Summary/Abstract: Motives: Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are perceived differently by local residents and tourists.Therefore, an understanding of spatial patterns in CES is important for urban planning.Aim: To determine whether residents and tourists differ in their perceptions of CES groups in Lublin,and whether these perceptions are influenced by gender, age, occupation, and frequency of visits.Results: The relative value of CES groups was ranked in the following descending order of importance:physical, social, cultural, inspirational, and spiritual activities by local residents (n = 138), andinspirational, cultural, spiritual, physical, and social activities by tourists (n = 134). The Wilcoxontest showed that the total and average number of the identified locations was higher among residentsthan tourists. The chi-square test revealed a difference between the CES categories identified by thelocal residents (x2 = 265.602, df = 5, p < 0.01) and tourists (x2 = 25.660, df = 5, p < 0.01).
