Summary/Abstract: The issue of proper public area development, so often discussed in the urban context, is hardly ever studied in the rural areas. However, local communities, more and more often need well-designed common areas. Projects for these areas are also supported within the framework of EU funds. This paper outlines problems in rural public areas and presents the method of proper rural public space development. The subject is presented on the basis of the example of three villages in the commune of Uścimów, in the West Polesie region. The detailed analyses include the social functioning of the identified public areas, their state of development and landscape values. As a result of the analyses, the main directions of selected public area development were identified, which could form the basis of the future communal plan development.
