Selected methodological aspects of multidimensional analyses of regional space

The substantial research potential of already existing procedures, their development and proposing of new alternatives, as well as practical usability of taxonomic methods result in practically infinite possibilities in terms of their application in multidimensional analyses of regional space. They may play a significant part in the description, assessment and forecasting of development of individual regions. Having the knowledge, skills and competences, nowadays researchers are able to take advantage of guidance available in literature of the subject and the improving computer software. Nevertheless, due to lack of versatile solutions, every study has to be approached individually, making well thought-out decisions, often arbitrarily. The aim of this paper is to systematize certain methodological dilemma with regard to multidimensional analyses of regional space. The scientific discussion conducted makes it possible to answer questions of who and what is the subject of research of this type and to determine the characteristics of the most frequently undertaken research tasks.
