Summary/Abstract: The present-day internal migration of people from larger or smaller towns to the countryside is characterized by suburbanization tendencies that considerably trans- form the socio-cultural and spatial structure of suburban municipalities. The aim of this paper is to present, based on the ethnological research conducted in 2018 - 2019, selected socio-cultural aspects of present-day suburban migration with a view to the impacts of suburbanization on the social and cultural environment in the municipality / village of Soblahov. The paper looks specifically at the inside of suburban communities, the daily-life reality of the suburban actors and on the manifestations of suburbanization - the social and cultural aspects, as well as the time and spatial manifestations of suburban migration.
