The aim of this paper is to identify influence of selected factors on the repeat purchase of a package tour based on the responses of the selected customers in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The main factors are divided into three main groups as staff, environment and offer and each of these groups consists of other selected factors. Analyses of frequency responses and frequency distribution of data were used. Statistical hypotheses were formed, reflecting the relationship between the difference in responses from the customers’ and selected quality factors, that may affect the repeated purchase of the package tour. Most customers of repeat purchase of the package tour are affected by professional behaviour, sufficient space, cleanliness, tidiness of company premises and corresponding ratio of price / quality. This study is important not only for the marketers’ but also for all employees in services. Knowledge of the consumer buying behaviour leads to huge long term benefits to the businesses in various regions not only in Europe.

Topographic databases and general geographic maps are essential components of geographic information systems and the primary and rich spatial information source at general scales. The article presents qualitative and quantitative analyses based on the content of general geographic maps and topographic databases carried out on the example of products of selected national mapping agencies (NMAs). This research aims to verify whether the data contained in the analyzed databases and the information presented on general maps constitute the rich source of geographical and spatial information, as well as to examine how the analyzed General Geographic Objects Database (BDOO) developed in Poland differs from the selected databases of similar level of details. The results of qualitative and quantitative analyses are presented in comprehensive charts and tables, which show the obtained results in a synthetic and complex manner.

Indicators are the most commonly essential measurement tool of choice for many sustainability projects worldwide. They can be used to assess the progress toward sustainable development and understand the interlinkages within each component and between components of sustainability. The selection of indicators to measure sustainable development is an extremely complex and difficult task. Through an overall assessment and pointing out the limitations of existing sets of indicators for measuring sustainable development in Vietnam, this paper focuses on the way to create indicators that can be used to measure Vietnam’s sustainable development at both the national and subnational (provincial) level. Firstly, a framework of elements for economic, social, and environmental component was established and a list of indicators of 12 national and international agencies in the world was compiled. Then the research applied SMART criteria (SMART is an acronym of Specific, Measurable, Available, Relevant, Time-related) to select a set of relevant core indicators for Vietnam. Finally, 24 indicators which fully satisfy the SMART criteria were constructed with 8 indicators for each component. This indicator system can be applied to measure sustainable development at both national and provincial level of Vietnam.

Tourist promotion in the activities of Local Action Groups in Poland The presence of the so-called „Lokalne Grupy Działania” (Local Action Groups, LAGs) has been clearly recognizable in the Polish rural and small-town landscapes for at least a dozen years. By under taking activities on various grounds they obviously support local development, being – at the same time – a source and an effect of local entrepreneurship. According to the principle ”think globally, act locally”, LAGs realize tasks in the field of local tourism development, in terms of tourism facilities, formation of human capital, and tourism promotion. The latter is the goal of the research in this paper. The research resulted in a determination of the broad range of promotional activities and tools used by LAGs. Simultaneously, their effectiveness and the range of influence were evaluated and common good practices in the field of tourism promotion were described. Apart from the generally positive evaluation of tourism promotion provided by LAGs and based on their knowledge on the local tourism potential, specific conditions negatively affecting the durability of results and the period of influence of the promotional message were indicated.
波兰地方行动小组活动中的旅游推广所谓的“Lokalne Grupy Działania”(地方行动小组，lag)的存在已经在波兰农村和小城镇景观中清晰可见至少十几年了。它们以各种理由开展活动，显然支持地方发展，同时也是地方企业家精神的来源和影响。根据“全球思维，本地行动”的原则，lag在旅游设施，人力资本形成和旅游促进方面实现当地旅游发展领域的任务。后者是本文研究的目标。研究结果确定了lag使用的广泛推广活动和工具。同时，对其有效性和影响范围进行了评价，并介绍了旅游促进领域的常见良好做法。除了根据他们对当地旅游潜力的了解，对旅游推广工作作出普遍积极的评价外，还指出了对结果的持久性和促销信息的影响期产生负面影响的具体条件。

Catholic contemplative monasteries and the consecrated life in Poland in the context of tourism Visiting monasteries and staying there have become an attractive tourist experience shared by numerous tourists and perceived by them as truly “touching and authentic”. Not only is a monastery in itself a subject of tourists’ interest with all of its physical attributes, but also the idea and the specific way of life behind it. In the paper, a special attention was paid to the participation of Polish contemplative monasteries in the so-called “monastic tourism”, in order to establish to what extent this phenomenon is close to religious tourism as well as to different forms of cultural tourism meant in the broad sense. Answers to these questions should lie in the results of a survey conducted among the Polish contemplative monasteries preceded by an analysis of motivations and conditions transforming ‘a monastery’ into a tourist destination (external individual attributes such as history and architecture were rejected).

Problems of city definition and urban population in the People’s Republic of China Present urbanization processes are characterized by unusual spontaneity, reflected in numerous problems in defining urban population and determining real city boundaries. Of particular interest, from a scientific point of view, is the case of China, where a considerable dynamics of socio-economic transformations, as ell as political and administrative issues are reflected in a complex urban structure. Serious complications in determining the real Chinese urban population number, or determining real city boundaries are the complicated administrative division, manifested by an unnatural size of the cities, and the inclusion of rural population under their urban jurisdiction. In addition, the question of social duality between the countryside and the city,caused by the Hukou register system, seriously hampers estimations of a city resident number. Mass migration from the countryside to cities, in most cases without updating the Hukou system, resulted in a lack of complete and accepted statistics concerning the population of Chinese cities. It is also worth mentioning, that rural migrants in urban areas are often a secondary category of citizens facing socio-economic discrimination, leading to a visible and tangible polarization among Chinese urban residents.

Influx of population to the Frederician colonies in central Poland and its subsequent transformations The author made an attempt to present the demographic aspects of the Frederician colonization in central Poland within the present Łódź Voivodeship. In the first section of the paper, analyses in the field of historical geography dealt with the formation of colonies at the turn of the 18/19th century. Based on archival sources, the dynamics, number and origin of incoming population were shown. The second section of the paper contains an analysis of the demographic development of Frederician settlements till their end in 1945. The research included e. g. comparisons of the lists of German settlers drawn up for selected time periods.

Biometeorological conditions of Kłodzko and their influence on climatotherapy and tourism The region of Kłodzko belongs to the most important tourist areas in the Lower Silesia. It is also a very important region in the context of health resorts. Because of significant impact of weather conditions on both tourism and health issues, a crucial aspect is to evaluate the influence of weather on human organism and various forms of climatotherapy, tourism and recreation. The goal of the paper was to evaluate the biometeorological conditions of Kłodzko, considering its bio-thermal conditions as well as the usefulness of weather for climatotherapy, tourism and recreation. The basis for the analysis was meteorological data for 1971–2015 from the IMGW-PIB station in Kłodzko. The evaluation of biometeorological conditions included the bio-thermal index of UTCI and the weather suitability index for tourism and recreation (WSI). The WSI is calculated on the basis of the MENEX model which enables an assessment of the human heat balance. The climate tourism information scheme (CTIS) was also considered. It enables an evaluation of recreational potential with a consideration of bio-thermal conditions and the impact of particular meteorological variables. Based on the mentioned methods, a structure of heat stress categories and the annual course of usefulness of weather for climatotherapy, tourism and recreation were presented. The results of the research showed that weather conditions related to no thermal stress prevail on an annual scale. As for the context of the impact of weather on tourism issues, the best conditions are observed in the warm season, especially in the spring and autumn period. The results of the study can be a source of information for tourists and bathers visiting the region. They can also be a basis for increasing the knowledge on biometeorological conditions of the Sudetes.

Investments in human capital within the cohesion policy and their impact on regional development The aim of this paper is to systematize the existing literature on the effects of cohesion policy and specifically on the effectiveness of public investments in human capital through typology of research. The conclusions are used to give recommendations both for the academic as well as the public sector. There is a need for long-term statistical and macroeconomic analyses as well as in-depth qualitative research on the quality of interventions and differences between different types of investments. While there is a lot of potential in human capital investments to stimulate regional development, they are not a sole key to success and should rather be considered as part of a horizontal and complex development strategy.

The article deals with the issues of motives and the assessment of the balance of benefits and losses of a break in formal education in the form of a “gap year”, based on the experience of Polish students. The study was conducted in the form of a questionnaire interview with 15 respondents. There were identified four groups of motives for undertaking a gap year: social, psychological, educational and economic. Moreover, based on the premises underlying decisions to take a break, five categories of gappers were distinguished: “travelers”, “dropouts”, “gappers who repeat a year at university or retake the final high school exam”, “workers”, and “undecided”. Gap year is taken by young Polish people in specific life situations, usually when they: drop out of university, try to improve the results of the final high school exams, or want to have more time to plan their further education. Gap year is a time when tourist activity is often undertaken. The respondents claimed that the break in formal education had brought them more benefits than losses.
