(project SONATA)

The study has a theoretical, cognitive and applicative character. A theoretical goal is related primarily to description and carrying out a spatial typology of agricultural farms, taking into consideration the dominant model of knowledge transfer. The cognitive task is going to be encapsulated at every stage of the project. In addition, along with development of models the conditions of their effectiveness will be established.

The proposed research topic should, on one hand, contribute to bringing to light important details concerning spatial differentiation of issues related to the level of knowledge and accessibility to sources of information on the part of the one of most significant professional groups, from a point of view of a whole economy. The obtained research findings will undoubtedly bring a considerable amount of detailed information as regards spatial (territorial) conditions for creation and transfer or dissemination of knowledge in Polish agriculture. The conducted research study should also contribute to enriching the scientific literature by investigating the role of distance in the process of creation and transfer of knowledge. That issue, this being at present the subject of much heated debates in geographical and economical literature, seems to be of particular importance in rural areas in the light of dynamic development of information society in Poland.
