Opis:: Coastal storms as extreme hydrometeorological events have severe impacts on the coasts and consequently affect the coastal communities, attracting considerable research interest nowadays. Attempting to understand the risk of these extreme events, a coastal storm analysis is accomplished by studying the parameters which define a coastal storm and their properties, such as the wave height, the wave period, the duration, the calm period, and the storm energy. The frequency of occurrence of coastal storms, the thresholds of storm parameters and the way they are interrelating with each other draw a rough outline of wave climate during coastal storm events for a specific location. This information is valuable afterwards for the design of coastal structures and the coastal zone management. In this work, buoy datasets from 30 locations in the Mediterranean Sea are analysed for describing coastal storm activity. A sample of 4008 coastal storms is identified. Each location faces around 10—14 coastal storms per year, with most of them to occur in winter months and their characteristics to be sitedependent. Their average duration is lower than 30 hours, and 25% of them are consecutive events which hit the same location in less than a day. Furthermore, the wave period and the main direction present no remarkable fluctuations during a coastal storm. With this analysis, a deeper understanding of coastal storm severity is pursued, gaining knowledge about their past activity, in order to be prepared in the future and to protect the coastal areas.

Opis:: Waves are the key phenomenon directly influencing coastal morphodynamics. Facing insufficient observations, wind wave climate of the west coast of Spitsbergen can be characterized on the basis of the modelled data. Here we have used the results of spectral wave models: Wave Watch III (WW3) hindcast and WAM in ERA-interim (ERAi) reanalysis. We have observed the presence of seasonal cycle with difference of up to 1 m between significant wave heights in summer and winter. In wave-direction analysis we have noticed the southwestern swell component of remarkably narrow width, thus we expect unidirectional swell impact on the coastline. Extreme events analysis revealed that storms occur mainly in winter, but the most energetic ones (significant wave height of up to 9.5 m) occur in spring and autumn. We have identified positive trends in storms’ frequency (2 storms per decade) and storms’ total duration (4 days per decade) on the south of the study area. More storms can result in the increase of erosion rate on the south-western coasts of Spitsbergen, but this change may be highly dependent on the sea ice characteristics. Wave heights of wind sea and swell are correlated with the relevant atmospheric circulation indices, especially the North Atlantic Oscillation. In the recent decade, the correlation is stronger with WW3 than with ERAi data, at some locations explaining over 50% (over 30%) of the total variance of wind sea (swell) wave heights. In ERAi data, the relationship with circulation indices seems sensitive to the length of the analysis period.

Opis:: The contents of geography textbooks and school atlases have become the basis to elaborate on preparations of our society for contact with natural hazards. Leaving aside the causes of more frequent inflow of information about natural disasters, the question comes up on the effectiveness of education in view of raising education level intended in the reform of education system of 1999. This research was conducted in post middle schools in Warsaw in 2006/07. The debate on the need for broad geography education about natural hazards in the schooling period was started. It was pointed out that it is necessary to develop the ability to understand and recognize the hazard and the attitude which allows to take responsible decisions prior to, in the face of and following an extreme natural event.

Podjęcie wspomnianego tematu uzmysłowiło mi ogrom pracy i wysiłku, jakie muszą włożyć organizatorzy imprezy. Celem pracy jest analiza środowiska młodzieży pod kątem wiedzy na temat sportów ekstremalnych, wpływu sportu na ich życie, a także poziomu uczestnictwa w imprezach sportowych. Przedmiot pracy stanowi analiza organizacji imprezy sportowej, środowiska młodzieży interesującej się sportami ekstremalnymi, a w szczególności CFCF. Do zbadania środowiska wykorzystano metodę ankietową. Dzięki tej metodzie badawczej pokazano zainteresowanie się młodzieży sportami ekstremalnymi oraz Cieszyńskim Festiwalem Freestylowym. Wykazano, iż poziom aktywności młodzieży zamieszkującej Śląsk Cieszyński jest na wysokim poziome, a CFCF cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem. W pierwszym rozdziale omówiono etapy powstania imprezy masowej. Drugi rozdział dotyczy subkultur młodzieżowych i subkultury freestyle, a także dyscyplin sportowych wchodzących w skład sportów ekstremalnych. Trzeci rozdział został poświęcony historii i infrastrukturze sportowej Cieszyna, a także festiwalowi Cieszyn Freestyle City FestiwalW pracy została wykorzystana literatura związana z zarządzaniem, marketingiem pedagogiką, a także z sportami ekstremalnymi.
The core subject of my work is the organisation of a sport event presented on the example of the Cieszyn Freestyle City Festival (CFCF). The organisation of a sport event is really thought provoking subject, which indicates what vast amount of work and effort are required from the arrangers to bring such event to life. The main aim of this work is to analyse the milieu of the youth in terms of knowledge about extreme sports, it’s influence on their lives and the level of their participation in sport events. The subject of my work was the analysis of the organisation of a sport event, the analysis of the milieu of the youths showing interest for extreme sports, especially researched were those participating the CFCF. A survey as research method was chosen. Thanks this exact method it was able to prove the interest of youth for extreme sport arts and for CFCF in particular. It was also proven that the level of activity of the youth living in the Śląsk Cieszyński area is high and CFCF gathers a lot of attention. In the first chapter the stages of creating a sport event were discussed. Second chapter refers to subcultures among teens, freestyle subcultures and also about sport disciplines included to the extreme sports category. The third chapter is dedicated to history and sport infrastructure of Cieszyn and Cieszyn Freestyle City Festival.In this publication literature associated with managing, teaching and extreme sports was used.

Tytuł:: The impact of sports tourism on the development of the tourism industry on the example of the organization of diving events
Wpływ turystyki sportowej na rozwój branży turystycznej na przykładzie organizacji eventów nurkowych
Autorzy:: Rogalska, Karolina
Opis:: The aim of the work is to discuss organizational issues in the context of diving events, technical matters related to the organization of these events, to explain the concept of sports tourism and to show the impact of participation in diving events on the development of the tourism industry. The hypotheses put forward at work focus mainly on the participants of these events. It is important to demonstrate whether, due to their participation, these people would return to the place and whether the organization of such events supports local tourism.Using in-depth interviews, which are a tool of the qualitative method, and coding similar content in the responses of five respondents, it was investigated that the impact of participation in diving events on the development of the tourism industry exists. This is evidenced by the responses of interlocutors who participated in such events. Each of the five people asked would recommend a given place to their friends and would also take part in the expedition for the second time.The sources used mainly related to the subject of diving history, organization of events, varieties of this sport, diving destinations, as well as: issues in the fields of methodology and the concepts of tourism and qualified tourism. Sources distinguishing extreme tourism from extreme sport and those showing diving as a sport were also useful.
Celem tej pracy jest omówienie kwestii organizacyjnych związanych z eventami nurkowymi, jak i spraw technicznych związanych z organizacją tych wydarzeń, wyjaśnienie pojęcia turystyki sportowej oraz ukazanie wpływu uczestnictwa w eventach nurkowych na rozwój branży turystycznej. Postawione w pracy hipotezy skupiają się głównie wokół uczestników tych eventów. Istotną kwestią jest wykazanie, czy ze względu na swe uczestnictwo osoby te, powróciłyby ponownie w dane miejsce oraz czy organizacja tego typu wydarzeń wspiera lokalną turystykę.Za pomocą wywiadów pogłębionych, będących narzędziem metody jakościowej, oraz kodowaniu treści podobnych w odpowiedziach pięciu respondentów zbadano, że wpływ uczestnictwa w eventach nurkowych na rozwój branży turystycznej - istnieje. Świadczą o tym odpowiedzi rozmówców, którzy uczestniczyli w tego typu wydarzeniach. Każda z pięciu pytanych osób poleciłaby dane miejsce znajomym, jak i sama wzięła udział w wyprawie po raz drugi. Wykorzystane źródła dotyczyły głównie tematyki historii nurkowania, organizacji eventów, odmian tego sportu, destynacji nurkowych, jak i: zagadnień z dziedzin metodologii oraz pojęć: turystyka i turystyka kwalifikowana. Przydatne były również źródła rozróżniające turystykę ekstremalną od sportu ekstremalnego oraz te, ukazujące nurkowanie, jako sport.

Tytuł:: Changes in the surface ozone after the windstorm in 2004, in the High Tatras

Opis:: Extreme wind event in November 2004 caused spacious destruction of slope forests in the Tatra National Park, Slovakia. Relevant changes of land cover motivated researchers to investigate damaged forest ecosystem and its response to different environmental conditions. Surface ozone (O3) is a minor but not negligible compound of the ambient air. Control strategies for the reduction of O3 precursor emissions have been applied in Europe during the last two decades. In spite of these reductions, air quality indices for O3 suggest that highland sites are more vulnerable to health and environmental risk than lowlands where mostly emissions from road transport and industry are produced. Both anthropogenic sources and biogenic precursors (BVOC) from forest vegetation play a relevant role in the tropospheric photochemistry, especially at mountainous and rural locations. The parameters of air quality are measured at background station Stará Lesná in the High Tatras region since 1992 in frame of an European project EMEP. Long-term data series (1992–2013) of O3 concentrations obtained for site Stará Lesná provide specific opportunity to investigate the response of BVOC reduction on O3 variability after windstorm 2004. Evaluation of these data indicates moderate increase of annual, monthly and hourly O3 means for the period from 2005 to 2013 in comparison with the previous period 1992–2004. Temporal interpolation shows evident changes of O3 concentrations, especially ~30% increase for night hours in spring season and on the contrary ~15% decrease for daylight afternoon hours in summer season. Statistically significant changes were identified for spring months (April and May, 0–6 hours) and summer months (July, 12–20 hours). Increasing O3 values in the night may be associated with the absence of BVOC for ozonolysis reaction that is one of the mechanism for O3 depletion. On the other hand, the decline of daylight O3 values in summer suggests lower O3 production via photochemical mechanism.

Opis:: Science-based knowledge about climate-related hazards is an inevitable part of the knowledge basis needed for many stakeholders’ decision-making. Despite continuous advances in climate science, much of this knowledge is perceived to be hardly accessible, understandable, or relevant to stakeholders. One relatively new field where these aspects may become evident is extreme weather event attribution. It has received much attention in science in recent years, but its potential usefulness to stakeholders has rarely been addressed in the literature so far. This study has therefore developed criteria for evaluating potential climate services from a stakeholder perspective, using the example of findings from extreme event attribution. This is illustrated in an empirical mixed-method study about decision-makers dealing with storm surge risks at the German Baltic Sea Coast and (re)insurance sector representatives. The study builds on interviews and workshops with potential users of extreme event attribution. It reveals that there are three main groups of criteria which matter most to the stakeholders in question: 1) trustworthiness, 2) context-sensitivity and decision-relevance, 3) clarity and comprehensibility. Having appropriate evaluation categories, as well as processes to identify stakeholder-specific criteria, will facilitate the inclusion of values, knowledge contexts, and interests. Many stakeholders emphasized that they need a trustworthy knowledge broker who provides decision-oriented information which is intuitively accessible, understandable, and in their mother tongue. Being independent, scientifically competent, and in a continuous dialogue with both scientists and stakeholders, established regional and sector-specific climate services can facilitate the fulfilment of these requirements. A stakeholder-oriented evaluation will thereby help to make climate services more useful to potential user groups – even if a product is not in use yet, as is the case for extreme event attribution products.
