A significant increase in the number of inhabitants of the village does not only mean that new residents arrived in the village. To a greater extent, this is due to the fact that earlier registration of your residence in the Population Register was optional, and many people began to register it only in recent years. At the same time, they were supplemented by residents who settled in recently rebuilt houses, as well as those who converted the former cottages into housing suitable for year-round living [5] .
