标题:Technical and Organizational Assumptions of Applying UCCs to Optimize Freight Deliveries in the Seaside Tourist Resorts of West Pomeranian Region of Poland
摘要:AbstractThe West Pomeranian Province is located at the Baltic Sea coast in the west-north of Poland. This region combines the commercial role with the tourist and spa functions. Several tourist attractions of the West Pomeranian Province like clean rivers and lakes (6% of the area), forests (mainly pine forests occupying 34.5% of the area) as well as the northern border which is the Baltic Sea coastline (184.9km) have contributed to the development of the health resorts (Świnoujście, Kołobrzeg, Połczyn Zdrój), as well as recreational tourism (the seaside and lake resorts). The counties (poviats) located on the coast generate almost 65% of the entire tourist traffic in the region. Effective organization of freight deliveries in the areas of seaside tourist resorts is of particular importance for the efficient functioning of the entire region. This paper focuses on the assumptions for implementing a delivery system based on using two UCCs to serve their linked resorts. The authors have applied the standardized interview method for the analysis of the tourist traffic impact on delivery volumes in the selected area, and the centre-of-gravity method for locating the UCCs.
