  • Development Prospects of Tourist Passenger Shipping in the Polish Part of the Vistula Lagoon
    sustainability Article Development Prospects of Tourist Passenger Shipping in the Polish Part of the Vistula Lagoon Krystian Puzdrakiewicz * and Marcin Połom * Division of Regional Development, Faculty of Oceanography and Geography, University of Gda´nsk, 80-309 Gda´nsk,Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] (K.P.); [email protected] (M.P.) Abstract: The Vistula Lagoon is a cross-border area with high natural values and a developing market of tourist services. Passenger shipping is an important part of local tourism, but ship owners are insufficiently involved in planning processes and their views on creating shipping development are underrepresented. The article aims to compare the vision of the development of passenger shipping in the Polish part of the Vistula Lagoon between local governments creating the spatial policy and ship owners offering transport services. We have made an attempt to verify the development prospects. The collation of these visions was based primarily on the qualitative analysis of the content of planning and strategic documents (desk research method) and a survey conducted among all six ship owners. Thanks to the comparative analysis, it was possible to show similarities and differences and to indicate recommendations. The paper presents review of the available literature on the subject, thanks to which the research area was identified as unique in Europe. On the one hand, it is a valuable natural area, which is an important tourist destination, on the other hand, there are organizational and infrastructural limitations in meeting the needs of tourists. Then, field research was conducted, unpublished materials were collected, and surveys were conducted with the Citation: Puzdrakiewicz, K.; Połom, M.

Report of the Brazilian Institute of Geogrqhy and Statistics ( IBGE ) Items 5 and 9 of the Provisional Agenda Recent Developments on Geoerapbical Names The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, with regard to the 1996 Population and Housing Counts - 1096 Agricultural Census and among many other geographical activities of its responsibility, has updated the toponymic data related to populated places, political, statistical and geographical areas. These data are stored in the Territorial Structures Database, which was built to provide territorial support to the IBGE’s statistical and geographical programs. Since 1991 Demographic Census, the political and administrative division has been expressively changed. In addition to the 54 legal name changes of municipalities and districts, 483 new municipalities were settled in 1993, consequently modifying 496 of the 4,490 existing ones. Considering the district level, almost the same amount of new and modified units has occurred during this period. Furthermore, due to the administrative mobility, the category of populated places (seat of the new municipalities and districts) has been changed, as well as the location of geographical names (features) by administrative division has been updated.

For Jefferson, in almost every country, the primate city, usually a capital city, housed the fi nest wares, the rarest articles, the greatest talents and skilled workers and, more importantly, was the center of its national culture, pride, and infl uence. According to Jefferson’s calculations, the national capitals of many Latin American nations such as Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Cuba, Bolivia, and Chile followed this pattern as did those of many European nations.

Speed and silliness are sure to be in abun- dance as non-motorized racers including a baby buggy, a Mellow Tubmarine and Fremont’s own landmark troll will maneu- ver a steep half-mile downhill course on Fremont Avenue (from 36th to 41st Streets) as they battle to beat the clock. After poring over nearly 300 applica- tions, 46 teams were chosen, along with a wildcard entry picked through online voting, to race their human-powered racing dream machines down the track. How may these gearheads achieve speedway stardom? Judging is based on three criteria: speed, creativity and showmanship. So you can’t just be fast… you have to be fast with flair.

    Iran and the Caucasus 20 (2016) 253-258 Book Reviews Arthur Tsutsiev: Atlas of the Ethno-Political History of the Caucasus, Translated from Russian by Nora Seligman Favorov, New Haven: “Yale University Press”, 2014, xv+221 pp. Scholars interested in the history of the North and South Caucasus can fi- nally utilize an accurate, complete and objective reference guide in the form of a historical atlas, which depicts the political history and the eth- nic diversity of the region from 1722, that is from the fall of the Safavid Dynasty in Iran and Peter the Great’s invasion of the Caspian littoral, to the present. The 57 superb color maps not only indicate political changes, but also demonstrate the notorious ethnic complexity of this mountainous region, which has perhaps more languages, races and cultures than any other re- gion in the world. Realizing the post-Soviet extreme regional nationalism and the “im- agined states and communities”, which now claim that “our group is an- cient, we were always there, our culture is unique and great, therefore we must do whatever it takes to assert ourselves as a sovereign state”, the au- thor has chosen the historic maps of the Ottoman and Iranian empires (1722-1829)[maps 1-6], as well as the official administrative divisions of the region during the Russian Empire [maps 7-21]. Maps 2-3 clearly demonstrate the fact that the South Caucasus from 1722 to 1736 was the battleground between the Ottomans and Iranians. Map 6 depicts the wars between the Ottoman and Russian, and the Ira- nian and Russian armies.
