W pracy podjęto rozważania dotyczące zmian w rozmieszczeniu przestrzennym i udziału dużych wsi w sieci osadniczej Polski od końca XIX w. do lat 20. XXI w. W analizie uwzględniono siedem momentów czasowych, w których odbywały się spisy ludności i dla których dostępne są dane na poziomie miejscowości, tj. lata około 1900, 1921/1925, 1970, 1988, 2002, 2011, 2021. Przedmiotem pracy są duże wsie, które w roku spisowym charakteryzowały się liczbą ludności równą lub wyższą 2000 osób. Procedura badawcza obejmuje analizę zmian rozkładu przestrzennego dużych wsi w układzie obecnych województw oraz analizę zmiany liczby i udziału liczby ludności mieszkającej w dużych wsiach względem ludności miejskiej i ludności ogółem. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na przyrost liczby dużych wsi od końca XIX w. do początku XXI w. z około 420 do nieco ponad 900 oraz liczby ludności w nich mieszkających z nieco ponad 1,5 mln do blisko 3 mln osób. W rozkładzie przestrzennym wyraźna koncentracja tego typu jednostek osadniczych występowała i występuje w południowej Polsce (województwa śląskie, małopolskie, podkarpackie), a największy przyrost liczby dużych wsi i ich mieszkańców zaobserwowano w regionach z największymi aglomeracjami miejskimi (mazowieckie, wielkopolskie, pomorskie).

his paper analyses the population censuses on the Polish area, particularly, the subject of censuses and their thematic scope. the study refers to the censuses in the 19th and 20th centuries (the study closes with the 1988 census). The paper consists of three parts. The first one presents the origins of censuses and the first censuses conducted in Europe in the 18th century. This part also shows the efforts of international statistical institutions to normalise and standardise national censuses. It allowed for building international standards to make national censuses comparable. The second part shows censuses in the 19th century, and the third part discusses censuses in the 20th century. A fundamental feature of the censuses is a set of questions common to demographic and social issues. This makes it possible to carry out comparative analysis in different regional cross-sectionson a secular basis. It should also be provided that census categories are not always comparable, hence various conversions and estimates are necessary. The universality of the censuses have made them a huge organizational challenge each time. The greatest effort was borne by the statistical institutions responsible, not only for conducting the censuses, but also during the compilation and publication of the data.

The birth of the Polish official statistics, commonly associated with the establishment of Statistics Poland on 13 July 1918, was possible thanks to the ideas and grassroots work of various scholars, including statisticians, who thus demonstrated their faithfulness to the resolutions of the Four-Year Sejm (Parliament) and the Constitution of 3 May 1791. Statisticians from Kraków, who established Poland’s first statistical society (the Polish Statistical Society) and authored a study entitled Statistics of Poland, Kraków (1915), edited by Adam Krzyżanowski and Kazimierz Kumaniecki, deserve a special recognition in this paper. In the two consecutive years, 1916 and 1917, Kraków saw the publication of two important works, namely Geographical and Statistical Atlas of Poland, Kraków (1916), edited by Eugeniusz Romer and Ignacy Weinfeld, and the Yearbook of Poland. Statistical Tables, Kraków (1917). But scientists from other parts of Poland contributed to the process of laying the foundations for the Polish official statistics as well. Statisticians from Warsaw compiled three volumes of Statistical Yearbooks of the Kingdom of Poland edited by Władysław Grabski, and the work entitled Statistical Yearbook of the Kingdom of Poland and other Polish lands. The Year 1915 under the editorship of Edward Strasburger was published in 1916 in Sankt Petersburg. Around the same period, Polish scientists associated with the University of Lviv expanded the scope of their scientific activity. After regaining independence, the process of establishing the system of official statistics in Poland, at that time carried out already within the framework of Statistic Poland, continued developing dynamically thanks to the scientific input of several dozen Polish statisticians.
