Summary/Abstract: Sustainable and environmentally-friendly tourism can provide stable foundations for the development of rural areas with poor transportation links, poorly-developed tourist infrastructure, insufficient marketing and promotion and no integrated tourist products. Forms of land use associated with the natural values of the tourist space and of those creating potential for development of tourist infrastructure account for approx. 40% of the area of the Kozłowo commune. There are few forests in the rural areas of the commune and it has no outstanding tourist value, but the vicinity of other attractive areas of Warmia and Mazury, as well as the presence of Lakes Kownatka and Szkotowskie can help it to develop its own tourist infrastructure. The development of tourism in the commune requires adopting relevant planning assumptions and a sustainable development programme, taking into account the close association of rural area development with the natural environment. In effect, such actions should contribute to social development and its stimulation in the rural ares of the commune.
