SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF AGING THE POLISH SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: The first law of geography formulated by W. Tobler in 1970, which says that everything is related, but near objects are more related than distant ones, spatial modeling has become an important research area. The methods which were developed proved to be excellent tools which can also be used in regional analysis. The most common are measures of spatial autocorrelations, which show the dependence of variables in respect of spatial localization. Spatial correlation allows to determine that intensification of a given phenomenon is more perceivable in neighboring units than in units distant from each other. The main objective of this paper is to study the spatial dependences of demographic aging index using measures of global and local spatial autocorrelation. The data used in analysis come from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Office. All calculations and presented maps were made in the R CRAN.
