Abstract
The aim of the following research is to establish the relationship between the spatial dimension of the inner migration in Poland using a local perspective (communes) and to confront it with economic activity in years 1993-2000. The analysis is based on the cumulative process model of growth in the intraregional structure. Spatial characteristic, as well as the interdependency of the coefficients illustrating migration movements and economic activity, have been also discussed in the paper. And, as the analysis proved, economic conditions (entrepreneurship development, household income) play definitely vital role in rural and urban-rural units. The observed increasing importance of the role of economic factors here followed the transformation in Polish economy. .
