WASTE MANAGEMENT IN POLAND (2012–2013) – SPATIAL ANALYSIS

摘要

The condition of the waste management developmentis a complex phenomenon described by eight diagnosticvariables. The purpose of the paper is to indicate regional discrepancies?in the scope of shaping of the phenomenon in 2012?and 2013. To achieve the purpose, the multivariate analysis?was applied, with a particular focus on the zero unitarization?method. As a result of application of the aforementioned?methods, the ranking of voivodeships with respect to the level?of their waste management development was obtained. Further,?the voivodeships were divided into four groups: at a very?high, high, moderate, and low level of the waste management?development. The level of the waste management development?is not evenly distributed between given voivodeships.?There are signifi cant discrepancies within the investigated?area between the voivodeships leading in the ranking (Mazowieckie),?and the last voivodeship in the fourth group(?wi?tokrzyskie) – [I(Qi) ? 52.5 in 2013].
