Abstract

The phenomena of suburbanization are listed in Poland since the midnineties of XXth century. Their indicators are demographic changes in the structure of resident population and spatial changes in rural areas. Intense divisions of agricultural property for building purposes resulted in significant changes to landscape values of non-urban areas, mainly in the vicinity of major urban centers. In this article were presented the main data relating to demographic changes and changes in the structure of owning and transformation of using grounds, caused by suburbanization processes. There were given practical examples, from the district of Bialystok, in the north - east end of Poland.
