The Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship is a NUTS II region, which belongs to the least developed regions of Poland and the EU. One of the reasons of its underdevelopment is poor transport accessibility, which limits the level of competitiveness and investment attractiveness. For this reason the voivodship authorities made a decision to build a regional airport by modernising the military airport in Szymany near Szczytno. The investment, which is co-financed by the European Funds, is aimed to reduce the level of peripherality of the region, increase its competitiveness and, as a consequence, raise the socio-economic development level. This paper aims to answer three questions. The first one concerns the extent to which the existence of a regional airport is a factor stimulating socio-economic development of regions, including peripheral ones. The second one is related to the question whether the location of the planned airport is justified by economic factors, or, to put in another way, whether the airport will bring profits in the long run. The last question, related to the previous ones, is whether the realisation of the investment in the planned form will help to reduce the degree of peripherality of the Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship and thus accelerate its socio-economic development.

The main aim of the research presented in this paper was to construct and evaluate a synthetic index of socio-economic potential of Polish cities (IoEp) at the level of voivodships and also to examine relations between this potential and the economic development of regions. The index reflects the level of localisation advantages offered by a city. That is why an assumption was made that there is a positive relationship between the level of socio-economic potential of cities in a region (measured by the IoEP index) and its level of economic development. The obtained results show that there are significant and stable differences in the level of economic potential of Polish cities. One can also observe that the higher the level of IoEP was, the higher the value of regional GDP per capita. That gives some basis to positively verify the research hypothesis.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the selected investment in transport infrastructure in terms of its impact on the economy at the local level. The study involves ten gminas within a 60 km radius (approximately 1 hour’s traveling distance) of Poznań. Using the available statistical data set, it was determined whether the construction of the motorway had an impact on the number and the structure of enterprises located in the surveyed communities, the levels of gmina revenues, and the situation on the labour market. Performed analysis allowed reaching a positive verification of the research hypothesis, which predicts that the A2 did not have a decisive impact on the economic development of the gminas. In all of the included aspects, gminas located along the A2 were characterized by a relatively high level of economic development compared to the Wielkopolskie Voivodship and the rest of Poland. At the same time, the level of development was lower when compared with gminas within the Poznań Poviat. These results suggest that the decisive factor in shaping the level of economic development was their geographic location in relation to the nearby urban agglomeration of Poznań.

Miasta i obszary słabo zurbanizowane a procesy konwergencji gospodarczej w Polsce

Istotnym wyzwaniem dla dalszej integracji gospodarczej Unii Europejskiej jest ograniczenie dysproporcji w poziomie wzrostu gospodarczego. W wielu rozwiniętych krajach rosną one relatywnie szybko, szczególnie w wymiarze regiony miejskie vs. obszary słabo zurbanizowane. Tymczasem wyniki wybranych badań wskazują, że w przypadku niektórych gospodarek UE (tzw. starej Unii) dysproporcje w tym ujęciu zmniejszają się. Celem analiz było określenie, który z wymienionych wzorców rozwoju regionalnego przeważa w polskiej gospodarce. Na podstawie kształtowania się PKB per capita w latach 2000-2013 dla trzech typów regionów, na poziomie NUTS 3 (duże miasta, regiony funkcjonalne dużych miast, obszary słabo zurbanizowane), określono, czy zachodził między nimi proces konwergencji.

Cities and urban agglomerations shape the process of economic development in a significant way, both in national and regional scale,. The desire to improve the level and dynamics of economic development of an agglomeration and surrounding areas requires a coordination of actions undertaken by local governments of units forming an agglomeration. This, in turn, raises an important issue of determining the spatial extent of their impact. The aim of the study is to delimitate the boundaries of functional area of Olsztyn agglomeration. Agglomeration area is a highly integrated functional area where various functions are realized like, for example, manufacturing, consumption, administrative or commercial. These functions are realized in different parts of an agglomeration area, so in that respect it is not uniform, but there is always a high degree of integration and an intensity of relationships. Most often used, but not the only one, criterion for the delimitation of functional urban region is the spatial extent of daily commuting. The factors used to delimitate the functional area of Olsztyn agglomeration relate to morphological criteria (that is associated with the degree, intensity of use of space), the functional criterion (reflecting the degree of relationship between the center city and surrounding area) and a criterion of the dynamics of socio-economic processes taking place in the urban area (they refer primarily to the dynamics of migration processes and to the economic development of the surveyed units). One of the characteristic features of urban agglomerations is, in fact, greater intensity and variability of changes taking place in its functioning. The analyzes lead to the conclusion that the functional area of Olsztyn agglomeration consists of 12 municipalities (except the city of Olsztyn) – nine of them belong to the Olsztyn poviat (Barczewo, Dobre Miasto, Dywity, Gietrzwałd, Jeziorany, Jonkowo, Purda, Stawiguda, Świątki), two to the Szczytno poviat (Dźwierzuty, Pasym) and one to the Ostróda poviat (Lukta). The functional area of Olsztyn agglomeration at the end of 2010 consisted of 268 684 people, representing 18.8% of the population of Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship. The size of the area is, in turn, 2 682 km2, which makes 11.1% of the voivodship. The agglomeration is home to the largest and most important in Warmia and Mazury region employers, government agencies and local governments, colleges and universities. In Olsztyn there are also located important for the whole region cultural and economic institutions as well as health care facilities. The production structure is dominated by the food industry, machinery, furniture and tire production. Tourism is also an important industry, because of its location and the landscape.

In this paper the authors carry out an analysis of the effectiveness of European Union economic cohesion policy. It was done from a perspective of one of the most economically depressed regions in Poland and in the EU – the Warmia and Mazury voivodeship. The economic effectiveness of the cohesion policy is measured by analysing the reduction of disparities between regions with the lowest level of economic development and regions that are more developed. The aim of the research was to evaluate the rate of economic growth in Warmia and Mazury and in Poland. The basis of the evaluation was a comparative analysis of the GDP per capita growth rate against selected countries and regions of EU in the years 1995–2010. Studies have shown that compared with the regions and countries of the EU, the analysed voivodeship was characterized by a relatively rapid rate of economic growth. At the same time, however, the economies of the most developed regions of Poland were growing faster. Consequently, the EU cohesion policy in the Warmia and Mazury region has been found to be effective in comparison with other countries and regions of the EU, but questionable in the national dimension.

Competitiveness is a key factor determining the development of a region and hence the standard of living of its inhabitants, and human capital is one of the most important factors enabling improvement of regional competitiveness. The aim of the presented research is to analyse the spatial differentiation of the level of human capital in the regions of the European Union (EU) in relation to their level of competitiveness. The results show significant disproportions in this respect, especially between the so-called old and new EU. The higher levels of human capital in the old EU regions were also generally accompanied by a higher level of competitiveness. In the long run, this will lead to an increase in regional disparities in development.
