Przemiany użytkowania ziemi w centralnej części Krakowa – byłej dzielnicy katastralnej Śródmieście w latach 1992–2012
Changes in Land Use in Cracow’s City Centre, 1992–2012

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to evaluate land use changes taking place under the influence of the processes resulting from the implementation of market economy principles in the years 1992–2012 in Central Cracow. The research covered both the entire central district and the urban blocks that belong to that area. For greater inference accuracy, the analysis was conducted according to land use categories (the first grade accuracy of land use division) as well as the groups (the second grade division) together with the forms of land use (the third grade division). The research revealed an increase in metropolitan processes manifested by growth in the actual service area devoted in the city to culture, education and tourism, which have a particularly international reach. These three areas have for many years played a leading role in Cracow’s spatial and socio-economic development.
