A COMPARISON OF THE METHODS OF RELATIVE TAXONOMY FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTIES IN WIELKOPOLSKIE VOIVODESHIP

The study analyses the possibility to measure the scale of disproportion in the development of the synthetic feature between spatial objects over a period of time on the basis of relativised values of diagnostic features. The study also proposes the construction of taxonomically relative indices of development according to the approach based on spatial median and it compares this approach with the classic approach proposed by Wydymus (2013). Both approaches are illustrated with a numerical example referring to the economic infrastructure in rural areas of the counties in Wielkopolskie Voivodeship.
