Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of research on selected aspects of the development of Vlach settlement confronted with the effects of the previous geographic and historical studies on this topic. The study addresses the origin and direction of migration of Vlach people in Southern, and Central and Eastern Europe, especially in Poland. This serves as a backdrop for a discussion of results of the author's comparative studies based on the collected source material. Also discussed are the issues of the distinguishing factors of Vlach law, as well as the methodological problems in identifying villages founded according to this law in Sanok region in Medieval and modern times. The paper also analyses the spatial distribution and chronological sequence of the formation of Vlach villages in the context of ownership relations and the physiographic diversity of the area of research.
