The condition of the waste management development is a complex phenomenon described by eight diagnostic variables. The purpose of the paper is to indicate regional discrepancies in the scope of shaping of the phenomenon in 2012 and 2013. To achieve the purpose, the multivariate analysis was applied, with a particular focus on the zero unitarization method. As a result of application of the aforementioned methods, the ranking of voivodeships with respect to the level of their waste management development was obtained. Further, the voivodeships were divided into four groups: at a very high, high, moderate, and low level of the waste management development. The level of the waste management development is not evenly distributed between given voivodeships. There are significant discrepancies within the investigated area between the voivodeships leading in the ranking (Mazowieckie), and the last voivodeship in the fourth group (Świętokrzyskie) – [I(Qi) 52.5 in 2013].
The article is an attempt to diagnose the level of heavy agricultural equipment in Nowosądeckie Subregion. On the basis of chosen diagnostic variables, normalised by zero unitarization method, ranking of districts of the subregion has been constructed. The results show significant differentiation within the area being investigated as well as lower level of its farm equipment in comparison with the other districts of Małopolskie Voivodeship.
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie stopnia dywersyfikacji struktury obszarowej gospodarstw w Polsce w ujęciu przestrzennym. Wykorzystując odpowiedni miernik zróżnicowań strukturalnych i w dalszej kolejności taksonomię struktur, dokonano podziału województw, a następnie powiatów na ugrupowania o zbliżonych do siebie strukturach obszarowych. Wyniki zaprezentowano w formie map. Kolejnym celem jest zbadanie dynamiki zmian liczebności gospodarstw o areale równym lub przekraczającym 50 ha. Realizacja tego zadania sprowadza się do estymacji modelu tendencji rozwojowe kształtowania się omawianej wielkości. Oszacowany model wykorzystano do budowy prognozy liczby dużych gospodarstw w Polsce do roku 2015.
The article presents results of study on innovativeness of bioeconomy in Poland in the field of reuse of wastes. The research was carried out on the basis of a spatial reference system of voivodeships in reference to data from 2013. Innovativeness of bioeconomy in rational reuse of wastes is a complex phenomenon which is described by means of selected diagnostic variables. Subsequently, the method of the scope of multidimensional comparative analysis, that results in formulation of ranking with regard to the level of an examined complex phenomenon was described. Further the method proposed by author was applied and on its basis the objects (voivodeships) were categorized into four groups. The leading positions are occupied by the following voivodeships: Masovian, Silesian, Lower Silesian. Last places in the raking are taken by voivodeships located in the eastern part of the country and include the following voivodeships: Świętokrzyskie, Lubuskie, Opolskie. These voivodeships constitute the forth group, namely the most numerous but, at the same time, the weakest.
