Infrastructure Expenditures versus Local Budget Resistance of Communes under the Risk of Urban Sprawl

Piotr Lityński



Abstract

The subject of the study is to identify the impact on communes budgets in Poland of one of the major costs of urban sprawl (i.e., excessive expenditure on infrastructure). The study takes two objectives: first, whether excessive infrastructure costs in Polish communes are common; second, what the mechanism is determining an excessive budgetary burden on communes through infrastructure expenditures. The objectives were made using taxonomic methods in relation to the 222 communes in Poland 2007–2014. Among the most important conclusions from the study is the fact, that excessive infrastructure expenditures are observed in Poland, but they are not a common phenomenon. The mechanism of an excessive budgetary burden of these expenses is determined by the weakness of the financial policy of the communes in terms of their own revenue and low level of economic development.
