The exemplification of the discussion is the creation of rural tourism development in the village called Żulawki in Stegna commune. The village has landscape and natural values and a convenient spatial location. However, the authors wish to draw particular attention to the process of self-activation observed among the influx community for sustainable development of the village. It is possible owing to the emerging features of the potential of this community: mutual integration, commitment, problem solving orientation and access to resources. The subjectivity of the characterised community manifested itself in the ability to adapt and identify with the new place of residence and its problems, drive to articulate one's own vision of rural development, and activation of the environment for the implementation of established plans. The text is based on the results of a study conducted in 2015 by means of participatory observation techniques and free-form interviews with local activists.}, type={Text}, title={Potencjał społeczności lokalnych w rozwoju turystyki Żuławek = The Potential of Local Communities in Tourism Development in Żuławki}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/63458/PDF/WA51_83186_r2017-t46_SOW-Marks-Krzyszkows.pdf}, keywords={Żuławy Wiślane, village, potential of local community, tourism}, }
