Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate changes in the induced potential of the population and the income of the communes of the Opolskie Voivodeship in the year 2018 in comparison to the year 2000. The analysis made it possible to present the relationship between the ratio of the commune’s own potential to induced potential and the influence of its surroundings (neighboring communes) on creating potential. In this way, the study determined the directions of the effect of spatial objects on the creation of categories of potential examined in the study. Statistical spatial analysis tools used in work included the spatial autocorrelation coefficient and the related global Moran’s index, as well as Local Indicators for Spatial Association (LISA). The study also used the surface trend of the distribution of potential categories: population and income, and estimated its parameters and verified it statistically. Spatial analysis also revealed spatial diversity of the communes of the Opolskie Voivodeship in terms of the induced potential of the population and income. Another finding was the invariance of the ratio of own potential to induced potential as well as spatial distribution of the categories. The most important conclusions that can be drawn from the analyses determine the influence that the communes exert on their surroundings. Regional studies on the NUTS 5/ LAU2 level constitute an important part of local analyses. The application of the potential theory, combined with tools of spatial statistics, offers a new perspective on the idea of the potential of the commune as a territorial unit. The study provides the basis for further regional analyses and may contribute to analyses of the development of local functional areas or growth poles in voivodeships. This article uses the physical potential theory in regional spatial research on the commune level in the Opolskie voivodeship. In addition, the analysis was enhanced by the use of spatial statistical analysis tools. The application of the physical potential theory in conjunction with the tools of spatial econometric analysis served to examine the role of the commune’s surroundings in generating population potential and income potential.
