This study covered the area of four different communes (pol. gmina) in Mazowieckie voivodship (pol. województwo): Boguty, Cegłów, Dębe Wielkie and Zaręby Kościelne. The analysis concerned data on soil conditions, their scope, detail and usefulness for the purposes of drafting local studies of conditions and directions of spatial planning and of local development plans. The criteria which determine the scope and detail of soil conditions data in the studies of conditions and directions of spatial planning and in local development plans were established. With respect to the scope, it was assumed that the required minimum for the purposes of proper terrain management are the following: the type of land use, valuation class, type, soil type and grade, as well as the agricultural suitability complex. With respect to the detail, it was established that soil condition data should be applied in studies with an accuracy that corresponds to a scale of 1:25,000 and in local development plans to a scale of 1:5,000.
