Reflections on the name of the town within whose administrative borders the spa area is located

Summary/Abstract: The conducted research concerns certain specific places on the map of Poland, which, due to their specific differences, are distinguished by a special legal regime. The presented article concerns the towns within which the area of the health resort is located. The aim of the study is to describe and analyze issues related to the name of the spa. Due to the fact that the very concept of a health resort is defined in various ways, various terms were quoted to explain this term, derived from colloquial and legal language. Subsequently, the legislator’s assumption was characterized, according to which the word „bath” can be added to the name of the town within the administrative borders of which the health resort area is located, if the basis for spa treatment are healing waters, or the word „hot springs” or „thermal spas” if thermal waters are the basis of spa treatment. The adopted solution indicates certain systemic differences in terms of the possibility of using and changing the name of a spa town. The procedure and procedure for determining and changing the name of a commune or town were presented. In addition, problems related to the legal protection of the spa name were raised, but also certain privileges associated with the name in question related to territorial marketing in the spa were indicated. The conclusions indicated possible directions of changes in the context of the name of the spa town.
