Demographic and Social Determinants of Safety of Local Communities in Warmia and Masuria

Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 22

Abstract

The picturesque landscape and tourist assets make Warmia and Masuria one of the most attractive regions in Poland. The area is commonly referred to as the “green lungs of Poland” and the “land of a thousand lakes”. Nonetheless, Warmia and Masuria rank among the poorest regions of Poland. The unemployment rate is the highest in Poland. Transport infrastructure (road and rail) is poorly developed. The tourism-oriented profile contributes to poor development of industry and commerce. Social and demographic problems to a considerable extent impact and determine the level of security of local communities. As demonstrated by research, safety and unemployment link with other social pathologies.<br/><br/>
