terytorialna

Terytorialna is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective terytorialny, meaning related to territory or territorial. It is used to describe attributes, divisions, or policies that pertain to geographic areas or jurisdiction within a defined space. The term appears in official documents, academic texts, and media when discussing spatial organization or governance.

In usage, terytorialna modifies feminine nouns such as jednostka, administracja, polityka, granica, or obszar. Examples include administracja terytorialna (territorial administration), podział terytorialny kraju (territorial division of the country), polityka terytorialna (territorial policy), and granica terytorialna (territorial border). The concept encompasses how a country or region is organized across spatial units and how responsibilities and governance are distributed among them.

The notion is closely linked to administrative and geographic structures, including the organization of space into levels such as voivodeships, counties, and communes, and to planning and development efforts that consider local or regional differences. In Polish public administration and law, discussions of territorial aspects frequently use terytorialny or terytorialna to emphasize the spatial dimension of authority, resources, and policy implementation.

Related terms include terytorialny (masculine form) and TERYT, the national official register of the territorial division of the country, which standardizes classifications and identifiers for administrative units. See also: podział terytorialny, granica terytorialna, polityka terytorialna.
