Metody badań przestrzenno-ekonomicznych w ujęciu dynamicznym i ich zastosowanie w regionalistyce. Wizualizacja zjawisk
Methods of spatial-economic research in dynamic approach and their application in regional studies. Visualisation of Phenomena

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to present selected methods of spatial-economic research with a special focus on Michalski's method. The enlargement of the European Union by new countries is an important opportunity to carry out comparative studies, making it possible to analyse and assess the competitiveness of regions as well as spatial and regional diversity of growth centres. The presented visualisation methods are the authors' modest contribution to literature on this subject. This contribution includes collecting domestic methods, their implementation in research and some modifications. The purpose of these methods was to examine spatial processes (in such areas as: economy, demography, agriculture, quality of life or building) in different spatial sections, in the years 1990–1992. There are many methods of examining similarity (dissimilarity) of regional structures. All of them fundamentally depend on the concept of structure. In this paper, two different approaches of this concept and the relevant measures shall be presented. Furthermore, various methods of visualisation of the obtained measures shall be presented.
