Abstract
Artykuł jest poświęcony analizie rozmiaru administracji na poziomie lokalnym. Na podstawie analizy literatury wytypowano 10 zmiennych, które opisują rozmiar administracji na poziomie lokalnym. Zmienne te posłużyły do stworzenia syntetycznego wskaźnika w oparciu o metody taksonomiczne (metoda Hellwiga). Wyniki dla roku 2013, w układzie wojewódzkim, pokazały duże zróżnicowanie pomiędzy badanymi jednostkami. Dane do badania pozyskano z Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego.(abstrakt oryginalny)

This paper is dedicated to analysing the size of local administration. On the basis of literature study, ten variables that define size of local administration were chosen, out of these variables two synthetic measures were created. The sizes of local administration at the level of voivodships were calculated for 2013. The research results show a big differentiation among the analysed units in Poland. Data were sourced from the Polish Main Statistical Office (GUS). Taxonomic methods were used in the analysis - synthetic measures were constructed on the basis of the Hellwig method.(original abstract)
