The author performed a comparative analysis of objective structure of production services for agriculture with respect to provinces of Poland. The research was supplemented by a spatial analysis of the level of availability of services. The taxonomic division gave seven groups of objects. Provinces belonging to a given group are characterized by a similar structure of services. It turns out that the division correlates with the arrangement of provinces with respect to the availability of services. It means that changes in the level of availability which take place in a given object usually cause the changes in the objective structure of services. In such a case the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative ones can be observed. Both the structure arrangement of provinces as well as the arrangement with respect to availability of services level show considerable spatial differentiations. They are caused by the existence of regional differences as to methods of farming, technical equippment of agriculture, ownership and area structures and the state of labour force resources. The article also contains the analysis of the dynamics of spread of the availability of services scale in a spatial arrangement. The spread of the availability of services scale grows in years 1976 -1980 and slowly diminishes in years 1981 - -1984. In the West, North and South of Poland the level of availability of services is considerably higher than in the provinces of central, eastern and north-eastern parts of the country.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
