Polarization of Rural Settlements in the Lubelskie Voivodship as a Result of Population Changes

Monika Wesołowska



Abstract

Rural settlements, as a basic element of space, are dynamic structures subject to changes due to various factors determining the conditions of their development and functional transformations. Certain directions of changes occurring in rural areas are characteristic of each historical period. They are particularly evident in demographic and socio-cultural processes, in rural economies, and living conditions of residents. This article analyses population changes in rural areas of the Lubelskie Voivodship in the years 1950–2011. Strong polarization of settlements was observed. Considering the current trends, the author constructed two forecasts (short- and long-term) of transformations in the structure of rural settlements.

Keywords:

Lubelskie Voivodship, population forecast, changes in the rural settlement network
