ABSTRACT
This paper presents certain aspects connected with the use of physical and geographic
regionalization at the level of the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship in Poland. The aspects are important
from the point of view of landscape management. Regionalization focuses on unique (one-off) features
that distinguish particular regions from one another. The selection of criteria as well as the research
procedure applied prove the universal nature of the results obtained. Detailed characteristics of particular
units allow for comprehensive analysis of environmental conditions in shaping human activity and the
implementation thereof into future strategic and programme documents related to spatial and economic
planning on regional and local scales.
