Summary:
The article presents the application of the spatial autocorrelation analysis in evaluation of regional differentiation of Polish environment. The study is based on the chosen data for the sixteen provinces from the year 2005 and 2010. In order to estimate the level of environmental degradation and protection of the environment WAP methods were applied. On the basis of the synthetic measure, developed during the study, a ranking of regions was constructed. Additionally, the analyses were broadened by the use of spatial autocorrelation statistics which enabled to reveal the existing spatial relations.
