Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the work was to identify public spaces occurring in rural areas of the Greater Poland voivodeship and to determine their specificity by identifying the manner and state of their development. The research material was the results of the inventory carried out in 2014-2018 in five communes: Drawsko, Jarocin, Kaczory, Komorniki and Zaniemyśl. The assessment of the state of the identified types of space showed the occurrence of large differences both between communes and the types of shared places studied. In the general assessment of the state of development of common spaces, the Komorniki commune was the best, the lowest marks were given to shared places in the Jarocin commune. Attention is drawn to the high repetition of very good grades for places such as: school playground, rural club room. It was proposed to separate the sports field as a separate type of new rural public space. In rural areas, more and more often you can find facilities usually associated with amenities available only to urban residents.
