Dynamika sieci społecznych osób niepełnosprawnych we współczesnym społeczeństwie polskim
The dynamics of social networks of people with disabilities in contemporary Polish society

Summary/Abstract: Demonstrating the social situation of the people with disabilities requires determining their position in relation to the rest of society, which makes it necessary to compare the relationships of people with disabilities and people without them. Adopting this perspective makes it possible to reflect and capture the structure of social networks of the people with disabilities. This helps to show the factors hindering the integration of this category with society and to show the dynamics which they are subjected to. The analysis of this phenomenon enables the use of network theory, which serves as a tool of re-creating and multi-dimensional analysis of the dynamic network of social relations, essential in demonstrating the degree of marginalization of people with disabilities. The main aim of the article is to describe the characteristics of social networks of the people with disabilities, which will help to re-create the processes happening within them as well as identify the factors that reinforce the marginalization of this category and hinder its full integration with society. For this purpose, the analysis of existing data from the Social Diagnosis 2011 and 2015 has been applied, which enabled to examine the structure of social networks of people with disabilities.
