Level Of Development Of Bioeconomy In Poland According To The Regional Approach - Measurement Trial

The aim of the study was to create a synthetic measure of bioeconomy development and based on it determination of the level of its development in Poland within the local sphere/realm. The sources come from the Local Data Bank of the Central Statistical Bank from 2009-2013. Based on the information obtained, the assortment of diagnostic variables using statistical criteria and subsequently the comparative analysis of them in the relevant period of time. Formulation of the measure for estimation of the synthetic level of the bioeconomic development was accomplished by Z. Hellwig’s taxonomic measure of development. Taking into consideration the availability and completeness of the data that were obtained to account for the diagnostic variables of the level of development, it was possible solely with regards to the period of 2011-2012. The research results indicate that there is a possibility of building a synthetic measure of bioeconomy development, but taking into account the quality of data gathered in the Central Statistical Bank, this measurement was to roughly estimate the results without determining the financial effects of the activity conducted within this area. The synthetic meter that has been created, allowed to measure and classify the effects according to the provinces of Poland. The highest level of the bioeconomic development in 2011-2012 was attained in the Pomeranian voivodeship, by contrast in Opole Voivodeship, Silesia Voivodeship and Łódź Voivodeship the level of bioeconomic development was the lowest. The research conducted has shown that there exist some substantial discriminating features that contribute to bioeconomic development in the particular provinces. A detectable diversification of these discriminants indicates that there is a possibility of formulating the bioeconomic development strategies on the basis of an individual major regional specialization.
