The research theme was to develop a concept for modelling villages to increase their multi-functionality and identify appropriate planning tools. An attempt was made to systematise potential planning intervention in village spatial structures. The aim of the study was also to illustrate, on the example of a fragment of the village of Garbów in the municipality of Dwikozy, the possibility of creating a new profile for an existing village structure with a relatively high potential for tourism and recreation to increase its multi-functionality. Potentially, such activities may improve the economic basis for the functioning of rural settlement units and influence the protection and further development of natural resources. The concept of retrofitting rural settlement areas with extensive tourist and recreational elements and improving ecological parameters is a planning solution aimed at enhancing the natural, existing natural and cultural values of these areas. The research reviewed and analysed selected rural municipalities regarding their natural, landscape, and recreational attractiveness. The example of the municipality of Mielnik nad Bugiem was used, whose model of tourism and educational development can illustrate the good application of the presented ideas of exemplary character. As a result of the analysis of the existing resources of the municipality and the village of Garbów, new solutions, including spatial regulations towards tourist and pro-ecological functions, were proposed.
