Assessment of bioclimatic conditions in cities for tourism and recreational purposes (a Warsaw case study)

Abstract: The assessment of biometeorological conditions for tourism and recreational purposes is usually based around fundamental meteorological data, climate-tourism indices or biometeorological indices. Specific methods for investigating the sensible climate in the context of urban tourism had not been devised hitherto, but the present paper offers results of an assessment of the bioclimate of the Polish capital city, Warsaw, from the point of view of tourism and recreation, using the UTCI and PET indices.

“…The thermal stress on the basis of UTCI values in relation to various pollutant concentrations (Nidzgorska-Lencewicz and Mąkosza 2013; Nidzgorska-Lencewicz 2015) and mortality (Błażejczyk et al 2013a;Idzikowska 2011) in selected agglomerations was also considered. The index has been applied in certain studies concerning the best conditions for tourism and recreation (Lindner-Cendrowska 2013;Rutty and Scott 2014;Świątek 2014;Kažys and Malūnavičiūtė 2015;Ge et al 2016). Given that up till now, not many studies have been devoted to various thermal stress occurrences in relation to atmospheric circulation factors, Nowosad et al (2013) have tried to determine the correlation between UTCI and daily zonal and meridional circulation indices.…”

“…443-454 2016). The genesis, evolution and dynamics of tourist destinations depend on a number of factors, not least transport infrastructure (Bieger & Wittmer 2006;Ilieş & Grama 2010;Więckowski et al 2014;Matoga & Pawłowska 2018;Rosik et al 2018), tourist infrastructure (Khadaroo & Seetanah 2008;Kapera 2018), the weather (Martin 2005;Lindner-Cendrowska 2013), the perceptions of tourists (Beerli & Martıín 2004;Cracolici & Nijkamp 2009;Ilies et al 2017;Toral et al 2018;Wendt et al 2019), and competition between destinations (Fyall et al 2012;Ilies et al 2012;Dwyer et al 2014;Mendola & Volo 2017;Sainaghi et al 2017;Gómez-Vega & Picazo-Tadeo 2019). All these defining factors -and the mutations to which they are subject -lead to evolutionary transformations of tourist destinations (Saarinen 2001(Saarinen , 2004Mariani 2014).…”

“…Among them, we mention: the organizations for the management of the touris destination (OMD), The Ministry of Tourism (or similar structures), The Romanian Government through special institutions, the tourism agecies, the tourist service providers (accommodation, public food service, entertainment, recreation, treatment etc), public authorities (local, regional, national) and the local population. From the above mentioned reasons, it is clear that the action of creation of a tourist destination image is of large-scale due to the human factor involved and above all, because of the benefits it can create for the local community and for the global one indirectly (Li et al, 2017;Fyall et al, 2012;Mendola & Volo, 2017;Sainaghi et al, 2017;Dwyer et al, 2014;Gómez-Vega & Picazo-Tadeo, 2019;Mariani, 2014;Saarinen, 2001Saarinen, , 2004Dela & Aria, 2016;Więckowski et al, 2014;Lindner-Cendrowska, 2013;Toral et al, 2018). These are translated at local level by: the creation of a positive image for the tourist destination; the increase of the duration of the tourist stay; the development of new tourist planning sites; the rise of the social level; the development of local economy; the sustainable, responsible development of the territory; the preservation and protection of the environment etc.…”
