Inequality in saturation and spatial diversification of rural areas in respect of farm technical infrastructure development causes specific difficulties in planning the development of individual region in the scale of the whole country and in the scale of single provinces. The diversification, at the same strategies of development for the whole regions and macroregions, may cause even more differences in regional development. Presented estimation of technical infrastructure of farms will help launching a proper strategy of development for individual regions in order to equalize chances. A problem of communes' classification due to many features and indices which may describe the level of infrastructural saturation is a typical problem of multivariate comparative analysis. At this point a notion of taxonomic structure should be mentioned as a configuration of points of multidimensional space which is a set of objects characterized by means of various attributes. Finally, after initial verification of informative values of attributes, 13 indices describing technical infrastructure on farms were selected for analysis from the available set of diagnostic attributes.The assessment was made basing on a synthetic measurement of development which is an aggregate diagnostic attribute. Assuming in the conducted research that αj = 1, i.e. ...
The human potential of an agricultural holding is increasingly treated as a capital allowing a competitive advantage. Its development takes place at the same time as the development of technical equipment and technical progress. The size of livestock herd, technical equipment, labour resources and actual workforce needs of organic holdings were determined. It allowed for calculation of the index of utilization of labour resources. The obtained results indicate a low level of human potential utilization, which amounted to average 40% and remained within the range from 29% for the holdings with the smallest area 58% for the facilities with the largest area. A statistical analysis confirms the significant relationship between the utilization of labour resources and the number of able-bodied persons, workload, machine stock replacement value and livestock size. ...
