This article aims to verify the hypothesis that creativity is an important factor for socio-economic development of Polish regions. The first part of the paper clarifies the idea of regional creativity, its factors and method of measurement. Following two parts present methodology and results of the research concerning creativity and development which uses multivariate comparative analysis. The next one examines relationship between these phenomena. The research revealed that there is strong correlation between the level of creativity and socio-economic development of regions in Poland. In addition, there are large disparities in the level of creativity of these regions. It may be one of the reasons for persistence and even deepening of interregional differences in the level and dynamics of socio-economic development of these regions in the future.

The economic activity main motive is striving for meet the needs. Numerous problems born because many of the needs are shaped without considering real possibilities of satisfying them, and instead of become the basis for the sustainable socio-economic development, contribute to the anti-effective imbalances. Despite the consumption growth, the level of satisfaction drops instead of increase, and frustrations as well as social and political conflicts are intensifying. Hence, is need the economy of moderation, and also describing its economics of moderation and New Pragmatism, that is based on the policy for growth and development strategy.

Dążenie do zaspokojenia potrzeb to główny motyw aktywności gospodarczej. Wiele problemów rodzi się stąd, że liczne potrzeby kształtowane są w oderwaniu od realnych możliwości ich zaspokajania i zamiast stawać się podstawą zrównoważonego rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego, przyczyniają się do antyefektywnościowej nierównowagi. Pomimo wzrostu konsumpcji spada, a nie zwiększa się stan satysfakcji, i narastają frustracje oraz konflikty społeczne i polityczne. Stąd też potrzebna jest gospodarka umiaru i opisująca ją ekonomia umiaru oraz Nowy Pragmatyzm, czyli opierające się na niej polityka wzrostu i strategia rozwoju.

This paper identifies the impact of socio-economic development on migrations in Poland. It analyses the influence the development exerts on population’s migrations within the country. In addition, counties were ranked by their socio-economic development on the basis of such criteria as: the average investment in enterprises in PLN per capita, the average number of newly registered business entities per 1,000 inhabitants, a percentage growth in the number of apartments in 2010 against 2005, a monthly gross salary against the national average salary 2005–2010 and the average unemployment rate, from 2005–2010. Averaged data for poviats (administrative region of the 2nd order) reported for 2005 to 2010 were used to eliminate any short-term fluctuations of the economic condition which could come as a result of large investment projects or bankruptcies of enterprises; these could have caused an abrupt rise in unemployment. In consequence, they could trigger a momentary swift in ratios, disfiguring the end result. Next, a typology of poviats followed based on their socio-economic advancement and here the results were confronted with the net population migration index calculated for the analysed period. The typologies closing the paper present the interdependencies of the socio-economic development and movement of people. It was proven that the socio-economic development and its advancement is a factor which influences migrations of population in Poland. A division between a more developed western part of the country and considerably less developed eastern part of the country is showing. Furthermore, the largest cities and their outskirts have the highest economic potential.

The article presents disparities in the socio-economic development of the Polish regions (voivodships). The analysis is carried out on the basis of four indicators: gross domestic product per capita, registered unemployment rate, average monthly gross wages and share of revenues in total revenues of local government units. The study confirms that Polish voivodship are characterized by a high degree of inequality in socio-economic development. In the years 2004–2015, regional disparities in Poland became stronger and the position of poorer regions has deteriorated. Two sets of economic divides are visible: gap between eastern and western Poland and the gap between Mazowieckie region and other regions.

The scope of Polish macro-economic data for assessing the level of socio-economic development of the country is largely limited because of the regional variation. Therefore there is a need for cyclic selection and the verification of criteria which allow identifying regions with a similar level of socio-economic development or those that clearly differ from the mean values. The aim of the study is to compare Poland’s provinces in terms of their socio-economic development, which helps identify the most similar regions as far as the adopted criteria are concerned.

The paper is a comparative analysis of health condition of EU-27 states that are differentiated with respect to demographic situation and the level of social and economic development with the use of methods of multidimensional comparative analysis. Relationships between macroeconomic values and health indices of EU populations were also studied with the use of demometric models. The study was performed for 2009. The most favourable health situation (in the light of diagnostic qualities adopted for the study) was observed in Cyprus, where the value of synthetic measure was almost 0.9. Cyprus is a relatively young country, with the lowest rate of mortality due to malicious tumours among all the countries of the European Community. Apart from Cyprus, Ireland was found in the first group (the lowest rate of people at 65+ years of age of all EU countries), Luxembourg (low rate of infant mortality) and Spain (relatively low mortality due to diseases of circulatory system). Definitely the worst health situation was observed in majority of the countries of the former Eastern bloc. On the grounds of the correlation diagram it was possible to conclude that, together with social and economic development of the country and resulting growth in expenditures on health protection per capita, mean life expectancy at birth significantly extended. However, these relations are not linear. Logarithmically constructed regression functions proved a strong and statistically significant impact of macroeconomic values on indices of population health condition.

Artykuł przedstawia zastosowanie nowego syntetycznego wskaźnika równowagi społeczno- ekonomicznej dla Polski, zwanego wskaźnikiem ALK, do analizy i prognozy rozwoju społeczno-ekonomicznego w Polsce w okresie 1999–2015. Wskaźnik ten został skonstruowany, ponieważ tradycyjne miary rozwoju gospodarczego, takie jak dynamika PKB, tempo infl acji, saldo budżetu państwa itp., są niewystarczające dla oceny i prognozowania sytuacji społeczno-ekonomicznej, określającej warunki życia społeczeństwa. Wskaźnik ALK obejmuje cztery grupy wskaźników: dwie opisujące sytuację ekonomiczną (wewnętrzną i zewnętrzną) oraz dwie zawierające oceny sytuacji społecznej (sytuacja aktualna i przewidywania). Wskaźniki te są łączone w cztery zbiorcze indeksy, które są następnie agregowane w ogólny wskaźnik ALK. Miarodajność wskazań tego wskaźnika potwierdza jego wysoka korelacja z nastrojami społecznymi odzwierciedlającymi ocenę sytuacji społeczno- ekonomicznej kraju i kondycję psychiczną społeczeństwa. Autorzy przedstawiają analizę dotychczasowego rozwoju społeczno-ekonomicznego Polski opartą na wskazaniach tego wskaźnika. Wyniki analizy, interpretowane w kategoriach zrównoważonego rozwoju społeczno-ekonomicznego, są podstawą wniosków formułowanych pod adresem polityki społeczno-ekonomicznej państwa.

The paper presents a new composite Balanced Development Index (BDI), named “ALK Indicator”, applied to analyse and predict socio-economic changes in Poland during 1999-2015 period. This is done because traditional measures of economic development, such as GDP growth, infl ation, state budget etc., are insuffi cient for assessing and forecasting socio-economic situation of the country, shaping the living conditions of the society. There are four groups of indicators entering the composite BDI: two economic (internal and external) and two social (current situations and predictions). They are used to construct four intermediate indexes, which are aggregated into the general BDI. The validity of that index is proven by its high correlation with confi dence indicators refl ecting the assessments of socio-economic situation in the country and psychological condition of the society. The authors present the analysis of the past socio-economic development in Poland, based on this composite index. The results are interpreted in terms of balanced socio-economic development as guidelines for socio-economic policy.

В статье представлен пример применения нового синтетического показателя социально- экономического равновесия Польши (показатель ALK) для анализа и прогноза социаль- но- экономического развития страны на период с 1999 по 2015 гг. Необходимость созда- ния такого показателя вытекала из того факта, что традиционные мерила экономического развития, такие как динамика ВВП, темпы инфляции, сальдо государственного бюджета и тому подобные, оказались недостаточными для оценки и прогнозирования социаль- но- экономического положения, определяющего условия жизни общества. Показатель ALK охватывает четыре группы показателей: две из них описывают экономическую ситуацию – внутреннюю и внешнюю, а оставшиеся две содержат оценки социального положения (текущее положение и прогнозы). Эти показатели объединяются в четыре совокупных индекса, которые затем подвергаются агрегации в общий показатель ALK. Достоверность этого показателя подтверждается его высокой корреляцией с настроени- ями в обществе, отражающими оценку социально- экономического положения страны и психологическое состояние общества. Авторы представляют анализ уже пройденного этапа социально- экономического развития Польши, опирающийся на показания этого показателя. Результаты анализа, интерпретируемые в категориях устойчивого социаль- но- экономического развития, являются основой для предложений, выдвигаемых по от- ношению к социально-экономической политике государства.

The paper presents selected theories of regional development. The first one is the concept of “top-down” development, according to which the region is understand as an “object” of development: the processes taking place in the region are the consequence of external conditions of development. Subsequently, selected “bottom-up” regional development theories, in which the leading role is attributed to the differentiated activities of the region which is the “subject”, not the “object”, of the development processes, are presented. Finally, the paper points out the references to regional development in the concepts of “new economic geography” and evolutionary economics, which show the complexity of modern regional development processes.

They can also prepare solutions or inspire to undertake activity to solve some problems. The main aim of the paper is to show the importance of local authorities in socio-economic development at the local level.

The main aim of the author was to analyse the population changes of small towns in Poland between 2002 and 2012. Small towns’ reaction to the global and regional demographic trends confirms their position between the rural areas and the urban municipalities. The differences between separate towns are significant, however those located within the metropolitan areas in Poland show a positive population dynamics, natural growth and migration balance net indexes. The image of small towns in terms of demographic changes is for that reason adequate to their socio-economic situation. However the question of the development of small satellite towns is asked as the functions are often leached to the core areas of the metropolis. The emerging problem of the depopulation of the vast majority of towns is also stressed in the paper. The depopulation types (in Webb typology) concern nearly 72% of all Polish small towns.

Within the EU cohesion policy, better and worse developed regions are subcategorised, taking account of the GDP value per capita. Based on that, areas qualifying for obtaining support from aid programs from the EU budget are established. The purpose of the article is an attempt at specifying the co-dependencies between the EU fund absorption and the changes in the level of the socio-economic development in the regional dimension. The research was conducted at the level of 73 NUTS-3 units in Poland in three stages. At the first one, the level of the development of the subregions in Poland is exhibited, subcategorising the factors of that development: human capital, material capital, natural environment as well as entrepreneurship and innovativeness. At the second stage, variation in the EU fund absorption in the researched units is presented. At the third stage, interdependencies between the extent of the absorption and the changes in the level of development within the arrangement of the factors of that development are taken up.

Celem artykułu jest określenie etapów rozwoju ruchu spółdzielczego oraz znaczenia spółdzielczości w rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym w Polsce. Ponadto przedstawiono spółdzielnie na tle gospodarki narodowej oraz aktualny stan liczby spółdzielni działających w Polsce w poszczególnych branżach gospodarki w latach 1989–2016. Rola i pozycja spółdzielczości w rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym znacznie się różniła na poszczególnych etapach rozwoju, co wynikało z odmiennych warunków funkcjonowania i polityki państwa. Spółdzielczość od początku powstania odgrywała ważną rolę w rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym. W latach 1947–1989 spółdzielnie odgrywały znaczącą rolę w gospodarce, co wynikało z polityki państwa. Po zmianie systemu gospodarowania pozycja spółdzielczości znacznie się zmniejszyła w zakresie udziału sektora spółdzielczego w gospodarce narodowej oraz liczby podmiotów spółdzielczych w tradycyjnych branżach. Pojawiły się natomiast nowe formy spółdzielcze takie jak spółdzielnie socjalne, grupy producentów rolnych, co świadczy o przydatności tej formy gospodarowania do rozwiązywania wielu problemów społecznych i gospodarczych. O pozycji spółdzielczości powinny decydować potrzeby polskiej gospodarki i polskiego społeczeństwa. Rozwijać powinny się formy spółdzielcze dostosowane do aktualnej sytuacji społeczno-gospodarczej Polski i warunków gospodarki rynkowej. Nie jest ważna pozycja w gospodarce narodowej, ale przede wszystkim wartości, którymi kierują się spółdzielnie, a które będą przynosić korzyści nie tylko ekonomiczne, ale i społeczne. Spółdzielczą formę gospodarowania opartą o wartości takie jak uczciwość, demokracja, troska o innych można wykorzystać jako instrument do rozwiązywania wielu problemów społeczno-gospodarczych. Jest to kierunek rozwoju spółdzielczości opartej o wartości.

The aim of the paper is to determine the stages of the development of the cooperative movement and the importance of cooperative activity in the socio-economic development in Poland. In addition, co-operatives are presented against the background of the national economy and the current state of a number of cooperatives operating in Poland, in particular sectors of economy in 1989–2016. The role and position of cooperatives in the socio-economic development was significantly different at particular stages, which resulted from different conditions of functioning and the state policy. From the beginning, the cooperative played an important role in socio-economic development. In the years 1947–1989, cooperatives played a significant role in the economy, which resulted from the state policy. After the change of the management system, the position of cooperatives decreased significantly in terms of the share of the cooperative sector in national economy and the number of cooperative entities in traditional industries. However, new cooperative forms appeared, such as social cooperatives, groups of agricultural producers, which proves the usefulness of this form of management for solving many social and economic problems. The position of cooperatives should be determined by the needs of the Polish economy and Polish society. Cooperative forms have adapted to the current socio-economic situation in Poland and market economy conditions. It is not a position in the national economy that matters, but above all, the values by which the cooperatives are lead, and which will bring not only economic, but also social benefits. A cooperative form of management based on values such as honesty, democracy and care for others can be used as an instrument to solve many socio-economic problems. This is the direction of the development of value-based cooperative movement.

The article concerns about conditions of development of a peculiar small towns – Guben (German) and Gubin (Polish). Their situation is interesting with reference to their border location, as well as peripheral and divided and because of the geopolitical context of globalization and European integration where they have to deal with it in a common way. The main objective of this article was to discover the differences and similarities of two border towns as a base for their future socio-economic development and co-operation due to the new political situation and end of barriers, both institutional and legal. Spatial analyses focused on two towns – Guben and Gubin, nowadays divided by a Polish-German border, that before World War II used to be one unit. The temporal extent of the article refers to the period of 1995–2012, but some historical background was also showed. The applied methods and data sources were based on Polish and German statis tics. The demographical and economic situation was analysed and showed a difficult and complex problems in both towns despite the fact that in details they differ from each other. Detailed analysis included: the population number, the births and deaths rates as well as migration balance. The economic and functional images of both towns are different and traffic at the border-crossing does not play a stimulant role. Due to the EU and Schengen Area enlargement in Guben and Gubin did not greatly stimulate the socio-economic situation. The representatives of both towns stated that common actions are a viable and the best solution to problems of both towns.
