Summary/Abstract: Symbolic data are applied in the spatial analysis of economic situation. They enable to take account of the structure of a phenomenon within compared regions, especially if significant regional disparities occur. The objective of the paper is to discuss the concept of symbolic data and their applications in describing the economic situations of territorial units. The paper shows the problems in measuring the economic situation in comparative research and the concept and construction of symbolic data for describing the situations of territorial units, as well as the methods of their analysis. The article also presents an empirical example of applying symbolic data in the analysis of regional disproportions of the economic situation in Poland.
