Abstract

The first goal of the study is to outline the current state of knowledge on functional-spatial transformations of complex settlement systems, especially those existing in traditional socio-economic regions. The second task is to propose a few model approaches (circular models of economic transformations and urbanization). The author’s starting point is an attempt to model the origin and evolution of the economic base as a crucial element of the remaining changes in the socio-economic space. A model of economic changes and urbanization are complementary to each other, reflecting both the centripetal and centrifugal forces conditioning transformation of the entire settlement system.

Keywords:

complex settlement system, circular model of economic changes and urbanization, economic base, centripetal and centrifugal forces, Silesian Voivodeship
