Exploring the foundations of tourism geography
This article explores the theoretical foundations of tourism geography, focusing on the dialectic between flat ontology and John Searle's vertical ontology. Drawing from contemporary debates in the field, it examines the philosophical underpinnings of tourism geography and their implications for understanding the social and spatial dynamics of tourism. The concept of flat ontology, rooted in posthuman approach, posits an egalitarian view of the w…
The ontological and epistemological foundations of tourism geography
The article addresses a noteworthy gap in the consideration of philosophical dimensions within the methodological discourse of geography. Specifically, the domain of tourism geography, as a “young” sub-discipline, requires a more profound analysis of its subject matter, particularly the empirical field. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to explore ontological and epistemic questions concerning the nature ofthe empirical field i…
Social constructionism as a tool to maintain an advantage in tourism research
Social constructionism is commonly understood as one of qualitative approaches in the social sciences. It takes the ontological viewpoint that the meaning of the social world cannot be discovered, but is rather constructed by humans along with their histories, societies, ideas and languages. Historically, social constructionism is anchored in Kuhn's idea of the paradigm, but its foundations can be traced back to Kant's philosophy of knowledge and…
The origins of academic work on tourism
The purpose of this article is to fill in the gap in knowledge about early academic work on tourism which had developed first of all in Europe. The author has tried to achieve this aim by conducting a retrospective analysis of chronological and institutional-methodological aspects of the evolution of tourism studies. As a result, he has distinguished two aspects (each divided into two): 1) chronological: a period of precursors and a formal academ…
Geneza refleksji naukowej nad turystyką
Celem artykułu jest uzupełnienie luki poznawczej w zakresie początków refleksji naukowej nad turystyką, widzianej przede wszystkim z perspektywy kontynentalnej Europy. Starano się to osiągnąć poprzez retrospektywną analizę rozwoju studiów nad turystyką w ujęciu chronologicznym oraz instytucjonalno-metodologicznym. Dzięki temu możliwe było wyróżnienie specyficznych okresów i podejść metodologicznych, na które złożyły się: 1) w układzie czasowym – …
Tourism - From Empirical Research Towards Practical Application
Tourism is that area of activity of contemporary man that touches on various fields of human interest. Representatives of numerous academic disciplines find it intriguing for its exceptionally interdisciplinary character. Conditions for and consequences of the development of tourism are investigated, among others, by economists, geographers, sociologists, experts in culture, anthropologists, management and social policy specialists and even by re…
Tourism as a discipline in light of the non-classical sociology of science
Embedding the issue of the recognition of tourism by the academia in the context of the scientific identity of the researchers of tourism can bring valuable insights into the debate. Moreover, such an approach is aligned with the main assumptions of social constructionism and the non-classical sociology of science (knowledge) stemming from the paradigm theory of science formulated by Kuhn. These concepts served as the foundations for the present …
Turystyka sportowa – byt rzeczywisty czy wirtualny
Tourism is an interdisciplinary scientific journal. It is one of the few publications in Poland intended for researchers representing a variety of disciplines and dealing with tourism issues, first of all for geographers, economists, sociologists and representatives of social sciences
Morska przestrzeń turystyczna
Celem artykułu jest charakterystyka i wyjaśnienie procesów zmian zachodzących w obrębie akwenów morskich (wraz z bezpośrednio przylegającymi do nich strefami wybrzeży) jako obszarów spełniających kryteria współczesnej przestrzeni turystycznej. Przedstawiono ewolucję przestrzeni morskiej w kierunku wykształcenia się morskiej przestrzeni turystycznej, wyróżniono i scharakteryzowano typy morskiej przestrzeni turystycznej (w skali globalnej) ze wzglę…
Maritime tourism space
The aim of this article is to provide a description of the processes which take place within offshore and coastal areas treated as contemporary tourism space. The article presents the evolution of maritime space towards the formation of maritime tourism space. It also offers a classification of maritime tourism space types according to types of sailing tourism (investigated on a global scale). The analysis has covered the main geographical-struct…
Turystyka jako dyscyplina nauki (artykuł dyskusyjny)
W artykule podjęto dyskusję nad głównymi dylematami metodologicznymi związanymi z turystyką jako przedmiotem badań naukowych. W jego pierwszej części wskazano na turystykę będącą przedmiotem zainteresowania różnych dyscyplin nauki. W drugiej podjęto krytyczną dyskusję na temat podejścia wielodyscyplinarnego i interdyscyplinarnego w badaniach nad turystyką. Trzecią część stanowi analiza stanowisk metodologicznych dotyczących możliwości autonomizac…
Tourism - an academic discipline (discursive article)
The article discusses the main methodological dilemmas connected with tourism as a field of academic research. The first part presents tourism as an area of interest in various academic disciplines. The second is a critical discussion on multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of tourism. The third features an analysis of the methodological standpoints concerning possibilities for the autonomy of tourism as an academic dis…
Turystyka jako czynnik rozwoju w świetle wybranych teorii rozwoju regionalnego
Artykuł dotyczy teoretycznych podstaw wpływu turystyki na rozwój regionalny i lokalny. Przedstawiono w nim możliwości adaptacji dorobku wybranych teorii rozwoju regionalnego na potrzeby badania wpływu turystyki na rozwój regionów. Analizie poddano cztery koncepcje obejmujące: 1) grupę teorii rozwoju endogennego, 2) grupę teorii rozwoju sieciowego, 3) grupę teorii bazy ekonomicznej, 4) grupę teorii polaryzacyjnych. Wykorzystując dorobek wymieniony…
Tourism as a development factor in the light of regional development theories
The article concerns theoretical positions on the influence of tourism on regional and local development. The adaptation possibilities of chosen regional development theories for the research needs of the tourism influence on regional development are presented. Four groups were analysed: 1) endogenous development theories 2) network development theories 3) economic base theories 4) polarisation theories. Using works based on these there has been …
