“…This also refers to various areas in Poland. Skowronek et al [38] analysed changes in the rural landscape by studying two villages in mideastern Poland from the time they were founded up to now. Changes in the landscape of metropolitan areas in the period from 1950 to 1990 were studied by Solon [39].…”

“…The concentration of urban population and depopulation in rural areas has resulted in ageing in depopulated areas and lack of social infrastructure systems in urban areas (Imanishi, 2003;Mann, 2005). Because depopulation is primarily driven by the out-migration of young and bright adults (Stockdale, 2006), the process of depopulation shaped the characteristic picture of the age structure of donor communities, dominated by the elderly (Skowronek et al, 2005). Usually, the viability of small rural communities becomes a major concern (Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, 2006).…”

<p>Modernization of Chinese society witnessed significant retreat of primary and growth of secondary and tertiary industries. The result of rapid urbanization has been accompanied with rapid rural depopulation, context of which is currently labeled by intertwining of many correlation factors. Rural depopulation can be perceived as a social problem and as a reason or other social problems, affecting sustainable socio-economic development. In turn, rural depopulation and relevant policy-making are also interplaying, making the issue more irreversible.<strong></strong></p>

Abstract. Space planning and development play an ancillary role in relation to settlement and its geography. Residential areas were evolving over the centuries changing their shape as well as architectural forms. Observing the tendencies of the last decades, there is more scattered housing that occurs in landscapes of Polish country, which is also reflected in national spatial politics, in established planning documents, however, it does not always result from real demographic needs. Already existing buildings are less and less adapted for habitation. Together with progressive housing scattering, rural areas' functions change as well. So the question arisesis multifunctional development of rural areas the reason of decline of their agricultural function? As well asis building concentration connected with the level of development of particular settlement units? The paper is aimed at comparing the housing concentration coefficients of the chosen settlement units and then confronting them with the calculated synthetic metha-indicators that determine the socio-economic development level. The analysis of building concentration of settlement units was performed by means of the concentration coefficient on the plane. To determine the level of socio-economic development (metha-feature), the spatial taxonomy method was used on the basis of selected diagnostic features. Cross-compliance of a qualitative nature of socioeconomic development compared to building concentration indexes was determined by means of the Pearson correlation coefficient on the basis of the Guilford's classification. Analyzing the geographic phenomenon of building concentration, mathematical and statistical methods and also a monographic method of the subject literature analysis were used. The methods of spatial taxonomy as well as the method of ranking by a synthetic feature were used to survey the socio-economic development phenomenon. The researches were performed in selected rural communes from the area of Małopolska province in Southern Poland.
