Level of natural conditions of the location rent of rural areas in Poland

摘要

The aim of the study was to classify rural areas in Poland according to natural conditions of the location rent. The level of natural conditions was determined by the synthetic indicator, based on simple indicators (forest cover, quality and agricultural usefulness of land, attractiveness resulting from natural conditions, position to sea and lakes). Calculations were based on Central Statistical Office data, Institute of Soil and Plant Cultivation data and information from “Catalogue of Polish lakes” [Choiński 2006].
