The aim of this paper is to the presentation of methods in assessment of the overall condition of the rural environment in each subdivision, which took into account the following components: • overall on the environment by permanent residents, measured as population density in rural areas, • preservation of vegetation in the form similar to the natural, measured as the percentage of forest cover, • diversity of land use, expressed as a ratio, the calculation of which take into account the share of arable land, meadows, pastures, orchards, forests and other (including water reservoirs), • surface of subsequent types of protected areas, • burden of soil, groundwater and landscape waste, calculated as the diff erence between potentially household waste generated and collected in an organized manner, per unit area, • environmental burden from municipal wastewater, expressed as the number of inhabitants, not supported by a canalisation per unit area, • state of atmospheric air, measured as the concentration (immision) of sulfur dioxide according to estimates of the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme. In order to evaluate the overall assessment, the individual components are standardized on a scale from 0.00 to 10.00, and then averaged. Environmental assessment of several selected rural communities in Poland in the years 1996-2011 is presented to illustrate the method’s
