Gentryfikacja wsi: próba określenia przestrzennego zasięgu zjawiska
Rural Gentrification: An Attempt at Defining the Spatial Extent of the Phenomenon

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to indicate the hypothetical spatial extent of the process of rural gentrification. To this end, using the extended case method, the author elaborates on the rural gentrification index that has been developed by describing demographic, social, economic, and spatial changes. This approach made it possible to identify areas where the phenomenon in question is the most active. It turns out that the potential range of gentrification in Poland mainly includes counties located near large cities – especially those located in central, northern, western and, south-western parts of Poland – which could be described with the English-language term as city’s countryside.
