Abstract

The paper deals with the results of an analysis of the spatial structure of agriculture in Poland which was aimed at assessing the impact of the historical factor. The territory of present-day Poland includes the political borders of the 19th and 20th centuries which divided the area into two parts: western (Kingdom of Prussia and the land belonging to Poland and Germany in the interwar period) and eastern (the land of the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire which later belonged to Poland in the interwar period). The historical factor and its impact were examined also in the comparative analysis of two adjoining stretches of land accepted as territorial units (East Poland and West Poland). We showed that historical borders constitute an important element affecting the evolution of the spatial structure of Polish agriculture. The impact of the historical factor was shown to be the strongest for the differences in the features associated with agrarian structure, rural socio-demography, and productivity and profitability of agricultural holdings.

前政治边界及其对波兰农业现今空间结构演变的影响

本文对波兰农业的空间结构进行了分析，旨在评估历史因素的影响。今天的波兰领土包括19世纪和20世纪的政治边界，将该地区分为两部分：西部（普鲁士王国和两次世界大战期间属于波兰和德国的土地）和东部（俄罗斯帝国和奥匈帝国的土地，后来在两次世界战争期间属于波兰）。在对被视为领土单位的两片相邻土地（东波兰和西波兰）的比较分析中，也考察了历史因素及其影响。我们表明，历史边界是影响波兰农业空间结构演变的重要因素。与农业结构、农村社会人口结构、农业生产力和盈利能力相关的特征差异表明，历史因素的影响最强。
