Procesy i warunki kształtowania struktur rynku regionalnego

Abstract

The article discusses theoretical questions related to a spatial structure of market in a regional scale. In the author's intentions the formation mechanism of hierarchical structural market arrangements has to be presented with all factors affecting trends and intensiveness of exchange processes in a spatial approach. The author's reasoning is founded on the assumption that a spatial structure of a market and relevant spheres of market influence corresponding to it as well as market limits of specific metropolitan districts are a resultant of a spatial distribution of population purchases in the whole examined area. Consequently mach attention was devoted to characterizing main causalities affecting location of purchases of individual consummers. An attempt at final ordering of the applied division of regional market with regard to a rank and a range of centers was one of the main tasks of the present article. The following were distinguished: regional markets, local markets and micromarkets i.e. community markets, as elements of the model market structure. The whole study is presented against the bacground of the present administrative division of the state and in a close relation to it.
