Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the degree of social and economic
development of  poviatsin the duo-region Pomerania composed of two seaside
voivodships: West Pomeranian and Pomeranian. The  methods  used  include  descriptive  statistics  and  multidimensional
comparative analysis (the measure of aggregation and cluster analysis).
The results of the ranking obtained by applying two different taxonomic
methods were not the same. The varied results of the ranking and evaluation
of poviats prove the need for an in-depth analysis in order to find the objective
causes of this situation.
The presented  methods could be applied to plan and  monitor regional
strategy with regard to sustainable development.
