Meanwhile, there is an increasing need to create and transform common places in rural territories. To assess the importance of revitalization and the tourist potential of public space from the perspective of individuals responsible for spatial planning in the municipalities of Tarnów poviat. An online survey questionnaire sent to the offices of 16 rural and urban-rural municipalities of the Tarnów poviat, as well as interviews with representatives of offices responsible for spatial planning and promotion of the municipality. The municipalities of the Tarnów poviat are attractive from a tourism perspective, and both residents and tourists are eager to utilize the available elements of public space. Local authorities recognize the significance of public space in the lives of residents and in the promotion of the municipality, and their development plans often include revitalization and the creation of new communal spaces.
