Ladies and Gentleman, I’m pleased to introduce to you the proceedings from the 18th International Scientific Conference devoted to the ‘Social and Economic Development and Regional Policy’ in the European Union, that especially focused on the vulnerable post-industrial regions in the central European countries (incl. the Ustecky region). The ideological purpose of the conference reflects the strategic document: ‘Regional challenges in the perspective of 2020’, which calls attention to substantial global based challenges within European regions. According to this strategy, the regions of the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary belong to highly vulnerable European regions that are dealing with multiple challenges (especially those of globalization and energy security matter). Therefore, looking for methods as to how to turn global changes into higher competitiveness and innovation potential, as well as better environment and higher quality of life for the Central Europe regions, these were the central focuses for conference participants. To tackle the previously mentioned challenges of post-industrial regions, the conference participants concentrated on regional policy and its effectiveness, environmental consequences of regional development, social opportunities and risks, and local economy and regional competitiveness. Special attention was devoted to young researchers and their scientific skills. Therefore one workshop was led by a GeoScape Journal editor-in-chief, and another workshop aimed at introducing experience with international scientific projects, both were an important part of the conference. We are fortunate to have been able to use the conference as an opportunity to circulate research results among young and senior researchers in the international academic environment of the Central European region. Also, to share each other’s experience regarding the specific regional problems of the post-industrial society and about its adaptation to global changes, and to search ways as to how to increase the competitive power of post-industrial society in the European environment. I’m looking forward to seeing you in June, 2020!

Wroclaw University of Economics, Poland Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present and evaluate the relationship between the location of entities providing business services (the business service firms) and investment expenditures of municipalities and enterprises, as well as enterprise development in Lower Silesian Voivodship, and to indicate the determinants of these depend- encies. Lower Silesian Voivodship is one of the leading regions in Poland in terms of socio-economic development, on the other hand it is an area characterised by significant spatial development disproportions. Apart from the areas with a high rate of growth and social and economic development, we can observe areas (some of them of post-industrial character) which are characterised by slow overcoming of development deficiencies or even over-coming stagnation. The analysis was carried out at the level of counties (LAU 1, formerly NUTS 4). During this study quantitative methods were used, including synthetic measures of development and correlation, descriptive method and graphical method. Key words: business services, investment, post-industrial economy, territory, location 1. Introduction contributing to the polarisation is also the unequal access to the business service firms. The activation of the region through the development of The approach to the analysis of the diversity of the entrepreneurship and investment expenditures of socio-economic space of the region, as well as to the municipalities and enterprises are the basis for very essence of the space, is currently changing.

The regional space is identified as a territory in which relations between the factors determining the specific relations take place and the society living development and the spatial polarisation of this there identifies itself with it.
