 abstract={Since 1999, the set of 16 voivodeships in Poland has not changed (despite constant criticism of the administrative reform of that time). Among the results of this situation is the development of the excluded areas, often concentrated around cities of regional importance and (theoretically) with similar potential to the smallest voivodeships’ capitals. The aim of this article is to identify how the current administrative division into voivodeships is perceived by those who do not have the opportunity to compare it with the division in force before the last reform – young people from secondary schools. The survey was carried out in ten cities: six centres which, according to various concepts, can become the capitals of new voivodeships in the future (Częstochowa, Kalisz, Koszalin, Płock, Radom, Słupsk) and four capitals with a potential similar to these cities (Gorzów Wielkopolski, Kielce, Toruń, Zielona Góra). The results show that young people from non-voivodeship cities more often than their peers from voivodeship cities choose the administrative function as the most important for a regional capital. In turn, students from schools in voivodeship capitals more strongly emphasize the need for the capital to also perform cultural, educational and religious functions. Moreover, a relationship was identified between the city's general provision of services and the opinion of young people – the more facilities and services there were in a given centre, the more often it was marked in surveys as a "regional capital". However, the occurrence of the so-called "inferiority complex" towards the voivodeship capitals’ inhabitants and the relationship between the city's provision of specific types of facilities and the functions that, according to young people, the regional capital should perform, were not confirmed.},
