Moreover, the author strives to determine relations between the socio-demographic potential and entrepreneurships. Research included all the counties in Poland (rural areas) – 314 counties have been studied. The socio-demographic potential was expressed by a Perkal’s index, while an entrepreneurship indicator was used in order to present the level of entrepreneurship. The analysis revealed that the present level of entrepreneurship and socio-demographic potential in the rural areas of Poland arises from the influence of multiple factors and show high spatial diversity resulting from the general social and economic development of these areas. Furthermore, the research showed that high socio-demographic potential and high level of entrepreneurship characterise spatial units located in the neighbourhood of the biggest urban centres, along the main routes and those with well-developed tourist functions.}, type={Text}, title={Potencjał społeczno-demograficzny a poziom przedsiębiorczości na obszarach wiejskich Polski = Socio-demographic potential and level of entrepreneurship in the rural areas of Poland}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/64587/PDF/WA51_83977_r2017-t47_SOW-Kopacz.pdf}, keywords={socio-demographic potential, entrepreneurship, rural areas}, }
