Abstract:

The article attempts to use taxonomic methods to analyze Polish regions' diversity in terms of transport development. The article aims to answer the question of what is the degree of diversification of transport development in Poland by voivodeships. The research object was sixteen voivodeships in Poland. The analysis was carried out only for the data from 2018 from the quantitative data available in the sources of the Central Statistical Office (GUS). The linear ordering method was used based on the taxonomic measure of development (TMR) according to Hellwig's concept, which allowed distinguishing the ranking of the development transportation level. A modern state functions properly when transport is developed at a high level. The analysis result is the presentation of the spatial differentiation of transport development in individual voivodeships in terms of the adopted measures.
