“…There is no doubt that administrative units located within the boundaries of national parks attract tourists, both in Poland and abroad. This is confirmed in the literature concerning factors that determine tourists' choices of holiday destinations [4][5][6][7][8][9] and research on tourism potential and attractiveness [2,[5][6][7].…”

The main objective of the paper was to show the diversification of Polish municipalities that have national parks within their boundaries in terms of implementing sustainable tourism priorities. The study focused on ecological and environmental aspects, primarily related to the shaping and maintenance of green areas, as well as waste and wastewater management. The assessment was based on statistical data taken from the Local Data Bank for the years 2012–2018. The authors determined their own set of indicators, describing green areas management, the environmental risk associated with waste and wastewater generation, and the reshaping of the forest and agricultural landscape. The obtained results were compared with the spatial diversification of the surveyed administrative units in terms of tourist attractiveness carried out by us in 2018. The study made it possible to indicate, among others, municipalities that are prime tourist destinations and have highly developed tourist facilities, but do not keep up with sustainable tourism activities. There are also units that carry out activities in the field of forest and agricultural land protection, invest in public green areas, properly manage sewage and wastewater, and, at the same time, are not attractive for tourists.

“…The sensitivity analysis is not only performed for PROMETHEE II but for the other MCDM that take part in the comparison, these being SAW, WPM and TOPSIS. Sensitivity analyses of different MCDM models have also been implemented in different domains [45,46,65,66]. As a result, such an analysis has been performed for PROMETHEE II [50], TOPSIS [65,66], SAW [66][67][68], and WPM [30].…”

The quality of content and the attractiveness of an environmental website can create an environmentally friendly attitude before one visits a secured area. However, a website should be evaluated to ensure that its goal is met. For this reason, the websites of environmental content have been evaluated using a combination of AHP and PROMETHEE II. More specifically, the websites of environmental content that have been selected to be evaluated are the websites of the national parks of Italy. The main contribution of the particular paper is on comparing PROMETHEE II with three other common MCDM models (SAW, WPM, TOPSIS) and performing a sensitivity analysis to make the comparison more thorough. As a result, the conclusions drawn by this experiment involve the appropriateness of PROMETHEE II for the ranking of environmental websites as well as the robustness of the different MCDM models. The experiment revealed that the PROMETHEE II model was found to be very effective in ranking environmental websites and is the most robust model compared to the other ones. Furthermore, the evaluation of the websites of national parks in Italy revealed that the electronic presence of national parks is at an early stage.

“…This phenomenon is also confirmed by the presented results of the study (Figure 6). Podawca and Pawłat-Zawrzykraj [106] also point to various levels of the tourist attractiveness of communes in national parks and present many cases of areas that do not make an effective use of their tourist potential.…”

National Parks—Areas of Economic Development or Stagnation? Evidence from Poland

An increasingly popular approach to protected areas as places that should combine natural and socioeconomic goals, poses questions regarding the effects of achieving such goals, particularly in the context of generating local economic benefits. Therefore, the objectives of this study are as follows: (1) determining the level and diversity of the socioeconomic development of communes with national parks as compared with neighboring communes that are not protected because of national parks (treating them as a point of reference for comparisons), and (2) presenting the level of tourism development in communes with national parks as compared with neighboring areas and other components of socioeconomic development. The achievement of the research objectives is based on the use of 28 indicators which, following the standardization process, allow for constructing a synthetic index (Composite Development Index-CDI) that shows development disparities in the two analyzed groups of communes. The results indicate that communes with national parks are characterized by a slightly higher level of general development as compared with other communes and a considerably higher level of tourism development. However, it should be noted that the adopted indicators differ considerably in both groups of communes.
