Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the problems of Polish communal authorities’ social responsibility in the process of local development planning. At the beginning of the article the author defines the concept of the social responsibility of these authorities. Next the category of local development and its management process are discussed, followed by presenting the relations between local development strategic planning problems and the idea of social responsibility. The empirical part of the article includes the author’s research results in the form of examples illustrating incorrect activities undertaken by local authorities in the process of the preparation of development strategies, which may be considered as a failure of their social responsibility.
