The article deals with the phenomenon of a new type of settlement in the Polish countryside, which is described as an alternative settlement. It is the phenomenon of more than 25-year long history of town dwellers moving to live in villages. Their system of values is linked to notions connected with ecology. The contact between two, greatly different culture groups - urban intelligentsia with counter-culture roots and native peasant population, results in a variety of interesting relations, including the adoption of peasant values and attitudes as well as their adaptation to the new settlers' own values. The article describes these peasant rules and attitudes that have been accepted by the settlers as valuable and that find application in their life. This, in turn, becomes a reason for considerations concerning similarities between the ecological philosophy and novel ideas of the peasant movement of the interwar period i.e. agrarianism.

This article constitutes a continuation of the authoress' earlier paper titled Peasant systems of values as an inspiration for Polish alternative communities ( Wies i Rolnictwo No.3(2006)). The article describes social activity of the rural areas' new settlers. The starting point for a reflection on the character of activities pursued by associations formed by persons who have recently settled in rural areas and the ability of such associations to formulate proposals suiting the needs of local communities is the description of cultural preferences of the inhabitants of villages and small towns who are the addressees of social ventures undertaken by new settlers. Initiatives launched by new settlers form only a part of the social-educational activity that is being developed in rural areas. However, these initiatives have become an object of interest of researchers investigating the phenomenon of migration from urban areas to rural areas. This phenomenon is being examined from various angles, also in the context of development of a new class of rural intelligentsia. The authoress tries to establish whether the arrival of new well educated settlers will actually help shape a different image of rural areas.
