Summary/Abstract: The authors determined chosen measures and indicators of partial assessment of the spatial policy of the studied suburban municipalities, which allowed to synthetically evaluate the policy. In particular, the conceptual and administrative aspects of shaping tourist space were addressed. In the context of the presented analyses, a number of significant conclusions were drawn, proving a significant diversity in the directions and character of the municipalities spatial policy with respect to creating conditions for tourism and recreation development. The observations illustrate that significant changes are taking place in managing space and area resources, in the dynamic aspect, in the local government units. They also prove diversified interest of suburban municipalities in the development of tourist and recreational functions and of their management and pro-investment initiative in this respect. The current tendencies in spatial transformations observed in the analysed municipalities point at their different character both in organizational and substantial aspects in comparison with the previous periods of ‘local spatial self-governance’.
