In the paper, the authors have presented the results of the survey conducted on the households of the Lublin province. The number of the households that have been studied totals 624. On the basis of the data that was obtained, it could conclude the Polish rural areas have considerable potential for growth. The sense of rooted ness, which is the point of departure of the local development, is fairly strong among the peasants. Vast majority of the people living in the country expresses the will to take action in order to improve the standard of living, and is inclined to devote a great deal of their free time to achieve it. It seems that education of the local leaders is the necessary element in the construction of civil society. The survey shows that the inhabitants of the rural areas would want to solve their problems together and upgrade the life standard, yet they virtually do not know how to do it and how to begin. They need leaders who would show them the direction of action, and who would make them realise, that a great deal can be achieved together.
