Analiza zróżnicowania przestrzennego absorpcji funduszy unii europejskiej przez samorządy terytorialne w Polsce
Spatial differences in the absorption of eu funds by the regional and local governments in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is (1) to analyze spatial differences in the absorption of EU funds by the regional and local governments in Poland between 2004 and 2012 and (2) to determine the level of accessibility to the cohesion policy financial means allocated for these¶beneficiaries. Within the framework of the research the geographic potential model was used which allowed taking into account the spatial impact of investments co-financed by EU funds. As a result of analysis it was found that relative accessibility to EU funds was significantly higher in eastern Poland in relation to the central and western regions. There were also noticed differences in accessibility among surrounding areas of major Polish cities.
