Abstract

An analysis of centres of non-agricultural work attracting most of the labour surplus from the rural environment is the starting point for research on correlations between the countryside and the town. Proportional relations of the active population evidence a close connection of commutation with the existence and directions of communication lines. The main problem of the study is to determine zones of influence of separate urban and industrial centres, zones of criss-crossing commutation and of isolated zones where absence of commutation is a proof of their being beyond the reach of influence of urban industrial centres. A detailed analysis of commutation on the ground of statistical material and field investigations supplies a soud basis for the regionalization of the Cracov voivodeship.
