Krajobraz wiejski i turystyka. Poszukiwanie równowagi pomiędzy widzeniem i wizerunkiem wsi
PublicationNajważniejszym składnikiem marki wsi jest krajobraz. Wizerunek wsi kreowany w turystyce i dostępny widok różnią się jednak coraz bardziej: przekaz reklamowy identyfikuje wieś z przyrodą oraz ciszą i spokojem; wieś realna stanowi, najczęściej dysharmonijną, mozaikę wiejsko-miejskiego zagospodarowania. Konfrontacja dostarczonego przez turystykę komunikatu z oglądanym krajobrazem podważa wiarygodność marki wsi, co stanowi zagrożenie...

The (over)touristification of European historic cities: a relation between urban heritage and short-term rental market demand
PublicationIn this chapter, I wish to highlight the critical relationship between heritage management issues and building environment transformation. I argue that such a relationship is directly expressed through the tourism phenomenon, and it should be measured through the economic dimension of the short-term rental market, which introduces this rule of thumb: if there is a lack of demand, the brand of the city is weak; if there is too much...
