Sprawność zarządzania rozwojem terytorium w polskich uwarunkowaniach

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present approach towards management of development processes of territories. Very important aspect of this approach is that territory is not perceived as a space delimited by administrative boundaries. In Poland, concepts of socio-economic development are dominated by regional approach, related to intra- and interregional policy. However, the outcome of numerous analyses conduced in spatial dimensions, show that the concentration of development processes do not take place with the same intensity in regional space. It also proves that development activity overstep administrative borders. Therefore the question is whether policy-makers and public authorities perceive necessity to strengthen such a territory, characterized by accumulation of dynamic development processes in context of administrative region or country. The paper focuses on presenting what kind of territories of an increased activity can be pointed out in Polish dimension and whether they will be given a proper attention as a subject of the development policies.
