Abstract
The article presents changes in the average migration rate for 43 small towns of Malopolska from the time 1986-1988 before the economic transition period in Poland, 1995-1997 and 2002-2004. The problem of migration has been connected to the issue of housing, together with the development of the labour market. Other important factors influencing the migration attractiveness are geographical location in terms of the distance to the big urban Cracow agglomeration, effectiveness of local authorities and also the efficiency of the road network together with the development of infrastructure. Apart from the average migration rate for towns, the role of external migrations has been shown and the share of internal migration directions both in immigration and emigration has been presented.
