Abstract:

The article addresses the issue of residential multilocality, focusing on the relationship between living in more than one place and attachment to place and engagement with local issues. The article presents a theoretical framework for capturing multilocality as a dynamic process of living in several places and as an alternative to migration and daily mobility. It sought to answer the question of how ‘polygamy of place’ and temporary presence or absence of multilocal residents affect attachment to place of residence and levels of community engagement. The analysis is based on selected results of a 2023 survey of 996 people living a multilocal lifestyle in the Mazovian Voivodeship. Conclusions indicate that the practice of multilocality does not exclude a strong attachment to one or several places of residence, but that differentiated ties to particular places are built, often linked to the function they perform. High mobility and limited time resources have a negative impact on engagement with the local area. The article concludes by reflecting on the need to expand the research to include the perspective of multi-local residents, as the lack of statistical data on multi-locals and their low involvement in local affairs makes them doubly invisible to local authorities.
