The gravitational effect and the spatial diversification of the competitiveness of the communes of the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship

Abstract

The value of the synthetic measure (according to the model-free method) in 2008 was in the range from 0.30 to 0.57, and in 2015 from 0.30 to 0.59, respectively. The measure of competitiveness is based on the distance in real space with the Euclidean metric being within the range from 0.52 to 0.79 and in 2015 from 0.51 to 0.78. Kielce, Busko-Zdrój, Morawica and Sitkówka-Nowiny were very high.
