“…Uncontrolled, supra-regional economic development carried out without local spatial development and nature protection plans is a threat to sustainability. Above all, these processes decrease biodiversity, lead to changes in groundwater levels and the quality of surface water, terrain, and microclimate, contribute to soil erosion, and pose a threat to human health [25][26][27][28][29].…”

Recreational and leisure areas play a special role. These areas mitigate or eliminate the disadvantages of living in large cities, enhance the quality of life in small towns, and support sustainability. The aim of this study was to analyze the share of recreational and leisure areas in Polish counties in 2022. In Poland, recreational and leisure areas constitute a separate land-use category in cadastral registers. Annual cadastral data from the Land and Building Register at county level (in tabular form) were the main source of data for the study. The analysis revealed that the share of recreational and leisure areas was higher in counties situated in western and south-western Poland, as well as in cities. The spatially varied influence of socioeconomic factors on the share of recreational and leisure areas in Polish counties in 2002 was determined with the use of the local Moran’s I statistic and geographically weighted regression (GWR). The study confirmed that population density was significantly related to the share of recreational and leisure areas in Polish counties. The impact of the remaining socioeconomic factors associated with spatial and economic development varied across regions. The study also revealed that, in addition to the current socioeconomic determinants, the share of recreational and leisure areas in Polish counties was also influenced by historical factors and the counties’ development since their establishment.
