Background: Aging is one of the most serious problems that most developed countries are facing in the 21st century. In the European Union, Member States are responsible for the planning, funding and administration of health care and social protection systems. Local authorities and state governments should undertake research toward developing an appropriate array of community-based care services for old people. Objectives: This study analyses the regions of Slovenia for servicing old people in the 2000-2010 time horizon. Methods/Approach: Sets of functional regions were modelled for each year in the analysed period using the Intramax method. Functional regions were evaluated based on the attractiveness of central places for labour commuters and the propensity to commute between regions. Results: The results show that in addition to the nominally declared regional centres of Slovenia, there are also some other local centres that should be potentially included in the functional areas for servicing old people. Conclusions: The results suggest that the regionalization into seven functional regions is the most convenient for servicing old people in the region. Furthermore, some additional functional regions at a lower level are suggested.

Background: Intramax is a hierarchical aggregation procedure for dealing with the multi-level specification problem and with the association issue of data set reduction, but it was used as a functional regionalization procedure many times in the past. Objectives: In this paper, we analyse the simultaneous use of three different constraints in the original Intramax procedure, i.e. the contiguity constraint, the higher-inner-flows constraint, and the lower-variation-of-inner-flows constraint. Methods/Approach: The inclusion of constraints in the Intramax procedure was analysed by a programme code developed in Mathematica 10.3 by the processing time, by intra-regional shares of total flows, by self-containment indexes, by numbers of singleton and isolated regions, by the number of aggregation steps where a combination of constraints was applied, by the number of searching steps until the combination of constraints was satisfied, and by surveying the results geographically. Results: The use of the contiguity constraint is important only at the beginning of the aggregation procedure; the higher-inner-flows constraint gives singleton regions, and the lower-variation constraint forces the biggest employment centre as an isolated region up to a relatively high level of aggregation. Conclusions: The original Intramax procedure (without the inclusion of any constraint) gives the most balanced and operative hierarchical sets of functional regions without any singletons or isolated regions.

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie koncepcji Warszawsko-Łódzkiego Obszaru Funkcjonalnego, z uwzględnieniem nowatorskich rozwiązań w zakresie planowania rozwoju, zastosowanych w trakcie prac nad Zintegrowaną Strategią Rozwoju Warszawsko-Łódzkiego Obszaru Funkcjonalnego (WŁOF). Zintegrowana Strategia Rozwoju WŁOF koncentruje się na wykreowaniu w łódzko-warszawskim obszarze funkcjonalnym nowego jakościowo zasobu w postaci kapitału terytorialnego, stanowiącego podstawę rozwoju większych układów terytorialnych i będącego wypadkową: relacji gospodarczych, społecznych oraz przestrzeni. W trakcie prac nad Strategią zastosowano ciekawe rozwiązanie w postaci zintegrowanej analizy SWOT, stanowiącej krzyżową analizę powiązań społecznych, gospodarczych i przestrzennych, pozwalającej na wykazanie związków między rozwojem kapitału ludzkiego, społecznego, gospodarki i środowiska. Strategia prezentuje również koncepcję tzw. zintegrowanych projektów rozwojowych, wpisujących się w koncepcję kapitału terytorialnego, stanowiących kluczowy element realizacji Strategii oraz osiągnięcia założonych w niej celów. Kapitał terytorialny, jako zasadniczy element Strategii Rozwoju WŁOF, wymaga budowania relacji pomiędzy różnymi podmiotami zaangażowanymi w procesy rozwojowe, opartych na współpracy i zaufaniu. Stąd też autorka prezentuje wyniki pilotażowych badań, przeprowadzonych podczas prac nad Strategią, mających na celu określenie dysfunkcji we współpracy prowadzonej przez jednostki administracji samorządowej (JST). Wyniki badań, przeprowadzonych wśród 17 JST województwa łódzkiego, pozwoliły na określenie obszarów wymagających szczególnej uwagi i interwencji w trakcie wdrażania Zintegrowanej Strategii Rozwoju WŁOF. Dokument, jak i zidentyfikowane w trakcie jego opracowania problemy, mogą stanowić również inspirację dla podmiotów odpowiedzialnych za zarządzanie rozwojem innych układów terytorialnych oraz przygotowanie i realizację strategii ich rozwoju.

The aim of the article is to present the concept of the Warsaw-Lodz Functional Area (WLFA), including innovative approaches to development planning applied while working on the Integrated Development Strategy of the WLFA. Integrated Development Strategy of the WLFA focuses on creating of a new qualitatively asset in the WLFA in form of a territorial capital, underpinning the development of larger territorial systems and resulting from: economic and social relations, spatial development, natural resources. An interesting solution of an integrated SWOT analysis was used during the work on the Strategy. This cross-analysis of economic, special and social relationships allowed to demonstrate the interdependence among the development of the following factors: human and social capital, economy and environment. Moreover, the Strategy presents the concept of integrated development projects as part of the concept of territorial capital, which is the key element of the Strategy itself and of achieving its strategic objectives. The territorial capital, as an essential component of the Development Strategy of the WLFA, requires building cooperation-and-trust-based relationships among various actors involved in development processes. Hence, the author presents the results of pilot studies conducted in the course of work on the Strategy, aimed at identifying dysfunction in co-operation carried out by the local government units (LGUs). The results of the survey conducted among 17 LGUs in the Lodz region allowed to identify areas for particular attention during implementation of the Integrated Development Strategy of the WLFA. The document and identified in the course of its elaboration problems, can also be an inspiration for those responsible for managing the development of other territorial systems and for preparation and implementation of strategies for their development.
