Abstract

Urban migrants, both those deciding to settle permanently in the countryside and those temporarily visiting as second-home owners, represent a significant social, cultural, and economic potential that can positively impact rural life in its broadest sense. Harnessing this potential primarily depends on intensive contacts between these migrants and rural residents. The aim of this study was to identify the impact of urban migrants on rural communities and spaces, with particular emphasis on the opinions expressed by permanent rural residents. The study was conducted in 18 villages across various regions of the country (9 voivodeships). The first stage involved assessing the status of the studied units. The second stage involved surveys addressed to permanent rural residents and urban migrants (363 questionnaires), while the third stage involved in-depth interviews with 30 representatives of the local community and 33 urban migrants. The obtained research material enabled a discussion of the characteristics of urban migrants identified by rural residents, the intensity and location of contact between both groups, the main topics of conversation, and the directions of transferred knowledge and information. The obtained results became the basis for a discussion referring to research presented in the European literature.
