Terytorialne pochodzenie kandydatów na studia z turystyki i rekreacji w Uniwersytecie Pedagogicznym w Krakowie

2010 was the second year of recruitment for Tourism and Recreation studies at the Pedagogical University in Krakow. In 2009 as many as 1022 candidates applied for the full-time first stage studies at this faculty. In 2010 the number decreased by 26% (789 candidates). Despite this decrease the faculty was still one of the most popular at the Pedagogical University, and in the ranking of the number of candidates took the second place. Candidates for Tourism and Recreation faculty in 65% originated from the Malopolskie voivodeship, including 22.3% of candidates from Krakow. As compared to the previous year, the share of candidates from the capital of Malopolskie voivodeship decreased by a few per cent. A significant number of candidates originated from the surrounding voivodeships: the Silesian, Subcarpathian and Świętokrzyskie voivodeships. From amongst other voivodeships a significant number of candidates originated from the Lubelskie voivodeship. In the recruitment so far there were no candidates from Kuyavia and Pomerania voivodeship. Most candidates from the Malopolskie voivodeship came from the nearest - Wielicki and Krakovian - poviats, whereas the fewest from the frontier regions (Nowotarski, Miechowski, Oswiecimski and Chrzanowski poviats). Most candidates were town inhabitants - over 69% of the total candidates. There were as many as 24 towns with 5 candidates and more. The secondary school final examinations [Matura] results were also assessed. The best results were achieved by candidates from Tarnow, Kielce, Olkusz and Zakopane. The poorest results were achieved by candidates from Wieliczka, Busko Zdroj and Jordanow. A two-year cycle of research devoted to the candidates for tourism and recreation faculty reveals a considerable shift in the region-wise distribution of candidates for the faculty, however the period is too short to distinguish clear directions and trends in the shift
