“…O różnicach w kształtowaniu się zmian ludnościo-wych w układach konurbacyjnych w porównaniu z układami aglomeracyjnymi może świadczyć zestawienie zmian ludnościowych w trzech największych regionalnych systemach osadniczych usytuowanych w obrębie kraju morawsko-śląskiego (aglomeracja ostrawsko-karwińska) oraz województwa śląskiego (konurbacja katowicka, konurbacja rybnicka) - (Runge 2008). Analiza zmian ludnościowych dla lat 1865-2005 wskazuje, że pomimo podobnej genezy funkcjonalno--przestrzennej, procesy formowania się ośrodków miejskich przebiegały odmiennie (Runge 2008).…”

“…Analiza zmian ludnościowych dla lat 1865-2005 wskazuje, że pomimo podobnej genezy funkcjonalno--przestrzennej, procesy formowania się ośrodków miejskich przebiegały odmiennie (Runge 2008). W aglomeracyjnym zespole ostrawsko-karwińskim odnotowano proces stopniowego wzrostu znaczenia Ostrawy, przy praktycznie żadnej konkurencji ze strony innego ośrodka tego układu przestrzennego.…”

“…Ponad 35-procentowa koncentracja zaludnienia Rybnika zmniejsza się na rzecz Jastrzębia Zdroju, Wodzisławia Śląskiego, Knurowa, Żor. Przewaga Rybnika nad Jastrzębiem w koncentracji zaludnienia nie przekracza 10 punktów procentowych, zaś zbliżo-ne udziały pozostałych miast sprawiają, że mamy tu do czynienia z klasycznym przypadkiem policentrycznego i względnie stabilnego systemu osadniczego (Runge 2008).…”

Celem opracowania jest identyfikacja podstawowych problemów badawczych procesu modernizacji regionalnych systemów osadniczych. Punktem wyjścia rozważań autora są pojęcia modernizacji i regionalnego systemu osadniczego. Zwrócono uwagę na fakt traktowania modernizacji jako procesu przechodzenia z historycznie wcześniejszych, prostszych form organizacji życia społeczno-gospodarczego obszaru do form bardziej nowocześniejszych. Procesy i struktury ludnościowe wykazują zasadniczo słabszą inercyjność w porównaniu z procesami gospodarczymi („uwięzienie” lokalizacyjne), co może powodować zmniejszenie się kohezji (spójności przemian gospodarczo-społecznych) poprzez ujawnianie odmiennych zachowań.

“…From the viewpoint of city size, it seems that the large and smallest towns have been the most affected by the depopulation process in Poland (DŁUGOSZ & BIAŁY, 2015;KAMIŃSKA & MULARCZYK, 2014;CZARNECKI, 2011), and middle-size towns to a lesser extent (PANECKA-NIEPSUJ, 2013;RUNGE, 2011RUNGE, , 2016. In contrast, from the viewpoint of city function, it seems that post-industrial cities have been the most affected (DŁUGOSZ, 2017;LAMPRECHT, 2013;SPÓRNA & KURPANIK, 2013;RUNGE, 2008;KRZYSZTOFIK & SZMYTKIE, 2018). Obviously, Poland is not an exception among European postcommunist countries.…”

ORCID iD: Wioletta Szymańska: https://orcid.org/0000- 0001-8673-2074; Tomasz Michalski: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7916-9620 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A BS TR A CTThe article presents an attempt to analyse population changes and to measure the strength of the impact of factors causing these changes in former voivodeship (province) cities in Poland. In view of the ongoing processes of suburbanisation, the discussion also concerns the areas surrounding the city, i.e. those creating urban systems together with the city. These zones were delineated, calling them demographic influence zones, because only demographic factors were involved in defining them. The research was conducted in the period between1999-2015, and took into account the administrative reform of the country that degraded 31 cities from voivodeship (NUTS-2) capitals to poviat (LAU-1) cities. The main aim of the study was to find an answer to the question: do the directions and the strength of population changes confirm a hypothesis of the destructive impact of the loss of administrative function on settlement units. The results of the study only partially confirmed this hypothesis. Although a decrease in the population is overwhelmingly predominant in the city core, in the case of the demographic influence zone, it has already increased. Counting both parts together, it was found that in half of the cases there was a decline and in the other half a growth of the population.

“…A large number of traditional industrial regions in the world, including mining regions, make it difficult to present the process of their socioeconomic transformations in a model way (RUNGE, 2008). It is mostly dictated by differences in their economic and urban development, as well as in their political systems.…”

The Rybnik conurbation is an example of a traditional industrial area, where, due to economic restructuring, social and economic transformations are taking place. It is located in the Silesian voivodeship (southern Poland) and its development is mostly based on intensive coal mining after the Second World War. The article presents selected aspects of social and economic transformation happening in the area of the Rybnik conurbation after 1945 and connected with its rapid economic development in the 1960s and 70s, as well as with the systematic and economic transformation in Poland after 1989. The article was prepared on the base of subject literature, statistics and own studies. Population transformations have been analysed for the period 1980-2010, in each case, in relation to selected administrative units and three zones of the conurbation - the core, the inner and the outer areas. In order to evaluate and compare the demographic situation in the Rybnik conurbation in the years 1988 and 2008, a rank method has been applied. Community classification has been based on the total value of ranks for particular communities for the following variables: birth rate, population growth, net migration rate and the participation of the population in the pre-working and post-working age. The results of population transformation indicate that until 1991, the population of the Rybnik conurbation had been increasing (up to 197.7 thousand people). In the period 1991-2012, it decreased by 26.4 thousand (i.e. by 3.8%). In the same period of time, depopulation took place in the largest mining cities of the conurbation core (Wodzisław Śląski, 56.1%, connected with its administrative division into 4 towns and 1 rural community; Jastrzębie-Zdrój - 12.3%, Żory - 7.8% and Rybnik, to a lesser degree - 2.7%). The rank method that was applied has revealed the worsened demographic condition in the western communes of the conurbation (a shift from weak to bad). Simultaneously, in the period 1990-2012, the population gradually increased in the outer zone of the conurbation, by 6.8%. This indicates the process of suburbanisation taking place in the area. Demographic and economic changes in the Rybnik conurbation after 1989, in comparison to other mining areas in Poland and in Europe, seem to be less intensive.
