Powiązania przestrzenne, społeczne i ekonomiczne w regionie łódzkim. Rejon Poddębice-Turek

Abstract

The field survey was done in summer 1996; it concerned the local society’s acceptance of the new administrative division of Poland. The local society was very interested in our work and very enthusiastic to answer the questionnaire. The following conclusions were reached as a result: 1. More than half of the respondents wish to change the existing administrative division. 30% are opposed to any changes and the reminder have no opinion about changes. 2. More than 40% of the total population is in favour of the system of a three-tier administrative system, and about 20% prefer the system of a two-tier administrative system. 3. More than 70% of all respondents chose the option to belong to the Łódź voivodship. 4. The key factors which respondents enumerated as advantages for their local centre to receive the status of „powiat” were: - identification with their own locality; - good accessibility by public transport; - existing good service infrastructure.
