Summary/Abstract: The authors present a typology of Polish poviats (counties) from the point of view of the development of the information society on the basis of data from the years 2011 and 2012. Obtained results allowed to conclude that the poviats located in the northern and south-eastern parts of the region were characterized by a low level of development of the information society. Spatial autocorrelation was poor; proximity to urban districts for the county does not always contribute to the development of the information society in its territory.
