The year 2017 was declared by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. Tourism is seen as a “driver of development and peace, promoting the harmonious co-existence of people from all countries” (Beijing Declaration 2016). A principle of sustainable tourism is to “build sustainable cities and communities”. From this perspective, tourism should support the wellbeing of all actors involved. Wellbeing of hosts, should be achieved when sustainable tourism guidelines are fulfilled. Wellbeing of guests is necessary to make any destination attractive for tourism. The question posed in this paper, however, challenges that view. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of wellbeing in relation to sustainable tourism and to hosting and guest communities. The first section talks about wellbeing conceptual backgrounds including Social Indicators, index of life quality based on values, subjective wellbeing or responsible wellbeing one. The second section focuses on the analysis of wellbeing in sustainable tourism conceptual background, including the differences between the guidelines provided by WTO (2005), and the latest guidelines published by UNWTO ((United Nations World Tourism Organization)) and UNGA in 2015. The third section juxtaposes wellbeing conceptual background with tourism, the most prominent gaps and challenges of wellbeing regarding hosting communities and tourists.
The aim of the study was to evaluate safety and its underlying factors among the inhabitants of Lublin. The findings are based on a questionnaire with 33 detailed questions conducted in May 2012 in all districts of the city. The collected data from the survey and Voivodeship Police Department in Lublin was analysed using ArcGIS and STATISTICA software. The analysis of the crime data shows the existence in the city of a clear zone of increased risk of crime occurrence. The survey showed that, in the last 10 years, approximately 28.1% of the responding inhabitants of Lublin have been victims of a crime in the city. Statistical analysis of the results revealed a statistically significant correlation between people’s evaluations of safety in Lublin districts and their age, gender, income, place of residence, quality of life, and participation in public life.

Więzi człowieka z miejscem kształtowane są przez wiele czynników wewnętrznych, zależnych od samego człowieka i zewnętrznych — zależnych od cech otoczenia. Jednym z nich może być położenie miejsca względem ośrodków rozwoju. W niniejszym opracowaniu analizie poddano wpływ peryferyjności na uczucia i postawy człowieka względem zamieszkiwanego miejsca. Badania przeprowadzono na obszarze Bieszczad, na terenie powiatu leskiego i bieszczadzkiego, wśród młodzieży gimnazjalnej (wiek:15-16 lat). Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że peryferyjność w pewnym stopniu kształtuje więzi człowieka z miejscem. Korelacje na poziomie istotnym statystycznie stwierdzono w przypadku następujących wskaźników więzi: identyfikacja z miejscowością, identyfikacja z regionem, ocena krajobrazu, poczucie dumy z faktu zamieszkiwania w danej miejscowości oraz poczucie tęsknoty za danym miejscem w przypadku jego opuszczania. Zróżnicowanie postaw badanej młodzieży z różnych stref peryferyjności względem środowiska lokalnego daje się zauważyć również w wielu innych sytuacjach. Uczniowie mieszkający w głębi Bieszczad okazują się przychylniej oceniać swoje otoczenie i żywić względem niego cieplejsze uczucia niż ci, którzy mieszkają w strefie najbliższej centrom rozwoju.
