Gmina Żukowice, Rural municipality in Głogów County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.
Gmina Żukowice is a rural municipality in Głogów County in Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It comprises fifteen villages with the main settlement of Żukowice serving as the administrative center where local offices and services operate for residents.
The area became part of Poland after World War Two when Lower Silesia was incorporated into the country. Its current administrative form developed through several reorganizations of municipal boundaries in the decades that followed.
The community preserves traditional ways of working the land, with farming practices and local trades forming the backbone of daily life. You can observe how residents maintain strong ties to their rural environment and local customs throughout the year.
Most local services and facilities are concentrated in the village of Żukowice where the municipal office is located. Access to the various villages is best by car since public transportation options are limited across the area.
Each of the fifteen villages operates its own independent water supply system rather than relying on a centralized network. This decentralized arrangement requires significant local coordination and management across the different settlements.
