Abstract

In socio-economic geography any regional settlement system makes one of its major
factors of development. It is towns that play a specific role in this system, the meaning of which can
be approached from different perspectives. This paper focuses on the hierarchies and relationships
between towns in the Province of Lubuskie seen from the spatial point of view. The volume and sequence rule of Zipf ’s law as well as the gravitation model have been used as the statistical tools. The
data valid as in 2015 were accounted for in the analysis. Results from the empirical studies show that
despite a similar urban density in Lubuskie Province and generally across Poland, the town system in the
region is visibly specific. Apart from two largest cities playing a regional and cross-regional function,
i.e. Zielona Góra and Gorzów Wlkp., the issue of how small and middle-sized towns function in the
province comes to the fore.
