Summary:The objective of the study is the analysis of the relations between the distribution of non-financial resources of health care protection at a regional level (voivodeships) and the state of health of the female and male population. The study refers, therefore, to a geographical concept, and the potential access to health service benefits. The following research hypotheses were formulated: (H1) non-financial resources are unevenly distributed among the regions; (H2) access to the health care services affects the state of health of females and males; (H3) there are time delays between the observed levels of accessibility and the state of health of the population. Relying on the Perkal method and on the analysis of the correlation between classes of accessibility of services and the state of health of females and males, described by the expected life span at the age of 30, 45 and 60, the truth of the postulated hypotheses was proved.Keywords: access to health care services, the Perkal method, regional diversity.Streszczenie: Celem badania jest analiza związku pomiędzy rozmieszczeniem niefinansowych zasobów ochrony zdrowia na poziomie regionalnym (województwa) a stanem zdrowia populacji. Badanie nawiązuje do potencjalnego dostępu do świadczeń. Postawiono następujące hipotezy badawcze: (H1) niefinansowe zasoby ochrony zdrowia są redystrybuowane nierównomiernie pomiędzy regionami; (H2) dostęp do świadczeń wpływa na stan zdrowia kobiet i mężczyzn; (H3) występuje pewne opóźnienie czasowe pomiędzy obserwowanym wskaźnikiem dostępności a stanem zdrowia populacji. Bazując na metodzie Perkala i analizie korelacji pomiędzy klaasami dostępności i stanem zdrowia populacji kobiet i mężczyzn, opisanym dalszą oczekiwaną długością życia w wieku 30, 45 i 60 lat, potwierdzono skonstruowane hipotezy badawcze.Słowa kluczowe: dostępność usług zdrowotnych, metoda Perkala, regionalne zróżnicowanie.

Human resources are the major input in health systems. Therefore, their equitable distribution remains critical in making progress towards the goal of sustainable development. The purpose of this study is to evaluate equity in the distribution of healthcare human resources across regions of Poland from 2010 to 2017. This research by applying specifically to Polish conditions will allow the existing gap in the literature to be closed. Data were derived from the Database of Statistics Poland, and the Lorenz Curve/Gini coefficient was engaged as well as the Theil index to measure the extent and drivers of inequality in the distribution of healthcare human resources in macro-regions. Population size along with crude death rates are employed as proxies for healthcare need/demand. This research has several major findings. Mainly, it was found, that the geographical distribution of all types of human resources is less equitable than is the case with population distribution. Relatively lower equity in the access to oncologists, family doctors, and cardiologists was found. There are some noticeable differences between macro-regions in the equity level of healthcare human resources distribution. This research provides various implications for policy and practice and will allow for improved planning and more efficient use of these resources.

“…The PI method allows one to determine the size of the unit on the basis of the features examined, allowing to arrange them, as well as to investigate the proportionality of the studied phenomenon. It was used in many works on regional development, including (Bem, Ucieklak-Jeż, Siedlecki, 2016), (Malkowska, 2015), (Namyślak, 2007) and (Perło 2014). In this study, the method allows to create a ranking of transnational cooperation programmes in terms of selected observations and to group them.…”

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to denote the most intensive cooperation among transnational cooperation programmes in the programming period 2007-2013. Design/Methodology/Approach: To measure the intense of transnational cooperation the authors have used two taxonomic methods that are: Perkal's Indicator and Taxonomic Measure of Development. Findings: The study indicates that the programme 'Azores-Madeira-Canary-Islands (Macronesia)' is characterised with the most intensive cooperation. The factors of cooperation determined through the study are mainly a longrun cooperation that have started long before the EU structures evolved and a low number of countries cooperating within the programme. Practical Implications: The paper shows factors determining the intensity of cooperation and points the EU regions where the cooperation is the most intensive. It may be a prerequisite for further studies on the regions distinguished through the study and the structures, and relationships that determine successful transnational cooperation in. Originality/Value: Publications concerning transnational cooperation are not numerous in scientific literature. Most of the existing ones are prepared by European Commission and the analysis are based mainly on methods involving a survey. Due to the lack of analysis based on other methods and the lack of holistic view on the matter, the paper will contribute to the development of literature.
