Criteria of administrative division of the state from the point of view of a regional structure
Abstract
In the near future important changes in the administrative division of Poland will be implemented.
Such a step is reasonable only when it brings about advantages which would otherwise be
unavailable or hard to achieve.
The structure of territorial division of the state should consist of socio-economic key regions
arranged hierarchically. Such units should be of key character and they should have a distinct
center of a given rank. Furthermore, they should have a high degree of density of population as
well as of social, economic and cultural integration. Besides, they should be characterized
by a considerable level of self-organization and they should have strong internal territorial links.
Besides, each regional division should meet the criteria of adequacy and separation.
The elements of such regional structure should be: (1) communes (gminy), as basic units
of the regional structure of the state and basic territorial units of the socio-economic links of local
character; (2) districts (powiaty), as sub-regional units consisting of communities, strongly linked
with the sub-regional center; (3) regions (województwa), as the conglomeration of provinces, strongly
linked with the regional centre.
Any discussion on the number of units of the territorial division of the state has little sense
before the appropriate research has been carried out. The territorial division should be accompanied
by a clear determination of powers vested in particular units and by a considerable decentralization
of the state powers (including the shifting of some central institutions to the regional
level).
The change of the territorial division of the state must be done simultaneously and in one
stage, i.e., districts and regions (larger than they are today) must be created at the same time. It is
a difficult and demanding task; therefore, it should be carefully prepared and its results should
last for several decades.
