Wojewódzkie planowanie przestrzenne – istota, możliwości i ograniczenia
Voivodeship spatial planning – the essence, opportunities and constraints

Summary/Abstract: Local government authorities of Polish voivodeships shape the space using spatial development plans for voivodeships. These plans, according to the law, determine the desired shape of elements of the voivodeship space – both tangible and intangible. However, they do not define how to achieve the planned shape of the space. Implementation of voivodeship development plans consists in including stipulations contained in these plans into detailed planning documents drawn up by communes. However, the solutions set out in these documents are narrower in scope – they are focused mainly on tangible elements of the space. Therefore, the majority of stipulations of voivodeship plans, especially those concerning socio-economic phenomena, are not fully implemented. This also results from the relatively low importance of the spatial planning in the structure of tasks of voivodeship local government.
