Abstract

The aim of the article is to assess the costs and benefits of enterprises situated in urban sprawl areas in Poland. The main hypothesis is that urban sprawl is beneficial for the businesses located within the urban sprawl area. The synthetic control method used is based on the results of surveys and financial data provided by the Central Statistical Office in Poland for the enterprises located within the urban sprawl area. The object of the research is therefore the finances of those enterprises that are based around the largest Polish cities. The main hypothesis was positively verified. The results of the investigation indicate that lower wage costs are not more significant compared to those of the economic entities in the control group. The benefits for enterprises located in the urban sprawl zone were also diagnosed, including lower burdens resulted from real-estate taxes, energy, foreign services. The added value of the research is also the indication of the financial mechanism of benefits from the location of business entities in the urban sprawl zone. This mechanism is based on the reduction of spatial costs, more efficient use of fixed assets and more intensive use of production factors.

商业城市扩张。波兰企业财务评价

本文的目的是评估波兰城市扩张地区企业的成本和收益。主要假设是城市扩张有利于位于城市扩张区内的企业。所使用的综合控制方法是根据波兰中央统计局为位于城市蔓延区内的企业提供的调查结果和财务数据。因此，研究的对象是那些位于波兰最大城市周围的企业的财务状况。主要假设得到了肯定的验证。调查结果表明，与对照组的经济实体相比，较低的工资成本并不显著。此外，还分析了城市扩张区内企业的房地产税、能源、对外服务等负担减轻的好处。研究的增加值也反映了城市扩张区商业实体区位效益的金融机制。这一机制的基础是空间成本的降低、固定资产的高效利用和生产要素的集约利用。

期刊介绍： Journal of Settlements and Spatial Planning (JSSP) is a biannual, peer-reviewed, open access journal, edited by the Centre for Research on Settlements and Urbanism, Faculty of Geography, Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, ROMANIA. For the unrestricted access to potential subscribers all over the world the journal is published in English language and can be accessed electronically. The Journal of Settlements and Spatial Planning addresses mainly to geographers, young researchers and also to other specialists in adjacent fields of research that focus their attention on aspects related to settlements and spatial planning. On the other hand, it strongly encourages representatives of the public administration, who are responsible with the practical implementation of planning projects, to bring their contribution to the scientific field. Our journal seeks to publish original theoretical and applied research studies on a large range of subjects addressed to urban and rural settlements and spatial planning, as well as precise issues related to both of them. We welcome scholars to bring their contribution (original articles in basic and applied research, case studies) and increase interdisciplinary research on settlements and their spatial impact.
