Purpose: The growing importance of regionalization in the modern world has aroused increasing interest among researchers in regional resilience issues. Residents' behavior plays a crucial role in regionalization's construction, both environmentally, socially, and economically. The article aims to present the results of literature and empirical research on the pro-ecological attitudes of Lublin region's urban and rural residents. Design/methodology/approach: The research was based on two methods. The analysis and critique literature method allowed to explore the theoretical basis of the topic undertaken and showed the need for research on residents' pro-ecological attitudes. The empirical research was conducted using the diagnostic survey method using the Internet survey technique. Findings: It was found that the majority of urban and rural residents are ecologically conscious and consider the pro-ecological attitude to be important and necessary. There are slight differences in the extent of ecological activities undertaken by urban and rural residents. Greater environmental awareness is observed among those with higher educational levels. Research limitations/implications: The research was a pilot study, allowing for the verification of the research problem and checking the research tool. The relevance of the subject matter undertaken and the need for continued research in this area is revealed. It is necessary to clarify the research tool, expand its scope and replicate it on a larger sample. Practical implications: The main practical effect of the presented research is to confirm that urban and rural residents are taking pro-ecological measures and are aware that their behavior affects the region's environmental status. The information obtained provided a basis for developing recommendations on what local government authorities and organizations working for the sustainable development of regions can undertake to strengthen their resilience. Social implications: The survey results allow us to assess the extent to which residents understand the relationship between humans and the environment, and whether they think and act ecologically. Confirm the need for systemic measures to strengthen their pro-ecological attitudes. Originality/value: The article presents the role of residents' pro-ecological attitudes in building regional resilience. Its value is to design a research concept to assess the environmental attitudes of urban and rural residents.
