The objective of the study presented in the article is to determine the spatial diversification and determinantsof construction activity in Poland between 2006 and 2015. Theoretical hypotheses and observations of behaviour ofeconomic entities clearly show that their decisions depend both on the situation in local and regional markets, as wellas distances from other regions or local markets. The number and the surface area of completed residential units, as wellas the number of completed buildings and issued construction permits, were adopted as the measures of constructionactivity. The analysis also includes selected demographic, social and economic indices characterising the individualterritorial units in Poland on the basis of the local data bank maintained by the Central Statistical Office. In the courseof the study, spatial panel models were used, and as a result of the study, construction activity models were obtained,taking spatial interactions into account.
