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.

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 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.

The aim of this article is to order linearly and classify powiats in Eastern and North-Eastern Poland by the living standards of the population as well as to carry out spatial autocorrelation analysis based on the created synthetic indicators of the living standard. For the purpose of this article, a synthetic indicator was created to assess living standards of the population based on previously selected set of diagnostic variables. The use of synthetic indicators made it possible to replace the multi-variable description of objects with one statistical number. It enabled to measure a multidimensional area such as living standards of population as well as to perform a linear ordering of examined objects. 101 powiats in the Lubelskie, Podkarpackie, Podlaskie, Świętokrzyskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodeships were included in the research. The TOPSIS, Ward’s and PAM methods were used in the research. Moreover spatial autocorrelation analyses were carried out based on the Moran’s I statistics. The main criterium for selecting variables was completeness and their accessibility for all objects in the research in the year 2014. Data from the Local Data Bank were used for the research purposes.

Abstract Bratton & Gold (2000) stated that socio economic development is playing crucial role in managing human resource progression in developed and developing countries. In the contemporary era developed countries such as USA, UK, Australia and many other European countries are using such progression strategies. National Socio-Economic Development Plan is one of the major strategies that involve welfare of unemployment, poverty, infrastructural development and transportation up gradation. Moreover, socio economic development also includes set up of hospitals and educational institutions (Bambangi, 2007). Such development statistics and process are outlined in various newspapers, magazines and periodical articles. These informative papers help the local human resource management in gaining proper insights on working and economic policies. In the current study importance and relation between socio-economic development and the human resources management will be outlined.

Mazowieckie Province is a unique area of Poland. It is characterised by social and economic diversification. Located in this province, Warsaw strongly influences the development of neighbouring rural areas. On the other hand, rural municipalities whose socio-economic parameters are among the lowest in the country are located within several dozen kilometres from the centre of the capital. Such disparities show that Mazowieckie is characterised by large interregional differences in its internal structure. This is an interesting research area that requires the analysis of socio-economic development in this region to be conducted in a multidimensional way. The aim of this study is to evaluate the spatial differentiation of the level of socio-economic development of rural areas in Mazowieckie Province. Linear ordering was used to determine the level of socio-economic development. The results of the study are consistent with core-periphery theory. The large urban centres that function as the centres for the surrounding rural areas have the greatest impact on the level of rural development. The impact of smaller towns can also be noticed. They often are the local development centres for surrounding villages.

The structure of the national model of social and economic development is considered in the composition of types and subtypes of the economic system, taking into account the types of macroeconomic policy and the sector of the national economy, the nature of institutional transformations and institutional changes in the national economy is described, types of modern transformations or choice of alternative development options are identified. The difference between institutional changes and institutional transformations is revealed, namely institutional transformations and institutional changes are associated with the replacement of institutions, but it is the result of the former that the institutions that predetermine the functioning of the main components (predetermining attributes) of the economic system are replaced. It has been established that as a result of institutional transformations, changes take place in the system-forming institutions that predetermine the nature and characteristics of social and economic development. The transformations that took place or are potentially possible are determined in the context of the problem of managing the socio-economic development of the Republic of Crimea. It is determined that in the case of institutional transformations, there is necessarily a specific bifurcation point, characterized by the occurrence of a certain event or group of events, and is the starting platform for a specific institutional transformation. A scheme of various variants (scenarios) of the passage of the bifurcation point in the process of development of the national economy under the influence of external and internal factors is constructed, and changes in the states of development of the national economy during the passage of the bifurcation point are determined. The internal critical instability of the current state of development of the national economy has been studied. It is determined that institutional changes without the flow of institutional transformations represent a combination of the replacement of institutions in certain areas or spheres of socio-economic development. At the same time, the bifurcation point is absolutely not an obligatory condition, as a result of which institutional changes can take place constantly, thus constantly modernizing the institutional environment, taking into account new agreements, decision-making features and many other factors.

This article evaluates the influence of the Natura 2000 network (N2K) of protected areas on the investment attractiveness of Polish regions. Natura 2000 sites were analyzed with the use of the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), a linear ordering method with a common pattern and anti-pattern of development, and correlation analysis (Pearson’s correlation coefficient). The basic unit of analysis was the county (Polish: powiat, the second-level unit of local government and administration in Poland). Poland is divided into 16 regions (known as voivodeships) with a total of 380 counties. The results of the analysis were used to determine synthetic values describing the level and potential of investment attractiveness in Polish counties, and the strength of correlations between the evaluated phenomena. Indicators of investment attractiveness of Polish counties were selected based on published data and analyzed in view of several criteria: labor resources, technical infrastructure, social infrastructure, market support and administrative support. The correlations between the investment attractiveness of Polish counties and the presence of N2K sites in those counties were analyzed statistically. Data for analysis were acquired from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office. The analysis revealed that the presence of N2K sites in the examined territorial units does not significantly influence their investment attractiveness.

Regional Product

The functional theoretical model of the socio-economic development of regions is constructed by the method of statistical equations of dependences, for substantiating objectives, plans and standards. The nomenclature of factors with impact on the formation of gross regional product is proposed, the share of impact of each factor is determined. In the new economic conditions, the concept of planning is determined from the perspective of outlining the ways to achieve its effectiveness. The process of planning needs to consist of formulating overall strategic intentions on determining specific and detailed actions aimed at generating income and spending over a certain period (a year or five years), outlining the ways and means for the achievement of goals. An important component in this process is control over the achievement of the goal by comparing reported and planned data, identifying and evaluating factors with either positive or negative impact on the economic performance. Solutions to the issues of planning and forecasting of phenomena and processes, structural change in the economy or stability of the economic system are a matter of vital importance for scientific communities, practical economists and power officials. This is a reason behind great attention drawn to constructing of economic development models, designed to analyze allocation of production resources and distribution of the national product for social purposes, which constitutes the main function of the state policy Basically, economic and statistical modeling can be made by use of the following models: model of economic systems; model of production process; model of demand and consumption of goods and services; model of prices and income; model of financial flows; model of national economy; model of socio-economic development. When modeling the socio-economic development at country or regional level, constructing and evaluating social and economic policies at either level, statistical methods need to be used, expert methods and methods of neural-fuzzy modeling in particular. Use of the method of statistical equations of dependences allows for supplementing the given nomenclature of forms for economic and statistical modeling by the following types of modeling: substantiating the objectives, plans or standards of the development of economic phenomena through constructing of functional theoretical models; predicting change in the factors when determining the level of socio-economic phenomena in a future period. Understanding the essence of an economic model is greatly important for generating information about the socio-economic development.
