The aim of the analysis was to determine the trends of changes in the level of economic development in four voivodships: West Pomeranian, Pomeranian, Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie. The study discusses the genesis of economic development, using the example of countries with oil deposits. The thesis presents the approach of development by Adam Smith, John S. Mill, Paul Krugmann and others. The research was carried out based on secondary data obtained from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office. The publication applies, among others, an analysis of sources of domestic and foreign literature as well as an index analysis, the results of which were presented in tabular form. For the purpose of this publication, the author used an analysis of sources of domestic and foreign literature as well as an analysis of secondary data expressed in real terms, the results of which have been presented in tabular form. The publication uses current quality data. The assessment of changes in the context of development covered the years 2004-2017. The analyses made indicate an increase in the level of economic development in individual voivodships in the examined period. The research has shown a growing trend in the value of analysed economic values (including GDP per capita). The Pomeranian Voivodship achieved the greatest growth. A divergence in the level of economic growth of voivodships located in eastern and western parts of Poland is visible. The voivodships located at the eastern Polish border, i.e. Warmian-Masurian and Podlaskie, show a significant slowdown, achieving the lowest development parameters.

The aim of the paper was to identify and compare the results of EU funds absorption from regional operational programs 2007-2013 by the rural communes of Śląskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodships. The study was based on secondary data from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office and the SIMIK database. The financial results of absorption of EU funds from ROP s by rural communes differ significantly between the discussed voivodships and within Śląskie, while they are relatively unified in Kujawsko-Pomorskie. The structure of spending the funds obtained, by the SIMIK priorities, varies in both regions, although the very high share of expenditures on regional and local roads is the common feature. Only moderate correlactions between absorption value with average annual population and average annual revenues of commune budgets in kujawsko-pomorskie were statistically significant.

Reducing development disparities between municipalities requires the development of entrepreneurship, which is an organized process of actions. Entrepreneurship is an interdisciplinary concept that is important for social and economic development. The aim of the article is to assess the entrepreneurship in the aspect of rural communes’ development using a synthetic measure. The assessments were carried out in a system of 484 rural communes of voivodships of eastern Poland. Data from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office of 2009 and 2018 were used as source material. In 2018, the TOPSIS method for measuring entrepreneurship ranged from 0.07 to 0.63 and the development measure from 0.23 to 0.62. This confirmed the smaller diversity of rural communes in eastern Poland in the aspect of development, and greater in the aspect of entrepreneurship. The synthetic measure of entrepreneurship was correlated with the measure of development.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the leveland spatial differentiation of selected environmental governanceparameters in the context of implementing the sustainabledevelopment concept in rural areas of the Wielkopolskievoivodeship districts in 2005 and 2015. The research procedurewas made up of three steps: review of the relevant literatureand selection of indicators to describe the environmentalgovernance topics; analyzing the changes in, and spatial differentiationof, specific environmental governance components;and ranking the districts. The basic source of data wasthe online database delivered by the Central Statistical Officein Warsaw, the Local Data Bank. As shown by the results,there is considerable spatial differentiation of specific environmentalgovernance components; however, when analyzedglobally, environmental governance proves to be a relativelynon-diversified process. In 2015, the highest sustainabilitylevels were recorded in rural areas of the following districts:Złotów, Kępno and Jarocin. In turn, the lowest levels werefound in Września, Wągrowiec and Śrem districts.

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 objective of the study presented in the article is to determine the spatial diversification and determinants of construction activity in Poland between 2006 and 2015. Theoretical hypotheses and observations of behaviour of economic entities clearly show that their decisions depend both on the situation in local and regional markets, as well as distances from other regions or local markets. The number and the surface area of completed residential units, as well as the number of completed buildings and issued construction permits, were adopted as the measures of construction activity. The analysis also includes selected demographic, social and economic indices characterising the individual territorial units in Poland on the basis of the local data bank maintained by the Central Statistical Office. In the course of the study, spatial panel models were used, and as a result of the study, construction activity models were obtained, taking spatial interactions into account.

The paper aimed to examine the level and asses the spatial distribution of human capital defined in the area of health quality in rural areas of the West Pomeranian province. The selected methods of multicriteria taxonomy to estimate the synthetic index HCSIh and agglomeration methods for grouping objects with a relatively homogeneous internal structure were used. It was assumed the correlation between the level of health capital HCSIh and the type of commune separated due to the component of the level of socio-economic development according to the MROW typology. The obtained results indicate uneven distribution of health capital, but they do not give grounds for accepting the verified hypothesis. The study covered rural areas of the West Pomeranian province, defined according to the CSO administrative criterion as rural and rural-urban communes. The Central Statistical Office Local Data Bank and the Monitoring of rural areas development data were the main source.

Financial independence is an important factor in socio-economic development, especially in rural areas. Rural gminas (communities), mainly located peripherally to larger urban centers, have significantly lower revenue potential. This also means a lower level of financial independence of rural gminas, which in turn can be a barrier in multifunctional rural development. This issue is a priority for the European Union. The main objective of this article is a synthetic assessment of the level of financial independence of rural gminas in the Wielkopolskie voivodship in 2013. The basis of information studies, using the method TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity is an Ideal Solution) to assess the financial condition of municipalities, were data from the Central Statistical Office (Local Data Bank — Public finances for 2013) and Ministry of Finance (Indicators for assessing the financial position of local government units in 2011—2013).

Abstract - This study aims to find out how the level of economic development inequality and the inequality of income distribution in Banjarmasin City and Tanah Bumbu Regency, and how the comparison of the economic development inequality and the inequality of income distribution in that two regions. This study uses secondary data from the period of 2013-2017. The data is obtained from BPS. The analysis of inequality level of economic development using Williamson index, and analyzing the inequality of income distribution using the index gini ratio. The comparison results of Williamson index and the gini ratio index during 2013-2017 found that each analysis tool had different results. So that, it can be explained that the inequality level of regional economic development in the Tanah Bumbu Regency area with an average of 0.171 occurred due to the economy which relies on natural resources (mining and excavation), the mobility of goods and services is not smooth (distribution of goods and migration). However, the level of inequality in income distribution is low with an average of 0.312. It is because the depreciation of people's work is not much different, so that the income distribution is more evenly distributed. The inequality of economic development in Banjarmasin city is low with an average of 0.021. It occurs because the Banjarmasin city is the center of economy activities in the Province of South Kalimantan (the provincial capital). Banjarmasin city has the better infrastructure availability than other regions. In contrary, the inequality level of income distribution is in high level with an average of 0.354. It occurs because of the differences in types of work and skills of people in Banjarmasin. In addition, it also occurs becauce Banjarmasin City has a small area so that there is an inequality in income distribution.   Keywords: Williamson Index, and Gini Ratio Index.

As the socio-economic reality is growing increasingly complex, the role of local governments in the management of events and processes occurring in local communities gains importance. Considering the fact that the basic task of local authorities is to stimulate the growth and development of a given local entity, an analysis was undertaken to the aim of assessing the relationship between the level of local development and the institutional efficiency of local self-governments and vice versa, in a regional approach (NUTS 2). To achieve this aim, mixed data were analysed, that is raw data (acquired via survey from 1,220 municipalities) and secondary data (from the database of the Local Data Bank). The efficiency of local governments was measured with an aggregate factor EFF, while the level of development was assessed with the DEV measure. The results indicate that the local governments did rather poorly in terms of both efficiency and development. In both cases, the mean value of the applied synthetic measures reached no more than 30% of the maximum attainable score. The basic tools in the research were correlation and regression analysis. Both procedures demonstrated the presence of a relationship between the two analysed categories (r = 0.365). Moreover, the analysis of regression showed that the impact of developmental processes on the improvement of efficiency of local governments was stronger that the influence of improved efficiency on developmental processes occurring in the analysed municipalities.

A commune’s own income potential, indicative of financial self‑sufficiency, underpins the ability of its government to foster local growth. Accurate recognition of the potential levels necessary for improvement of development policies requires that, apart from considering communes’ own potential, neighbouring communes’ potential should be taken into account, especially if the neighbours are large urban centres of substantial demographic and economic capacity. This article aims to examine spatial autocorrelation of income potential of metropolitan communes of Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław, and Cracow metro areas in 2014. The study draws on data published by the Central Statistical Office in the Local Data Bank and uses the R programme packages, such as spdep, maptools, and shapefiles for calculations.
