SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT A LOCAL LEVEL. CASE STUDY: THE ELBLĄG DISTRICT
Journal Title: INTERCATHEDRA - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 36
Abstract
Sustainable local and regional development is associated with a number of factors. At local and regional level, local authorities have important tasks to cope with. They establish local policies and regulations, maintain the infrastructure, support bottom-up initiatives, cooperate with one another and are responsible for implementing the economic, social and environmental policy in order to improve the quality of life of local communities. The district of Elbląg is a part of the Warmińsko-Mazurskie voivodeship and includes 9 municipalities (6 rural and 3 urban-rural municipalities). The Elbląg district cooperates very closely with the city of Elbląg and the Braniewo district. While the region exhibits high natural and cultural values, it is affected by some economic problems (a relatively high unemployment rate, low average income per capita, insufficient basic infrastructure etc.). The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of selected local-level sustainability indicators for the Elbląg district (based on statistical data provided by the Central Statistical Office) and to compare the results with the goals set out in the development strategy for the Elbląg district. The analysis also involves using the Perkal method to classify the municipalities by local development level based on selected sustainability indicators.
