Sandra Żukowska serves as an Assistant at the Department of Regional Development within the Institute of Socio-Economic Geography and Spatial Management, Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Gdańsk. Holding a Master of Arts degree, she actively contributes to academic research while fulfilling institutional responsibilities in regional planning and spatial analysis.
Her research concentrates on urban geography and regional development with specialized expertise in transport planning, sustainable mobility systems, and smart city applications. Utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a core methodology, she conducts extensive case studies focused on Poland's Tricity region (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot), particularly examining Gdynia's urban dynamics. Key research themes include depopulation impacts on housing demand, suburbanization effects on shrinking cities, maritime port sustainability (especially green port concepts), and transportation challenges in both urban and rural contexts including the Vistula Lagoon region.
Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent methodological approaches combining spatial analysis with policy evaluation, predominantly using Polish case studies to address European urban challenges. Her work demonstrates strong alignment with EU urban policy frameworks while addressing region-specific implementation barriers in the Polish context, with particular emphasis on transport accessibility, seasonal urban dynamics in coastal areas, and smart village applications for rural communities.
