Transformations of Tourist Functions in Urban Areas Territorially Linked with National Parks

摘要

The article analyses and attempts to assess the transformations related to tourist functions in urban municipalities territorially linked with national parks,in the years 2005-2016.The study covered eleven municipalities linked with seven national parks(NP)-Stolowe Mountains NP,Karkonosze NP,Tatra NP,Warta Mouth NP,Wielkopolska NP,Wolin NP,Slowinski NP.Based on the group of diagnostic features,characterizing tourist functions carried out by these cities(e.g.Golebski's index,Baretie and Defert index,Charvat index,accommodation density ratio),taxonomic density measures were constructed,which allow identifying the level of these functions’development.The presented study is important for identifying distances between cities in terms of the selected development aspect in temporal and spatial perspective.The research can turn out useful in the planned city development and management.
