Next to heat and energy production, geothermal energy presents with opportunities for rural and suburban areas linking sustainable development goals with expansion of new local economy sectors. We conduct the shift share analysis for the ten municipality cases of the geothermal exploitation in Poland, comparing their employment structure with their reference poviat as a control group, in the years 2005 and 2018. The results reveal a strong shift in the trade and service sectors employment in all of examined geothermal localities, outperforming the reference poviats. In the tested period, more jobs were generated in the geothermal municipalities than in poviats too. Moreover, the structure of the differential shift component indicates that the trade and services employment growth is related with the development of the geothermal spas and recreational centers in the examined municipalities. The hypothesis that the geothermal resources utilization increases the employment in the local services sectors is corroborated.

地热资源对当地就业的贡献：波兰案例研究

除了热能和能源生产之外，地热能还为农村和郊区提供了机遇，将可持续发展目标与当地新经济部门的扩张联系起来。我们对波兰地热开发的十个城市案例进行了转移份额分析，将其就业结构与其作为对照组的参考 Poviat 在 2005 年和 2018 年进行了比较。结果揭示了贸易和服务部门的强烈转变所有受检查的地热地点的就业情况均优于参考地点。在测试期间，地热城市创造的就业机会也多于波维亚茨。此外，差异转移成分的结构表明，贸易和服务业就业增长与所研究城市的地热温泉和娱乐中心的发展有关。地热资源利用增加当地服务业就业的假设得到了证实。
