyses of these ports’ time accessibility have been also performed. It has been established that none of the Polish ports can boast of sufficient road connections with important national centres, which are their vital economic hinterland. The situation in Tricity (Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia) is most favourable, and its further improvement depends on completion of the S5 and S7 express roads, and on the implementation of investments within the agglomeration. -

Abstract The aim of the study is to analyse the educational offer of Pomeranian voivodeship agritourism farms which joined the National Network of Educational Farms. The analysis covers the years 2011–2020. The survey involved 25 licensed entities (100%). Their wide offers include educational programmes aiming to teach about farmer’s life and work, the process of food production and acquisition, and the cultural heritage of the Polish rural areas and to promote the right attitudes towards nature and landscape protection. Educational activities are usually organised in the form of one-day group and workshop activities addressed to school children and adolescents. Thanks to that, the school education process is more varied and enriched with school cur- ricula directed at hands-on activities, workshops in different school subjects, alternative venues of education and knowledge about rural culture. Farmers usually play the role of guides or sometimes they hire teachers to do the job. More and more often, people with disabilities and students of Third Age Universities use their services. -

It is an attempt to identify the con- ditions for the development of holiday settlements, using the example of the gmina of Stężyca situated in the centre of the Kashubian Lake District. The authors indicate the conditions related to the location of holiday plots, as well as the motivations and expectations of their owners. As a result of the study, it was concluded that natural and landscape assets, as well as temporal and spatial accessibility determined the development of the holiday settlement in the gmina of Stężyca. Equally significant factors are family ties and sentiment towards their place of birth. Keywords: holiday settlement, holiday plots, gmina of Stężyca, Kashubian Lake District. 1.
