Abstract

The article analyzes the functioning and development of the communal economy in towns of Sieradz Administrative Province during the period 1976-1985. The activity of communal economy is largely dependent upon a model of settlement network, development of infrastructure, and organizational system of administrative and economic units. Ihe analysis performed by the authors points at major fluctuations in organizational solutions both of structural and detailed character. The present model is of a mixed character, because there can be seen both a tendency towards branch concentration and territorial concentration. The presented stastical data confirm a process of gradual equalization of disproportions existing in development of communal facilities in towns and degree to which needs are satisfied. There exist, however, significant disharmonies and differentiations, and it should be a primary concern of the local and provincial authorities to eliminate them.
