Brak jest jednak badań łączących te dwa obszary. Podjęte przez autorów badania mają, przynajmniej częściowo, wypełnić tę lukę. Głównym celem pracy było zbadanie zainteresowania studentów polskich uczelni wyższych tematyką filmu oraz turystyki filmowej, a zwłaszcza próba nakreślenia sylwetki polskiego turysty filmowego z pokolenia Z. Zastosowano sondaż diagnostyczny z wykorzystaniem techniki CAWI. W pierwszym ogólnym etapie wzięło udział 746 respondentów (456 studentów UMK w Toruniu i 290 studentów 28 innych uczelni w całej Polsce). Do drugiego etapu zakwalifikowało się jedynie 48 osób, które uczestniczyły w rzeczywistych podróżach filmowych. Uzyskane wyniki pozwoliły na wszechstronną prezentację poglądów badanych na temat turystyki filmowej. Z uwagi na eksploracyjny charakter badania oraz niewielkie rozmiary próby badawczej nie udało się jednak stworzyć pełnego i wiarygodnego profilu młodego turysty filmowego – wskazano jedynie kilka jego najbardziej typowych cech. Najczęściej jest to kobieta, mieszkająca w średnim lub dużym mieście, studiująca nauki humanistyczne lub społeczne. Zasadniczo nie uważa się za turystę filmowego, a kontakt z elementami dziedzictwa filmowego stanowi dodatkową, uzupełniającą atrakcję „zwykłych” podróży. Najpopularniejsze aktywności to udział w festiwalach filmowych i zwiedzanie miejsc związanych z fikcją filmową (set-jetting) oraz gwiazdami kina.; Both student travel and film tourism are considered promising, rapidly growing segments of the tourism market. However, there is a lack of research connecting these two areas. The authors' research aims to, at least partially, fill this gap. The main aim of the study was to examine the interest of Polish university students in film and film tourism, and in particular, to outline the profile of the Polish film tourist from Generation Z. A diagnostic survey using the CAWI technique was used. The first general stage involved 746 respondents (456 students from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń and 290 students from 28 other universities across Poland). Only 48 individuals who had participated in actual film trips qualified for the second stage. The obtained results allowed for a comprehensive presentation of the respondents' views on film tourism. Due to the exploratory nature of the study and the small sample size, it was not possible to create a complete and reliable profile of the young film tourist – only a few of their most typical characteristics were identified. Most often, this person is a woman living in a medium-sized or large city, studying humanities or social sciences. She generally don't consider themselves a film tourist, and exposure to film heritage is an additional, complementary attraction to "ordinary" travel. The most popular activities include attending film festivals and visiting locations associated with fictional films (set-jetting) and film stars.

It develops a framework linkingthe creative industries to the SDGs and applies it to the film sectors of Łód ́z (Poland) andMumbai (India). The analysis shows how film production supports the environmental,social, and economic pillars of sustainability by fostering social inclusion, strengtheningurban economies, and promoting environmental responsibility. The study also highlightsthe sector’s role in advancing green production practices and raising public awarenessof sustainability issues. Overall, the analysis demonstrate that the film industry con-tributes to sustainable urban transformation, illustrating how cities can leverage theircinematic heritage to build cultural resilience, stimulate local development, and enhancesocial well-being.

Poland was one of Europe’s largest and most innovative markets for this type of entertainment. However, two unpredictable events (a fatal fire and the COVID-19 pandemic) resulted in a dramatic decline in the escape room sector. The main aim of this study is to provide an in-depth characteristic of the development of the escape room sector in Poland in 2014–2024, from the creation of the first room through booming popularity to the rapid decline and crisis in recent years. The author used statistical data obtained from the lockme.pl website, an industry report from 2018, their own research, and the available academic and popular science publications. The conducted cause-and-effect analysis allowed for the identification and definition of the main factors that contributed to the escape room sector’s unprecedented development and the factors responsible for its subsequent fall. The obtained results enabled the author to analyse and describe the unique life cycle of the escape room sector in Poland. Furthermore, spatial analysis allowed the author to find certain regularities in the location of this type of attraction, as well as the course of the geographic spread and shrinkage of the analysed phenomenon (in the territory of the country and 10 of its biggest cities). The presented results carry essential theoretical and practical implications. They point, among other things, to the need for the management to take paradoxical, apparently mutually contradictory actions (coopetition) and sometimes measures that might seem completely irrational (planning responses to unlikely threats as part of strategic crisis management).

Changes in the material structures of the settlement network and depopulation concern, in particular, localities whose areas have been divided by the border line and those located in the immediate vicinity (within 5 km). Numerous relics of completely depopulated settlement units identified in this space are objects that stand out in the borderland landscape. Thus, they co-create the contemporary landscape identity. The article presents the results of a historical and geographical analysis, showing the distribution of rural settlement units that were liquidated or abandoned as a result of geopolitical changes related to the end of World War II. Moreover, landscape relics of depopulated localities have been identified using measurement data from airborne laser scanning. The destructed objects identified in the historical settlement are among the components of the material memory of the local landscape. They are evidence of the events and socio-political processes that took place over the last few decades in the lands of former East Prussia incorporated into Poland, in particular during the time associated with the delimitation of the current state border.
