Summary/Abstract: The working paper presents the analysis of sub-territorial unit in Poland from the utilitarian point of view. It also includes potential perspectives for such form of social participation in local society. The core idea consists of sub-territorial units in communities and municipalities due to the provisions of the law. The analysis excludes the sub-territorial units in Warsaw – capital city of Republic of Poland because of their unique status provided by the dedicated law. Besides that, the working paper includes the question about the problem of the local communities’ activity and participation in the public sphere.
