 abstract={Spatial planning is a crucial policy within the self-governing tasks of local authorities. Local governments, especially rural communities, should involve local stakeholders in consultation processes. Legislative changes in spatial planning underscore the importance of social participation, with an emphasis on the role of geoparticipatory tools designed to support traditional methods of consultation that have been used to date. This article aims to assess the level of participation in its current form, which could serve as a basis for future research when new participatory methods are more widely adopted. Additionally, this study analyses the spatial variability of participation in shaping communes’ spatial policies. The research was able to identify local government units that make planning documentation available online. The objectives were met through a methodology that involved an in-depth analysis of the websites of rural communes in the Łódź voivodeship, particularly focusing on council resolutions and mayor’s orders. The study also evaluated the availability of these documents on commune geoportals. The results indicated that among 72.8% of the rural communes surveyed, there was the possibility of determining the level of involvement of local actors in developing studies on conditions and directions for planning development.},
