SPATIAL CONCENTRATION OF AGRICULTURAL TRACTORS IN RELATIONTO AGRICULTURAL LAND IN 2010 AND 2016

Abstract

Coefficient of Lorenz was used to perform spatial analysis of the concentration number of agriculturaltractors (depending on their engine power) depending on arable lands, in 2010 and 2016. The mosteven distribution was found for a group of tractors with an engine power of 40-100 kW (the value ofthe coefficient in 2016 was 0.13). On the other hand, tractors with an engine power below 40 kW werecharacterized by a higher concentration. It was the strongest in the group of tractors below 15 kW (thevalue of the coefficient in 2016 was 0.54). In both analyzed years, the largest concentration occurred inthe Małopolskie voivodeship. The group of tractors with the power above 100 kW (K = 0.28) showed asignificantly smaller concentration in 2016, when the largest concentration occurred in the Dolnośląskieand Opolskie voivodeships.
