i gospodarczym wysp Wolin i Uznam. Punktem wyjścia jest krótka analiza położenia
geograficznego i dostępności obszaru. W dalszej kolejności dokonano przeglądu najważniejszych
wydarzeń historycznych, by ostatecznie skupić się na współczesnych podstawach
egzystencji obszaru, to jest gospodarce morskiej, turystyce i handlu. Szczególny

functioning of the islands of Wolin and Usedom. The author begins with a brief analysis
of the geographical location and accessibility of the area. Subsequently, the author
presents an overview of the most important historical facts and finally focuses on the
fundamentals of contemporary existence of the islands ‒ maritime economy, tourism and
trade. An important issue also are transport and logistics, both in the local and international
scale. Particular emphasis in the article is placed on the barriers and forms of
cross-border cooperation of local governments of the two islands, in the framework of
the Euroregion „Pomerania” and the limitations and opportunities influenced by the
border location of the islands. Finally, the author comes to conclusion, that despite of
many difficulties, the past experience of a neighborhood cooperation between Usedom
and Wolin, allows optimistic predictions of the future development of the area, which is
in the interest of both, Poland and German
Coastal protection of the isle of usedom — conceptional design of an offshore breakwater system at the streckelsberg, Baltic Sea
No full textAbstractThe Isle of Usedom is located in the South of the Baltic Sea on the border between Poland and Germany. The Streckelsberg is midway along the coastline of the island. The cliff coast area is extremely exposed to waves.Coastal protection works have been carried out here for the last 100 years, starting in 1895 with the construction of a revetment. All efforts could not solve the erosion problems in the long-term. Therefore, it was decided to install a new system of coastal protection measures in 1994. The conceptional design includes a system of three offshore breakwaters in combination with a beach nourishment system. To minimize downdrift erosion a groyne scheme will be additionally installed.The aim of the offshore breakwaters is to reduce the wave energy transformed into the sheltered area and to consequently reduce the longshore sediment transport. It is expected to support the natural development of a salient which will form the main part of the complete coastal protection system

No full textPurpose – Target of this study is to develop a social media framework, the essential “ingredient” for a social media concept for the destination Usedom. The following question is in the centre of this investigations attention: How to create awareness and dialogue by using Social Media for the destination Usedom taking into account the new Usedom Welcome Visitor Centre that will be open 2011? Methodology/approach – Mainly, an observational approach as research method is used to answer the research question, collecting empirical data not by questioning respondents, but by observing different forms of activity. Writing about social media, to use the Internet for observational research is natural and can be further enhanced due to the accessibility and retrieval of information and cross-validation of the information available from several sources. Findings – Social media marketing eliminates the middlemen and provides destinations with the unique opportunity to have a direct relationship with their customers. In today’s knowledge-society where people want to engage – want to be active – want to create content on their own people talk: online and offline - positive or negative – with or without the destination NOT participating is NO option. In case of the isle of Usedom, the Social media concept should be of listening and outreach character. As a holistic marketing approach where “everything matters” is needed for destinations, online and offline activities need each other. In addition to social media marketing even search engine optimisation, ad words and target mails are important tools for a successful online strategy. Research limitations/implications – Most important is the time limitation. The validity period is limited. A Social Media framework of today is not the social media framework of the future. Social media is changing rapidly. New channels appear - others disappear. Moreover, another limitation is the subjectivity: the author of this study observes the Internet in accordance to the research question and allocates a sample pursuant to her knowledge and experience. Practical implications – Aside from the destinations’ website being adapted by social media elements, Facebook serves as ideal tool to nurture relationships between the customer and the destination by being creative, honest and assessing competitors as partners. As one of the easiest and most versatile social networks for professionals today, Facebook is a profile and presence aggregator, channelling all online activity through one main hub and combining almost every online social tool that can be used. Originality/value – Targeting the destination Usedom, but also being applicable for other German tourist destinations, this study provides both: a theoretical and with ideas filled framework to create awareness and dialogue by using social media as complement to traditional marketing activities. Being the first investigation that has been done for the destination Usedom in the field of social media, this study aims to inspire other tourist destinations as well as students to learn about social media and to further investigate in this field.
Dziennikarstwo transgraniczne na przykładzie powiatu świnoujskiego
No full textArtykuł jest pierwszą próbą przeglądu publikacji o typowo transgranicznym charakterze wśród świnoujskich mediów lokalnych, a mianowicie tekstów publikowanych przez portal internetowy Balticportal.pl, w kwartalniku „Świnoujście. Bezpłatnej Gazecie Turystycznej” oraz w kolumnie „Insel Usedom/Wyspa Uznam”, przygotowywanej przez polskich dziennikarzy dla niemieckiego dziennika regionalnego „Ostsee-Zeitung”. Dla analizowanych mediów głównym celem jest podejmowanie tematyki polsko-niemieckiego pogranicza, szczególnie w jej sublokalnym wymiarze (wyspa Uznam). W artykule postawiono tezę, iż dziennikarstwo transgraniczne jest szczególnym typem twórczej pracy lokalnych dziennikarzy, którzy – przez opisywanie pozytywnych przykładów polsko-niemieckiej współpracy – „przekraczają granice” oraz „spinają” podzielony Uznam.Cross-borderland journalism on the example of Świnoujście district The article is the first attempt at reviewing typically cross-borderland publications which appear in the local media of Świnoujście: the text published on the web portal Balticportal.pl, in the quarterly „Świnoujście. Bezpłatna Gazeta Turystyczna”, and in the section „Insel Usedom/Wyspa Uznam” which is written by Polish journalists for the German regional daily „Ostsee-Zeitung”. The main objective of the media under discussion is to present topics related to the Polish-German borderland, particularly the sub-local (the island of Uznam) part. The author postulates a thesis that cross-borderland journalism is a peculiar type of creative work of local journalists who, by presenting positive examples of Polish-German cooperation, ‘cross the borders’ and ‘unite’ the split Uznam Island
