Abstract
Based on the data for the years 1981–2014 from two meteorological stations located in the central and northern part of the Żuławy Alluvial Plain, the climatic conditions for the development of tourism and recreation in this area were analyzed. The factors contributing to this type of activity are the average temperatures in the fall and winter months higher than in central Poland and lower temperatures in the summer months, a relatively small number of hot and very hot days, as well as ice and very ice days. The central part of the analyzed area is characterized by lower precipitation totals, lower relative humidity, lower number of steamy days, lower cloud cover, and a high number of days with less than 50% cloudiness than the northern part, which is favorable to tourism in this area. Due to the small number of days with snowfall and snow cover over 8 cm thick, the possibility of skiing here is limited.
Highlights
The area under study, located in the northern part of Poland, is a vast alluvial plain with a territory of approximately 1,700 km2 (Kondracki, 1988) and clear natural boundaries, which form the west, south, and east edges of the moraine hills of the Kashubian, Starogardzkie, Iławskie and Elbląg Uplands, and from to the north, the dune embankment of the Vistula Spit (Fig. 1)
Nowicka’s (2019) analysis of strategic documents carried out in rural communes of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, which showed that one-third of them have issues related to the development of tourism in their strategic or operational goals
The average annual air temperature at the level of 7.8–8.1°C in the Żuławy Alluvial Plain strongly corresponds to the results obtained by M
Summary
The area under study, located in the northern part of Poland, is a vast alluvial plain with a territory of approximately 1,700 km (Kondracki, 1988) and clear natural boundaries, which form the west, south, and east edges of the moraine hills of the Kashubian, Starogardzkie, Iławskie and Elbląg Uplands, and from to the north, the dune embankment of the Vistula Spit (Fig. 1). This region is not very diversified in terms of hypsometry. The values of cultural and natural heritage may attract visitors
