Registers conducted byadministrative information systems are a potential source of information on the number,structure and spatial distribution of entities of the national economy. The most important roleamong them plays the Country Official Register of Units of the National Economy - REGON(KRUPGN REGON) conducted by Central Statistical Office.The analysis of the REGON register is seriously hindered by its overrepresentativeness.Lack of detailed information on the scale of the phenomenon causes problems with interpretationof the obtained results. The basic purpose of conducted research was to verify the completenessof the register of economic entities its up-to-dateness from the point of view of informationthat describe these entities (status, location, number of persons employed). Moreover, it waschecked whether the observed differences between the statistical and the real number ofentities display any generic regularities (in PKD section) or spatial ones. This was obtainedthrough the questionnaire survey of all the existing economic entities and comparison of thegathered data with the REGON register. Due to the scale of the research the analysis wasconducted on the example of a medium-sized town (urban commune of Milicz) in 2006-2007.The analysis has shown a variety of significant differences concerning the number ofentities of the national economy as well as their size and type. It also allowed to define generalcharacteristic features of spatial distribution the real signs of economic activity in the urbanspace. Although the conducted analysis concerned the relatively small settlement unit, itseems that the results obtained form the pattern that is reflected on the national scale.}, journal={Przedsiębiorczość - Edukacja}, author={Raczyk, Andrzej}, year={2009}, month={sty.}, pages={133–146} }
