Summary:

The paper presents the results of research concerning the relationship be-tween the value of entrepreneurship indicator and the distance of spatial units from the economic centres. The entrepreneurship indicator was determined by stating a number of economic entities registered in the REGON system per 10 thous. of people of working age. The distances of spatial units from the eco-nomic units were expressed as the shortest road distances. A statistically signifi-cant dependency was found between the value of entrepreneurship indicator and the distance from the economic centre. An increase in the distance by 1km causes a decrease in the number of economic entities by 47 per 10 thous. of people.
