dc.abstract.enThe purpose of this paper was to present the results of research on the willingness of visitors to Wielkopolska National Park (WNP) to pay fees for using its resources and to assess their attitudes towards hypothetical restrictions on access to the park. The analysis was based on survey data from 2012 and 2025, obtained using the following techniques: Paper and Pencil Interviewing (PAPI) and online surveys based on the Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI) technique, administered via Internet platforms. A total of 860 valid questionnaires were examined, and a logit model and correspondence analysis were used for the investigation. The findings suggest that the propensity to pay fees is mostly contingent upon the extent of awareness of natural values, the inclination to engage in park maintenance, perspectives on environmental financing mechanisms, and affiliation with environmental organisations. In turn, demographic factors proved to be insignificant. The analysis of the expected compensation for access restrictions demonstrated the influence of age, gender, environmental views, and distance from the WNP. The research findings corroborate that respondents’ attitudes towards environmental financing are predominantly influenced by their environmental awareness and beliefs.
dc.abstract.plCelem artykułu było przedstawienie wyników badań dotyczących skłonności odwiedzających Wielkopolski Park Narodowy do ponoszenia opłat za korzystanie z jego zasobów oraz oceny postaw wobec hipotetycznego ograniczenia dostępu do parku. Analiza oparta została na danych ankietowych z lat 2012 i 2025, pozyskanych przy użyciu technik: Paper and Pencil Interviewing (PAPI)) oraz ankiety online (przy użyciu techniki Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI) za pośrednic-twem platform internetowych. Zbadano 860 poprawnie wypełnionych kwestionariuszy, a do analizy wykorzystano model logi-towy oraz analizę korespondencji. Wyniki wskazują, że skłonność do ponoszenia opłat zależy głównie od poziomu wiedzy o walorach przyrodniczych, gotowości do pracy na rzecz parku, poglądów dotyczących finansowania ochrony środowiska oraz przynależności do organizacji ekologicznych. Cechy demograficzne okazały się nieistotne. W analizie oczekiwanej rekompen-saty za ograniczenie dostępu wykazano wpływ wieku, płci, poglądów ekologicznych i odległości od WPN. Badania potwierdzają, że postawy wobec finansowania ochrony środowiska kształtowane są przede wszystkim przez świadomość ekologiczną i prze-konania respondentów.
