Abstract
The research aims to identify the factors that can significantly affect the creation and development of economic activity zones set up in recent years in many Polish communes as an alternative to special investment zones centrally created by the state. The research was conducted in 2020–2022 in an interpretational mode with the application of a qualitative approach, i.e., with the use of quality detailed research (CATI and CAWI structured interviews). The research sample included 15 representatives of local self-governments who run such zones and 45 entrepreneurs investing in these zones. Apart from that, there were 5 individual in-depth interviews with representatives of self-governments. The study identified social and economic challenges that led to the development of municipal economic activity zones and related factors. The key objectives and circumstances concerning the establishment of the zones have been identified.
