Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie widoczności polskich miast w cyberprzestrzeni oraz cyberprzestrzennych powiązań pomiędzy nimi. Widoczność miast w cyberprzestrzeni została określona poprzez analizę wyników uzyskanych przy zastosowaniu wyszukiwarki internetowej Google (liczba wskazań dla nazwy miasta). Powiązania pomiędzy miastami przybliżono jako współwystępowanie nazw dla danej pary miast. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, iż pozycja oraz powiązania pomiędzy miastami w cyberprzestrzeni są ściśle związane z tymi ze świata realnego. Zaprezentowane badania wskazują, iż analiza zasobów informacyjnych sieci WWW może być stosowana w badaniach nad znaczeniem miast oraz relacjami pomiędzy nimi.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss cyberspatial visibility of Polish cities and their connections. The visibility of cities is determined based on the results obtained by Googling phrases connected with cities. The connections in cyberspace are approximated using the analysis of co-occurrence of terms (shared presence) connected with pairs of cities. On the basis of the research, it can be stated that the position and the connections between the cities in cyberspace are closely related to those found in the real world. The research indicates that the information analysis of Web resources can be applied to determine the significance of cities and connections between them.
