Socio-Spatial Aspects of Cluster Structures with Particular Ephasis on Maritime Economy

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of this study is to present the socio-territorial contexts related to the functioning of cluster structures. Clusters are the subject of the research, and the scope of the research covers examples of these structures operating in coastal areas. This issue is of particular importance for the maritime economy, which often struggles with barriers to the proper development of integration processes taking place in this sphere. To specify the basic, cognitive purpose of the study, an in-depth query of the literature on the subject was used, as well as the results of own research. For this purpose, in January 2023, in-depth interviews were conducted among maritime economy experts and cluster experts (in the Zachodniopomorskie Voivodeship) using the CATI method. It has been proven that effective cooperation is conducive to the proper expansion of cluster structures, which in turn play a key role in the process of integrating the maritime economy environment.
