Summary/Abstract: The regional development is certain, complex and multidimensional statistics, ambiguously defined, and although it is frequently used, both in theory and practice, its measurement method remains inconclusive. Regions are ranked from „the best” to „the worst” on the basis of the value describing individual regions (synthetic variable, synthetic development measure), obtained from the function aggregating information included in the adopted diagnostic variables. One of main stages of the procedure aiming to obtain a synthetic variable is weighing of standardised diagnostic features, i.e. assignment of weights to individual variables, which weights determine their meaning for the general criterion compared to other features. The objective of the paper is to assess the changes in time of the selected diagnostic variables describing the socioeconomic development of the various provinces in Poland over the years 2006‒2016. In this respect, the methods included in the Multidimensional Statistical Analysis were used.
