Summary/Abstract: Revitalization of degraded areas is a multifaceted socio-economic process, in which the main contractors (under the Act on regeneration) have become municipal governments. While municipality cope with the infrastructure aspect of the revitalization as far as the resources are available and allow for that, a serious problem in their operation is to stimulate the activity of inhabitants of revitalized areas as a basis for social revitalization. The aim of this article is to review the available social mobilization tools to municipalities and to examine, on the example of the selected local community in the district of Zduńska Wola (Lodzkie Voivodship), which of them are used and how they are used.
