Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate various components of sustainable development (social, spatial-environmental, economic) in urban gminas (administrative region of the 3rd order in Poland) of the Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodship (administrative region of the 1st order in Poland). The results were used to rank the analyzed gminas in terms of their sustainable development levels. The analysis was performed with the use of Hellwig’s composite measure of development. The results were used to determine the overall value of the composite measure, calculated as the median of composite measures for each of the three components of sustainable development. The above approach was used to rank gminas in view of their sustainable development levels.
