The main objectives of the present study were to define the concept of spatial order in rural areas, and to develop a method for its evaluation. Spatial order indices and their measures are proposed in the paper, followed by a description of successive stages of spatial order evaluation, and practical applications of the method proposed. The method for spatial order evaluation in rural areas was tested in a selected investigation area - Lauda District, Lidzbark Warmiński Commune. The results obtained are presented in a tabular and graphical form.
