SOCIO-ECONOMIC INDICATORS IN LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING: EFFICIENCY OF DIAGNOSTIC APPROACHES IN RURAL REVITALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify and compare the approaches to selecting socio-economic indicators used in the process of delimitation degraded areas by rural municipalities of the Nowy Sącz County in their Municipal Revitalization Programs (GPR). Planning documents of all rural municipalities in Nowy Sącz County which had developed GPR were analysed. The study applied both qualitative and quantitative analyses, including cluster analysis using the k-means method, which enabled the identification of approaches used in the diagnosis and delimitation of the degraded areas. The study identified significant variation among municipalities in terms of socio-economic diagnosis. The results indicate the need to standardise the approach to delimitation and to strengthen institutional support, particularly in ensuring access to data necessary for conducting reliable diagnoses. The article fills a research gap in the analysis of diagnostic approaches used in revitalization documents of rural communes, considering their practical use in the process of delimiting the degraded areas. It draws attention to the differences in the quality of diagnoses and difficulties related to limited access to data. The study offers practical value by emphasising the need to define the minimum standards of diagnosis and a wider use of qualitative data.
