Oceny Rządzenia Lokalnego Wśród Mieszkańców Obszarów Wiejskich W Polsce: Rola Postrzeganej Dostępności Transportowej I Przywiązania Do Miejsca

The article analyses the relationship between local governance assessment, perceived transport accessibility, and place attachment among rural residents in Poland. Based on survey data from rural municipalities and rural areas of urban–rural municipalities (n = 700), results show that transport accessibility and place attachment are positively associated with governance evaluations. Transport is the strongest predictor, while place attachment has a weaker independent effect. Including place attachment reduces but does not eliminate the transport–governance link. No significant differences were found between residents of rural municipalities and rural areas of urban–rural municipalities.
