The main aim of the paper is to show the selected ways of analysing, the possible interpretations and expectations concerning the analyses of hyperlinks in spatial research. The connections existing in cyberspace for selected self-government websites of Lower Silesia were shown to illustrate the issue. The analyses were conducted for selected websites of self-government units at all levels functioning in Lower Silesia. The paper presents two approaches to the analysis of hyperlinks: analysis of outlinks and inlinks. The presented results allow us to identify some regularities regarding the functioning of connections in cyberspace versus the connections in the real world. From the perspective of self-government websites it can be concluded that the connections in cyberspace reflect the real connections. In the majority of the analysed cases there is a clear connection with the actual scope of activity. The remaining relationships with administrative cities reflect the significance of these cities for the functioning of self-government units in the social, economic, legal, and administrative conditions. Based on the conducted analyses it can be concluded that the study of hyperlinks may be useful in understanding the relationships between geographical space and cyberspace. They may form a new, interesting field of spatial research. We also found some challenges in the study of hyperlinks' spatial aspects: the identification of consistent criteria for determining the websites' ‘location in space’, the possibility of interpreting the research results and the dynamics of the Internet.

Celem opracowania jest ustalenie, czy funkcjonujące w cyberprzestrzeni relacje odzwierciedlają granice obszarów w przestrzeni geograficznej. Ma w tym pomóc analiza powiązań pomiędzy serwisami WWW samorządów lokalnych a „miejscami”, do których można dotrzeć przy pomocy zamieszczonych na stronach hiperlinków. Obejmuje ona 29 serwisów powiatów leżących na Dolnym Śląsku. Okazuje się, że w przypadku jednostek samorządowych szczebla lokalnego istnieje wyraźny związek między połączeniami w cyberprzestrzeni z terytorium rzeczywistego działania. Co istotne, w wirtualnej przestrzeni, tak jak w fizycznej, dominuje główny funkcjonalny węzeł, czyli stolica kraju.

The purpose of this paper is to determine whether connections within cyberspace are in any way related to borders in the geographical sense. The author assesses the connections between the websites of local authorities and destinations that can be reached by hyperlinks. He analyzes 29 counties in Lower Silesia and shows that the activity of local self-government units in cyberspace covers their real-life territory. On the whole, it can be said that connections existing in cyberspace largely reflect actual borders. However, the main functional node dominating cyberspace is the country’s capital city.
