Statystyczna analiza przestrzennego zróżnicowania sytuacji mieszkaniowej w Polsce

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the housing situation in Poland by province in terms of housing stock and its quality. The analysis was conducted in the context of the socio-economic situation of provinces and in terms of the financial capacity to meet households’ housing needs. Two sets of variables was isolated during the research. First one characterizes the sociodemographic situation of provinces, the second one describes the dwellings’ stock and their equipment. In the research was also taken into account the value of the composite statistic of dwelling conditions and the households’ financial condition across province. Subsets of provinces were distinguished by means of Ward's method and subjected to comparative analysis. The fit of spatial determinants of socio-demographic, financial character and the housing situation was reviewed. The analysis was complemented by an attempt at econometric modelling of phenomena characterizing the housing situation in selected regions.
