Demographic development level, both in the rural population involved in private farming and in the economic development of private agricultural economy underwent changes during the transformation period in rural areas of the West Pomeranian region. The commune typology has been based on commune spatial layout, according to demographic development level of population involved in private farming and economic development level of private farms in 1996. This typology divides communes into various groups. There are communes with balanced demographic and economic development (i.e. such where a balanced degree of demographic and economic development occurs: favourable, average or unfavourable). Another group are communes where demographic development exceeds the economic one and inversely, there are communes where the economic development outdistances the demographic one. As a result of delimitation, it has been proved that in 1996 the type of balanced demographic and economic development was dominant in the communes of the West Pomeranian region. It has been noted that the high degree of farming population development most frequently coexists with a high degree of private farming development. Two factors are related to this fact: high quality of the production environment and close location to large important towns.

The aim of this paper is to establish the pace and directions of changes in the components of the rural population's real growth. In the preparation of the typology of communes the relations between the birth-rate and the balance of migrations have been taken into account, in accordance with Webb's method. It has been shown that in the 1990s there disappeared the monotonic character of the development of rural population of the region not covered yet by systemic transformation, which was reflected in the high birth-rate consumed by the high outflow of population in the result of migration. It was replaced by the development of diverse character which found expression in the large number of development types and a general downward tendency in the birth-rate and a considerable decline in spatial mobility. The pace of changes taking place in the rural areas of the Zachodniopomorskie province of Poland exceed the average dynamics for the whole country. Although the average real increase in the country's rural population is lower than that recorded in the province the main component of this increase is the balance of migrations. In the analysed region, however, the real increase in the population is largely attributable to the birth-rate since the balance of migrations is similar to that recorded in other regions of Poland. Undeniably the most significant demographic changes in the rural areas of Poland have been determined by the socio-economic situation that prevailed in the 1990s. The decline in the level of emigration from rural areas is even now largely determined by the economic situation and only to a minimal degree by decisions taken freely by individuals. The decline in the birth-rate cannot be seen exclusively as the result of the earlier recorded depopulation processes and the ageing of the rural population but also as the result of changes in the social sphere that lead to transformations described in the context of the concept of the second demographic transition.
