There are 49 voivodships in Poland, which are specified by odd numbers ranging from 01-97 (a convention of the Polish Central Statistical Office).
The 49 voivodships have been aggregated by the Polish statistical office into eight regions (makroregion), which reflect historical, cultural, and geographical distinctions within Polish society.
Codes 1-4 are arbitrary as are codes 5-8 (originally they designated places in alphabetical order within voivodships and administrative status types, but the ordering has broken down as locales changed status).

In the very center of Zamosc is a wonderful central square which is 100 meters on a side, and has heavy white arcades all the way around, with old merchants' homes painted bright colors along the upper floors.
We left Zamosc the next morning feeling great after a relaxing night of walking and talking, and then sleep at the Hotel Senator, a very nice and quite economical hotel in the Old Town.
At breakfast, we were amused by a German speaking couple who showed very little tact in the breakfast room, causing the one woman who was trying to attend the breakfast buffet while also trying to hold down the Front Desk no end of trouble, and being just plain rude to her really.

 voivodship
A Voivodship (Romanian: Voievodat, Polish: Województwo, Serbian: Vojvodstvo or Vojvodina) was a feudal state in medieval Romania, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Serbia (see Vojvodina), ruled by a Voivod.
Since the Voivod was initially the military commander next to the ruler, a voivodship meant the whole territory of Poland.
During the feudal partition, each from small prinicpalities had its own voivod, and therefore after the reunification the territory was called a voivodship.

The financial instruments are managed through separate companies in each voivodship and separate operational partners are used to deliver other parts of the programme.

This similarity between business support centres and the MDP does not, however, mean competition: the MDP’s focus is on the main urban centres of Bialystok and Lublin; its services more complex and with bigger clients than business support centres who operate in peripheral areas with smaller clients and delivering standardised services.

Migration propensity of a province is measured by the migration balance of a province * 100 divided by the number of inhabitants of the province (thousands).
In the short run, such a development might be viewed by some as positive; but development theory suggests that in the long run such instabilities are quite destabilizing.
