Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyse the level of implementation of sustainable development in the subregions of the five voivodeships of Eastern Poland. The author uses basic tools for the monitoring of this concept of development, i.e. indicators of sustainable development grouped according to social, economic, and environmental areas. The result is the creation of a ranked list of the subregions of Eastern Poland in 2013, along with the ranking lists of subregions in specific areas of sustainable development. The analysis has both a quantitative and qualitative aspect. To conduct the study, data for NTS3 level from the Local Data Bank, a database of the Central Statistical Office of Poland for the year 2013 were used. Out of the total number of 97 indicators, 34 were selected as relevant. Because of the multi-criteria nature of the research, in order to perform the linear ordering of the subregions of Eastern Poland in terms of the chosen indicators, the Hellwig method was used. The paper also contains an analysis of selected indicators affecting the subregions' positions on the ranked list.
