The article examines the territorial differentiation of human and social capital in rural areas of the Pomorskie Province, divided into suburban and other rural communes, and historical regions. Human capital is defined as a set of knowledge, skills, and competencies used for economic activities, while social capital is described as the ability of cooperative interrelations between people within groups or organizations to achieve common interests. Both types of capital are considered essential for local development. The study uses data from a questionnaire survey of 7,100 people (including 2,300 rural residents) conducted in 2013. The analysis focuses on three aspects: values, trust, and identification with the place of residence, as well as attitudes towards work. The results show that the differences in these aspects between urban and rural areas are not as significant as those indicated by commonly used indicators of social and economic activity. The suburban area does not significantly differ from other rural areas in terms of social and human capital. Historical regions also show minor differences, with no clear patterns observed. The study concludes that the territorial differentiation of social and human capital is influenced by factors such as agglomeration benefits and the central location of urban areas, rather than historical or demographic factors.The article examines the territorial differentiation of human and social capital in rural areas of the Pomorskie Province, divided into suburban and other rural communes, and historical regions.
