Contemporary developmental processes take place in diverse ways in socio-economical space. Diversity occurs among individual regions as well as inside of those regions. The border areas are a specific example of this. As commonly is accepted, they show a natural tendency to peripherality. The reasons for this are manifold and in the contemporary realities of Central Europe, they cannot be attributed only to location. The aim of this article is to systematize the knowledge about border areas and the reasons for their peripherality, and an example of Prudnik District has been used.

The authors aimed to examine the phenomenon of indebtedness on the part of the local self-government units in Poland. The situation is evolving, and as such it pertains to an overwhelming majority of municipalities and counties. The barrier to increased indebtedness was established in the form of a unit-specific debt indicator, which came into force in 2014, and the amendments came into existence on the 1st of January, 2020. The composition of the indicator aims to allow the Regional Chambers of Auditors to monitor the proceedings and prevent continued deterioration. However, the authors indicate that the crux of the issue that the local self-government units face is the insufficient revenue they generate, which calls for an increased allocation of central budgetary funds to the local selfgovernment units in the form of grants and subsidies as well as the designing of numerous ways to finance their operations. Drawing upon the experiences gained by other states, the authors postulate the launch of the territorial and resource-based consolidation reforms on the part of the lower local self-government units – municipalities. This is believed to enhance a more effective leveraging of the endogenous resources on the part of the local selfgovernment units, maximising the economies of scale that pertain to the local economy as well as societal resources. The lower local self-government units in Poland were established over 20 years ago. Since the establishment, the units have come to represent the entities that are ineffective in a structural and functional manner. Furthermore, they fail to ensure the modern development path of local communities. The examination that has been conducted validates the need for reforms and it portrays the currents behind.

Regional development in the globalizing economy is a result of many factors. At the same time, this process may take different forms. Undoubtedly one of the factors that influence the development of the regions are innovations.Innovations are unquestionably a chance but at the same time a great challenge for regions. The article attempts to identify the importance of innovations in the development of the region.

Autorzy podjęli się analizy zjawiska zadłużenia jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce. Jest to zjawisko dynamiczne, które dotyczy zdecydowanej większości gmin i powiatów. Barierę dla ekspansji zadłużenia stanowi istniejący od 2014 roku Indeks Długu Indywidualnego (IOI), którego nowe elementy weszły w życie 1 stycznia 2020 roku. Struktura indeksu ma na celu umożliwienie regionalnym izbom rachunkowym (RIO) kontrolowania tego procesu i zapobiegania jego postępowi. Autorzy wskazują jednak, że głównym problemem dla jednostek samorządu terytorialnego są niewystarczające dochody własne, co zmusza je do zwiększenia puli środków przekazywanych z budżetu centralnego do samorządów w formie dotacji i subwencji oraz do poszukiwania różnych form pożyczek na swoją działalność. Korzystając z doświadczeń krajów skandynawskich, autorzy proponują rozpoczęcie reform terytorialnych i konsolidacyjnych zasobów małych jednostek samorządu terytorialnego – gmin i powiatów. Celem jest ułatwienie lepszego wykorzystania endogenicznych zasobów JST oraz wykorzystanie korzyści skali związanych z lokalną gospodarką i zasobami społecznymi. Powinno to zaowocować, podobnie jak w Skandynawii, rozwojem przedsiębiorczości publicznej, większą efektywnością i skutecznością społeczną oraz stabilizacją dochodów poszczególnych jednostek. Po ponad 20 latach działalności małe jednostki samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce stały się strukturalnie i funkcjonalnie przestarzałe i nie gwarantują nowoczesnego rozwoju społeczności lokalnych.

The authors have undertaken an analysis of the phenomenon of debt of local government units in Poland. It is a dynamic phenomenon, which affects vast majority of municipalities and districts. A barrier to debt expansion has been established in the form of the Individual Debt Index (IOI), which has been in place since 2014 and its new elements entered into force on 1 January 2020. The structure of the index is intended to allow regional accounting chambers (RIO) to control the process and prevent its progression. The authors indicate, however, that the main problem for local self-government units is insufficient own income, which forces them to increase the pool of funds transferred from the central budget to self-governments in the form of grants and subventions and to look for various forms of loans for their activities. Using the experience of the Scandinavian countries, the authors propose to start territorial and resource consolidation reforms of small local government units – municipalities and districts. The aim is to facilitate better use of endogenous resources of territorial self-government units and use of economies of scale related to local economy and social resources. This should result, as in Scandinavia, in the development of public entrepreneurship, higher social efficiency and effectiveness, and stabilisation of the income of individual units. After more than 20 years of operation, small local government units in Poland have become structurally and functionally obsolete and do not guarantee modern development of local communities.
