Abstract
This paper seeks to offer a critical discussion of conceptual ideas of sustainability that link transport with borderlands. In recent decades, European border regions have been subject to a steady process of transformation. New sustainable ideas are among the most important paradigms where the future development of borderlands is concerned, with transport considered key. In this paper, the author seeks to demonstrate the way in which sustainability has been characterised by environmental, economic and social aspects that each have their own special relevance to borderland development of transport.

Abstract
The paper presents selected problems of development of tourism within the areas neighbouring upon the Polish eastern border. Currently the boundaries with Belarus, Ukraine and the Kaliningrad district of Russia constitute the outer boundaries of the European Union and the Schengen zone, with strengthened protection and increased difficulty of crossing them. Borders determine the nature of the tourist space and its elements that will develop in frontier regions. First of all the borders constitute spatial barriers for tourism development and movement. On the other hand they often coincide with valuable natural landscapes and a numerous historical and cultural attractions. They possess, therefore, a high tourist potential. In the paper the influence of the most important elements on tourist attractiveness of a border-adjacent area are presented in the case of eastern border area of Poland. Tourism, in the vicinity of eastern boundaries of Poland, is generally characterised by poor tourism-related development and lack of tourist traditions, as well as low degree of recognition as tourist destination. In the transboundary setting, tourism within the eastern borderland is based almost exclusively on the price differentials. These are both trade and transit, as well as short tourist visits.
