Abstract
Socio-Economic Effects of the Spatial Chaos for the Settlement Systems and Functional Land Use Structure. The aim of the study is an attempt to estimate, on the basis
of literature and own analyzes, how costs are related to spatial chaos, i.e. mainly dispersion of
settlement. Mainly residential (housing) settlement was addressed, which contributes the most to
the defective structure of the entire settlement. In particular, the analysis uses several concentration
indicators and graphical methods, including the so-called minimal spanning tree (MST). Analyzes
have shown that costs can amount to several dozen billion zlotys a year, resulting due to the
lack of utilities, unsatisfactory condition of public infrastructure, morphological and functional
chaos, excessive location of buildings in agricultural areas, oversupply of investment land with
low location potential and as a result of low economic efficiency and effectiveness of settlement.
