Summary/Abstract: In the study functions of rural and urban-rural municipalities of Lower Silesia were analyzed. Research was made in the years: 1996, 2005 and 2010. Three criteria were used for the delimitation of municipalities: structure of economy, level of industrialization and degree of tourist developing. Taking into consideration tourist-landscape values with two other features led to the identification of eight types of municipalities with different opportunities for their multifunctional development. Studies on types of municipalities in 2010 were related to previously made typology of Lower Silesia based on data from 1996 and 2005. The use of the same features and criteria of classification allowed to continue research and estimation of changes occurring in rural area of Lower Silesia.
