Territorial self-governments as structures operating on a regional and local basis are the main source for financing cultural expenditures in Poland. A total of around 70% of all cultural heritage expenses came from commune, county (powiat) and voivodship budgets. Consequently, a research question was asked whether and to what extent the financing of culture from the budgets of territorial self-governments is spatially diverse. The main purpose of this study is to determine the regional differentiation of spending on culture and cultural heritage from local government budgets. An attempt was also made to indicate the reasons for these differences. For statistical analyses the data of the Local Data Bank of the Statistics Poland (Główny Urząd Statystyczny) were used. Regional differentiation was demonstrated regarding the share of culture in the expenditure from local government budgets. The spatial distribution of the phenomenon is the result of the interaction of three factors: the level of socio-economic development, cultural potential, and cultural policy of the voivodship self-governments.

The Difference

The development of regions within one country is an uneven process. States seek to reduce internal inequalities between particular regions through the implementation of appropriate economic policies, as is the case of Poland. The aim of the study is to evaluate the level of socio-economic development of regions in Poland (voivodships) in the years 2013– 2019. For this purpose, a taxonomic analysis based on Hellwig’s development measure was conducted and the Euclidean distance was applied to assess the difference between the obtained pattern and particular voivodships. On the basis of data provided by the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland and through linear ordering, two rankings of voivodships were created: one reflecting their socio-economic development excluding environmental protection aspects and the other focusing solely on the issue of environmental protection. Low values of the coefficient of variation relating to a part of the analysed variables indicated that the development level of voivodships in the analysed period is in many respects very similar. The variables crucial for determining the differences between voivodships show that Mazowieckie Voivodship occupies high positions in both rankings (and is the leader in the ranking of socio-economic development excluding environmental protection aspects), while Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship is characterised by a low level of development illustrated by both rankings.

The Impact

The aim of the research presented in this article is to determine the role of new towns created in Poland within 1989—2015. The study is focused on the analysis of socio-economic development of such cities, mainly as local labour markets, with particular emphasis on the scale of people commuting to work. For the purpose of this analysis i.a. a method of taxonomic measure of development was adopted (the creation of the measure is based on the estimation of the distance to the ideal solution). The study was carried out on the basis of the Local Data Bank resources provided by the CSO, as well as own esearch and works performed by other authors. The results of conducted research showed that the impact of the new cities on the creation of socio-economic relationship increases significantly when the centre has a well-developed economic base with public services of supra-local importance, which stimulates the development of other socio-economic links, e.g. service and trade. Furthermore, the role of large urban agglomerations in the socio-economic activation of people living in new small towns was outlined.

Dubrovnik-Neretva County (area 9,272.37 sq km, population 122,870 in 2001) is the southernmost county of the Republic of Croatia and it is territorially divided into 22 units of local government and self-government. Characteristics and specifics of regional planning in Dubrovnik-Neretva County which considerably influenced historical and geographical as well as socio-economic development of the aforementioned area were analyzed on the grounds of field researches and analysis of different sources of physical data and available documents concerning regional planning (all levels of planning were studied). Regional planning in this area dates from the 1272 Statute of Dubrovnik, but Regional Plan of the Southern Adriatic (1964-1968) and General Urban Plan of Dubrovnik from 1969 are considered to be the beginning of the modern period of planning.

Reform of the system of public finance is a key problem in the transformation processes of the Ukraine’s economy. Development of efficient methods of financial policy is especially important in the context of strategic challenges of economic growth, the competitiveness of the national economy, and convergence of the level of socio-economic development between different regions of the country. Most elements of the modern system of the Ukraine’s public finance were formed as far back as during the Soviet era, under the conditions of command and administrative economy, when neither the state budget, nor the local ones played any active role, but were a mere monetary reflection of the plans of socio-economic development. On the other hand, in market economies, public finance plays an important role in the provision of economic growth and efficient use of national economic resources, as well as in the solution of the problems related to social equity.During recent years, the attempt to reform intergovernmental fiscal relations in the Ukraine have failed either to create a well-balanced system for the distribution of powers between central state authorities and local government, or to elaborate adequate and transparent mechanisms for the formation of local budgets. The reason is that most problems of the local budgets are mostly treated by policy makers and local authorities in the context of the need to provide local budgets with “sufficient” financial resources.We emphasize that creation of an efficient budget system is not limited to a mere re-distribution of revenues between central and local budgets. Investigation of theoretic and methodological foundations of the development of the components of the system of public finance and intergovernmental fiscal relations in the Ukraine let us conclude that such development should be based on the use of economic principles and criteria as to the distribution of powers between the central authorities and local government. Furthermore, a consistent fiscal policy is needed, which would promote not only the convergence between the local budgets’ expenditures, but also, and first of all, the regions’ socio-economic development.

Abstract: This article shows the characteristics of spatial differentiation of level and dynamics of socio-economic development of rural areas in Poland. The Authors try to define typical directions of the development of gminas and look for an answer to the question: what, and what gminas’ features, determine the direction of development? The analysis presented in the paper has been based on the data originating from the Rural Development Monitoring Project. The results showed the differentiation of the development level to be a part of very dynamic contemporary reality. Criteria up to this date documented in research and arranging spatial diversity of social and economic phenomena apply specifically to description of the development’s level, while dynamics is being arranged by a different criteria. Moreover, the research describes four basic profiles of the dynamics of gminas’ development.

Purpose of the study: The aim of the article is an analysis of revenues for fees for permits for the sale of alcoholic beverages in the own income of municipalities of the Kielce poviat in 2018-2020. It is to enable the answer to be given about the role of the fee for issuing a permit for the sale of alcohol in the incomes of municipalities' own. Methodology: The work was based on the analysis of RB 27S reports on the implementation of the budget income plan of the surveyed municipalities, analysis of internal materials of these units, normative acts and the Local Data Bank Main findings: The data presented in the paper shows that the share of revenues from fees for the permit to sell alcohol in own income does not exceed 1.7% and has a downward trend. However, the actual revenue from the levy shows slight fluctuations over the period considered. Moreover, it does not matter whether we are dealing with a rural or an urban-rural commune. Application of the study: The following study concerns an important aspect of financing the activities of municipalities. Taxes and fees are the most important revenues in budgets. Each decision of the local government authorities has an impact on the level of income. It may lead to a lack of funds for the implementation of own tasks. The year 2021 may be interesting in terms of income from the fee under study due to the possibility of applying a fee exemption or postponing its payment resulting from the provisions of the Act of March 2, 2020 on special solutions related to the prevention, prevention and combating of COVID-19, other infectious diseases and the resulting crises. It is not an easy decision, because such action reduces the revenues to the commune's budget. Due to the fact that for the implementation of tasks for which the funds from the fee were provided, it will have to be financed with other income. Originality/Novelty of the study: The importance of the financial stability of local government units is an extremely important topic. Topics related to budget planning are essential for the long-term balancing of the demand for funds reported by local governments in relation to the efficiency of funds left at the disposal of local authorities. As a consequence, the subject of the study was the analysis of the dynamics and structure of local authorities' income from the point of view of the selected source of income. The article can inspire further research in the field of local government finance and contribute to other interesting scientific studies.

Abstract. Population and settlement are among aspects determining the level of socio-economic development. This paper analyses spatial differences in the level of development of the population and settlement in Wielkopolskie voivodship in Poland. The period studied embraces the years 2000-2010 and the units examined are those of the local NUTS 4 level, i.e. poviats. Two modes differing in the reference system were employed for the analysis, which was carried out (a) at the level of the population and settlement development of poviats in Wielkopolskie voivodship against all the poviats in Poland, and (b) again at the level of the population and settlement development of Wielkopolska poviats, but in abstraction from the rest of the country. In each of those reference systems a study was made of (a) the spatial distribution of the development level of Wielkopolskie voivodship in population and settlement terms to identify its growth and stagnation areas by poviat, at the levels of the country and the voivodship, and (b) the development trajectories of those two types of areas over the study period, at the voivodship level. The paper ends in a comparison of the results obtained using the two modes of analysis.
