Abstract The paper presents investigations of the relationships between biotic resources and available tourism offers associated with these assets. In this context, the need for creation of an area product in Roztocze has been highlighted. The goals were achieved using the stocktaking and query methods. The study results indicate that the biotic assets are not fully represented in the most frequently promoted products, i.e. trails, objects, and events. The distribution of unexploited biotic assets and the diagnosis of the required levels and features of an area product imply that such a product in the Roztocze region should be established based on the resources of the Roztoczański National Park, landscape parks, and the existing brand Roztocze – witalność z natury.

Abstrakt Zaprezentowano wyniki badań nad zależnością między zasobami przyrody ożywionej a ist- niejącymi ofertami turystycznymi z nimi związanymi. W tym kontekście wskazano na potrzebę kreowania na Roztoczu produktu obszarowego. Założone cele zrealizowano, stosując metody in- wentaryzacji i kwerendy. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że walory przyrody ożywionej nie są jeszcze w pełni uwzględnio- ne w najczęściej promowanych produktach – szlakach, obiektach i wydarzeniach. Rozmieszczenie niewykorzystanych walorów przyrody ożywionej oraz diagnoza w zakresie wymaganych pozio- mów i cech produktu obszarowego wskazują, że produkt taki na Roztoczu powinien być budowa- ny w nawiązaniu do zasobów Roztoczańskiego Parku Narodowego, parków krajobrazowych oraz istniejącej marki Roztocze – witalność z natury. Introduction A tourism area product should be formed of different individual mate- rial (object) and non-material (service) products as well as complex organ- isationally and spatially integrated products (object, festivity, event, and trail) created by various entities functioning in a touristic area (ROCH- mińska and stasiak 2004). All these products should match the accepted idea and philosophy of the entire area and complement and enrich each other (stasiak 2005). Resources of the natural environment are important in this respect. In many regions, tourism based on such assets contributes to economic growth and induces positive changes in social awareness on a regional scale (e.g. BERRY and Ladkin 1997, BuckLey et al. 2008, MOL- Lard and VoLLet 2015). The need to develop an integrated tourist product based on natural resources has been highlighted by e.g. dowLing (1993), Bostedt and mattsson (1995), niezgoda (2000), skowronek et al. (2015), and Pana- Use of Biotic Resources of Roztocze in Tourism Offers in The Context... 457 siuk (2015). Such assets facilitate creation of an attractive product offer- ing recreation with varied degrees of specialisation (e.g. godfrey 1998, fredman et al. 2012). However, a majority of entities operating in a par- ticular area are often engaged in individual tourism activities (niezgoda 2000), which results in availability of similar offers, i.e. most frequently – trails. Therefore, some questions arise: to what extent are the biotic assets of Roztocze used in the product offer – following the definition proposed by dowLing (1993), middLeton (1996) or kaczmarek et al. (2010) and what should be done to exploit them fully? Furthermore, can the diversified biotic resources and long-lasting tourists’ interest in Roztocze (Świeca et al. 2015) be the basis for complementation of the concept of the tourism area offer (Brzezińska-wójcik 2017), which will relieve the tourist traffic and disperse tourists to areas that have been poorly visited so far? The aim of this study is: 1) to present the degree of the exploitation of biotic assets of the Polish part of the Roztocze region in the current tour- ism offer, 2) to assess how offers related to biotic assets meet the principles of the theoretical concept of an integrated nature tourism product in this region. Material and Method Biotic resources The study was carried out using indirect and direct sources of data. The first stage consisted in collection, classification, and analysis of biotic assets of Roztocze in functional terms. Secondary resource materials (relevant literature; publication Tourism offers – Lublin Region 2016/17 compiled by the Lublin Regional Tourist Organization (LRTO) for pro- motion of tourist products available in the Province during tourism fairs; a list of products submitted to a competition for the Best Tourism Product of Lublin Province organised annually by LRTO; websites of Local Tourist Organizations – LTO Roztocze (representing communes: Tomaszów Lubel- ski, Bełżec, Jarczów, Krynice, Lubycza Królewska, Susiec, Tarnawatka, Narol in Roztocze, and Cieszanów, Tyszowce – outside Roztocze) and LTO Zamość i Roztocze (communes: Frampol, Janów Lubelski, Sułów, Szcze- brzeszyn, Józefów, Krasnobród, Zwierzyniec, Zamość in Roztocze, and Nie- lisz and Obsza – outside Roztocze), Local Action Groups – LAG Leśny Krąg (communes: Batorz, Chrzanów, Dzwola, Godziszów, Janów Lubelski, Modliborzyce), LAG Nasze Roztocze (communes: Adamów, Józefów, Kra- snobród, Zamość, Zwierzyniec), LAG Roztocze Tomaszowskie (communes: 458 Teresa Brzezińska-Wójcik Bełżec, Krynice, Lubycza Królewska, Susiec, Tarnawatka, Tomaszów Lubelski), Rybacka (Fishing) LAG Roztocze (communes: Adamów, Bełżec, Krasnobród, Tomaszów Lubelski, Lubycza Królewska, Narol), local gover- nment institutions, and individual entities; issued promotional materials; strategic documents) were used in the query method. The results of field stocktaking (raw data) carried out in 2015–2017 were included in the rese- arch procedure. Next, the method of description combined with other methods (including screening, historical analysis, and analysis of develop- ment opportunities, cartography) was employed to explore the ways of inc- lusion of the biotic assets in the currently available tourism products, and the need for creation of the regional tourism product based on hitherto unexploited resources was highlighted. The natural Roztocze region extends from Kraśnik to Lviv. Its total length is approximately 180 km (110 km in Poland) and its width ranges from several to over twenty kilometres. Given its varied natural traits, the region has been divided into four subregions (Buraczyński 1995): Rozto- cze Gorajskie, Roztocze Szczebrzeszyńskie, Roztocze Tomaszowskie, and Roztocze Rawskie. Assessment of the natural resources of Roztocze in the context of deve- lopment of various forms of tourism was presented by Brzezińska-wójcik (2012), Brzezińska-wójcik and Świeca (2014), and Świeca et al. (2015). The tourism offer based on various tourism assets was discussed by Brze- zińska-wójcik et al. (2017), and analysis of abiotic resources in the cur- rent tourism offer in functional terms within the concept of an area pro- duct was provided in a study conducted by Brzezińska-wójcik (2017). Yet, there is no synthetic study of the range and use of biotic assets in the available tourism offer in functional terms that would complement the concept of the area product. According to the classification of natural assets in functional terms proposed by Lijewski et al. (2002), the Polish part of Roztocze has a relatively large number of sightseeing, leisure, and specialist assets. They are related to the phytosphere (species composition of plant commu- nities with their availability and suitability for recreation), zoosphere (animal world with birds in particular), and hydrosphere (fish). Sightseeing assets of biotic resources Besides plant communities, the major natural sightseeing assets include monuments of nature, nature reserves, ecological areas, and pecu- liarities of avifauna. Use of Biotic Resources of Roztocze in Tourism Offers in The Context... 459 Small-leaved lindens are the most common natural monuments (Tables 1–2) in Roztocze: there are 190 of these trees in Roztocze Tomaszowskie (e.g. in the former manor park in Bełżec, Kosobudy, Majdan Nepryski, Tarnawatka, and Adamów), 40 in Roztocze Rawskie (in Narol- Wieś), 39 in Roztocze Gorajskie (in Turobin, Radecznica, Batorz, and Wólka Batorska), and 12 in Roztocze Szczebrzeszyńskie (in Szczebrzeszyn).

  • Role of Cartographic Products in the Promotion of Tourism Based on the Example of Roztocze
    BAROMETR REGIONALNY TOM 13 NR 1 Role of Cartographic Products in the Promotion of Tourism Based on the Example of Roztocze Krzysztof Kałamucki, Andrzej Czerny Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland Abstract The technologies of development, issuing, and visualisation of maps have changed over recent years. New forms of presentation have developed. Making maps available on mobile devices considerably increases their range of users. This can be used in a broadly defined scheme of promotion. This is determined in part by the practical function of maps, the mass and common character of their use, visualisation of maps on various information carriers, as well as the multimedial and interactive character of mod- ern electronic maps. The objective of the article is to evidence the usefulness of modern cartographic products for the promotion of tourism. The issue will be presented based on the changing functions of modern maps, and based on the example of Roztocze. Maps evoke tourists’ interest in a tourist region. They show its special values and attractions, effectively encourage visits and exploration of the region, and create its positive image. The effect of maps on their recipients is strong due to the presentation of promotional content with the application of modern forms of cartographic communication. Owing to varied cartographic products, Roztocze is promoted both in the virtual (internet) and actual space (on information boards in the field). Abundantly issued tourist maps are available throughout the country, and complement the means of promotion of tourism in the region. Keywords: tourist map, functions of maps, large format maps, promotion of tourism, tourist region Introduction Maps constitute a universal means of transmitting information, and particularly information with spatial character .

  • Relationship Between the Geotourism Potential and Function in the Polish Part of the Roztocze Transboundary Biosphere Reserve
    geosciences Article Relationship between the Geotourism Potential and Function in the Polish Part of the Roztocze Transboundary Biosphere Reserve Teresa Brzezi ´nska-Wójcik Faculty of Earth Sciences and Spatial Management, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Al. Kra´snicka,2d, 20-031 Lublin, Poland; [email protected] Abstract: The Polish part of the Roztocze Transboundary Biosphere Reserve area is characterized by diversified geotourism resources with relatively high value. However, their potential seems not to be fully used in the current product offer. The aim of the study was therefore to assess the spatial variability of the geotourism potential and function and to determine their interrelations in view of further development of geotourism in the Roztocze TBR and the perspective of creation of the “Kamienny Las na Roztoczu” geopark. The study was carried out with the use of the taxonomic method of multidimensional comparative analysis consisting of calculation and analysis of general, total, and partial indices of the geotourism potential and function in 22 communes. The results showed the highest total indicator of geotourism potential in two communes, i.e., Józefów and Krasnobród, and the highest value of the total geotourism function index in Krasnobród. The results of the analysis of the relationships between the geotourism potential and function indicate that the geotourism resources and products are fully used in terms of the development of the function only in Krasnobród commune. In turn, the value of the total geotourism function index in the Zwierzyniec commune exceeds the geotourism potential indicator, which implies that this area is overloaded by tourist movement. The total indicators of geotourism potential in the other Citation: Brzezi´nska-Wójcik,T.

  • Polish-Ukrainian Borderland Cultural Heritage Bridges—Lesson Drawn from Forced Population Relocation
    sustainability Article Polish-Ukrainian Borderland Cultural Heritage Bridges—Lesson Drawn from Forced Population Relocation Bohdan Cherkes ,Józef Hernik , Karol Król * and Magdalena Wilkosz-Mamcarczyk Department of Land Management and Landscape Architecture, University of Agriculture in Kraków, Balicka 253c, 30-198 Kraków, Poland; [email protected] (B.C.); [email protected] (J.H.); [email protected] (M.W.-M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Due to the turbulent history, unstable political situation, and the diverse ethnic composition of the population, there are numerous and varied cultural heritage objects in the Polish-Ukrainian borderland area, which has also developed characteristic landscape forms. The aim of the paper is to identify the elements of Polish cultural heritage that have remained in the collective memory of inhabitants of the Ukrainian side of the Polish-Ukrainian borderland 75 years after the forced relocation. The questionnaire survey was carried out in 2019 in selected cities of Eastern Galicia, namely, Zhovkva, Mostyska, Horodok, and Rava-Ruska. The study demonstrated that even 75 years after the forced relocation, Polish cultural heritage is still alive and has an effect on the development of the border towns and cities of Eastern Galicia. It is the elements of non-material culture, including the gastronomic culture of relocated nations, that have been preserved the best in the collective memory of borderland inhabitants. The Ukrainian population also demonstrated a good knowledge of Polish traditions and Catholic feasts as well as folk songs and Christmas carols. These are “cultural heritage bridges” that may serve as both a forum for mutual understanding and a platform for a Citation: Cherkes, B.; Hernik, J.; dialogue and cooperation.

The high level of biodiversity is one of the most attractive features of nature of Roztocze region. Ukrainian part covers only 1/3 of the total area of Roztocze, but still is characterized by high variability of habitats and biodiversity. On the Ukrainian Roztocze there are found 1,344 plant species, 146 plant communities (identified with the Braun-Blanquet method), including 23 protected habitats belonging to the Natura 2000 network. The great variety of Roztocze is caused by the interaction of natural factors, primarily climate and soils, but also anthropogenic influence. All of these factors operate simultaeously enabling the creation of unique vegetation of Roztocze. INTRODUCTION High level of biological diversity is one of the most attractive features of the nature of Roztocze region. Ukrainian part of this region represents only 1/3 of the area of the whole Roztocze but is still characterised by large variability of habitats and biodiversity. This is the result of the geographical situation of Roztocze through which pass rivers originating in neighbouring regions of Polesia and western Podolia. There are ecologically valuable wetlands which shape the hydrological conditions of the region.

  • Sacred Objects As Cultural Assets of the Roztocze National Park and Its Buffer Zone
    BAROMETR REGIONALNY TOM 12 NR 4 Sacred Objects as Cultural Assets of the Roztocze National Park and Its Buffer Zone Paweł Pytka Maria Curie Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland Abstract Cultural landscape is an important element in determining the attractiveness of a given tourist area. Its specific elements are places of worship. Integrated into a unique natural landscape they can become a kind of gem, and their many values can be a significant stimulant to tourism. This article presents the religious buildings and objects located within the Roztocze National Park and its buffer zone: churches, various types of shrines, roadside crosses and statues and cemeteries. These places, besides performing their sacral function, are important for local communities: they are places of meetings, exchanges of views and solving problems. What is also important is the cultural aspect of these sites, together with their historical value. These various qualities of sacred objects can generate an increase in tourism throughout the entire region. Keywords: sacred object, religion, culture, tourism Introduction Sacred objects occupy a special position in the cultural landscape of Poland. They have been in- tegrated in various forms in the scenery of cities, towns, and villages for ages, while performing the role of places of worship. Roztocze is geographical region located in the south-eastern part of Lubelskie Voivodship. It is a unique location for cultural reasons, because this area is at the crossroads of Eastern and Western European cultures. Thanks to that, the region is full of vari- ous sacred objects. They remind us of the coexistence of the Christian religion of the Greek and Latin rites, as well as of Judaism.
