Motives: Rapid urbanization has increased public awareness about logistics support for urban traffic flows. Given this interest, the relevance of this research is beyond any doubt. Aim: The study aims to identify the most cutting-edge approaches for facilitating traffic and tourism flows using various urban transport modes, and to define the opportunities for their application on the domestic market. Results: The results of the conducted analyses suggest that the development of rail transport is the most promising and vital step in improving urban transport and logistics infrastructure, including in the tourism sector. The study established that intelligent transport systems in urban areas, including public transport, logistics flows, tourist flows, parking, and road traffic control, are complex management systems. A critical examination of several cases supported the identification of regularities in factors that affect the dynamics of urban traffic flows. In view of the rapid development of transport and logistics infrastructure around the world, development opportunities in rural areas bordering large cities were identified. The most effective approaches to resolving logistics problems in a period of war were determined.

Motives: Rapid urbanisation and the associated spatial, environmental, and economic changes have shifted the researchers’ attention to modern cities. Urban green spaces are a vital component of sustainable development because they reduce noise, purify air, improve the local climate and rainwater quality, and provide numerous recreational and relaxation opportunities for the residents. The implementation of the green city concept can have a positive impact on both the environment and the quality of life in a city. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse changes in the landscape and surface of urban green spaces, to present the structure of green areas, and to identify change trends in urban green spaces in the Polish city of Toruń and the Slovak city of Košice. The ecological resilience of the studied areas was also examined. Results: The results of the study indicate that the area occupied by urban green spaces (including urban green areas, sport and leisure facilities, and forests) continues to expand in the studied cities. The rate of increase was much higher, but still low, in the Slovak city of Košice. The analysis of change trends revealed that most industrial and commercial areas were developed in urban green spaces. At the same time, new green spaces were created mainly at the expense of semi-natural areas. Both Toruń and Košice are characterised by average landscape stability.

Motives: Unlike nature monitoring, recreational activities in forests are not monitored regularly or over wide areas. Therefore, research studies involving various methodologies are needed to generate valuable data for forest management. Aim: The aim of the present study was to identify different types of forest recreational activities in Wdecki Landscape Park based on data recorded by seven camera traps between 12 December 2019 and 12 December 2020. Results: The collected data revealed that walking, biking, and mushroom picking were the most popular recreational activities. Most activities were undertaken by single visitors or groups of two visitors between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., mostly on weekends and in the autumn.

Motives: Land-use policies are legal instruments that are available to local governments. Modern land-use policies require specialized software and spatial data. A survey was conducted in the cities and towns of two Polish regions, and the results were used to describe the challenges facing local authorities in relation to land-use planning. Aims: The main aim of this study was to verify the use of spatial data formats and specialist software in the decision-making process in Polish cities and towns. The survey revealed differences in spatial data formats used by the analysed cities and towns. The research goal was achieved in the entire study group and in groups of differently sized cities. Results: The challenges and implications for land-use policy and decision-making in cities and towns were discussed. The survey revealed differences in the way specialist software is used in land-use planning in the analysed towns and cities. The use of open-source software was examined, and the study demonstrated that georeferenced spatial data is generally lacking. The present findings can be used by the authorities to improve the process of formulating their land-use policies, and they suggest that municipal employees should regularly participate in training programs.

Motives: In recent years, the popularity of military tourism has increased considerably in Central and Eastern European countries, especially among tourists who have an interest in military history and technology. Due to the general scarcity of methods and studies examining alternative uses of former military bases, including coastal artillery bases, a reliable method for assessing the value of such sites for military tourism should be developed. The study presents the history of the analysed military bases, and it examines the extent to which the existing facilities could be converted into tourist attractions. An innovative method for evaluating the tourism potential of defunct military bases was proposed and verified, and the required changes for improving the accessibility and applicability of military facilities for educational and tourism purposes were described. Two former military sites in Koszalin coastal region were selected for the study. Aim: The main aim of the study was to propose an original method for assessing alternative uses of former coastal military bases, and to evaluate the educational and tourism potential of former military bases on the Koszalin Coast (a subregion of the South Baltic Coast) on the example of two former military facilities: Anti-Aircraft Artillery Division No. 68 in Łeba and Anti-Aircraft Artillery Division No. 66 in Naćmierz. Results: The results of the study indicate that the evaluated military sites have considerable tourism potential, in particular for tourists who have an interest in military history. An analysis of exogenous as well as endogenous (architectural and historical features) factors revealed that both sites could attract tourists, including visitors who are not strictly interested in military facilities. The assessment conducted using the proposed method demonstrated that the Anti-Aircraft Artillery Division No. 68 in Łeba is characterised by high tourist attractiveness, whereas the Anti-Aircraft Artillery Division No. 66 in Naćmierz is characterised by moderate tourist attractiveness.

Motives: The forest fund was established to ensure the financial stability of forest districts whose operations are financed by the State Forests National Forest Holding in Poland. However, the main role of the forest fund is to distribute funds from high-income forest districts to districts reporting a budget deficit. Aim: The purpose of this paper was to analyse and evaluate the model of managing forest fund resources in view of the provisions of the applicable legal regulations. Results: Between 2013 and 2020, the allocation of funds to forest districts reporting losses did not contribute to fair and rational distribution of resources, nor did it eliminate differences in the financial performance of forest districts operating under various environmental and economic conditions and implementing nature promotion and social education activities. The mechanism by which timber sales (operating costs that reduce profit) can be deducted from the forest fund raises serious doubt. Districts that benefit from such write-offs can program the amount of deductions in the forest fund. The above violates the principle of tax equality which states that tax laws should be applied in an identical manner to all taxpayers. A decrease in profits posted by forest districts reduces the central government’s revenues in virtue of the taxes paid by the State Forests.

Motives: This study was undertaken to fill in the gap in theoretical knowledge about the challenges associated with transformations in the modern urban environment, the socio-cultural consequences of external changes in the urban landscape, and growing interest in the urban environment as a unique locus of artistic and creative activity. Aim: The purpose of the study was to analyse modern methods of optimising the urban environment by means of visual art, lighting design, landscape architecture, and small architectural forms. Results: A harmonious urban environment was created in Kharkiv through the introduction of sophisticated design elements, art objects, and urban furniture in the architectural context. These elements were integrated to create distinct and high-quality urban recreation areas. Basic modelling principles for optimising the urban environment can be used to analyse and combine the existing methods, and search for new opportunities to implement creative design solutions.

Motives: In the past twenty years, considerable progress has been made in 3D real estate cadastres and 3D visualisation technologies. These developments require advanced solutions for the visualisation of 3D cadastral objects. Aim: The main aim of this study was to propose an optimal 3D cadastre visualisation strategy that accounts for user needs, the types of visualised data, and visualisation platforms. Results: The optimal 3D cadastre visualisation strategy was determined by performing a SWOT/TOWS analysis. Both internal and external factors that can influence the development of 3D cadastre visualisation policies were considered in the analysis. The results of the study were used to propose an aggressive strategy (based on the identified strengths and opportunities) for the development of 3D cadastre visualisation.

Motives: Regional passenger airports are an important component of a developed transportation system that reflects the broader development of the region and the country. Due to the small number of studies examining air transport at the regional micro-scale, it is important to carry out a diagnostic of this mode of transport to determine the possibility of regional development. The article presents the reasons for the creation, stages of construction and transformation of selected airports of northeastern Poland. Aim: The main aim of the study was to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamics of air transport development in the area of northeastern Poland. The entire air transport system in the region was analyzed with a detailed inventory of the largest airport Olsztyn-Mazury. Results: As a result of the study, data on the number of passengers and directions of travel for the past six years were compared. It was determined that Olsztyn-Mazury Airport has a significant development potential, providing an opportunity to rebuild passenger air traffic in Warmia and Mazury hampered by the effects of the COVID-19 virus pandemic.
