We carry out an analysis of rural areas in Poland on the LAU2 level. The research reveals significant heterogeneities among rural boroughs. The deconcentration hypothesis holds only for rural boroughs within 40 km of large towns. The remaining peripheral rural boroughs are subject to adverse demographic and development pressures, with limited infrastructure stock and public services availability. The strong differentiation between rural boroughs indicates the need for a reconsideration of the criteria for regional cohesion policies.

W niniejszym opracowaniu przedstawiona została analiza obszarów wiejskich w Polsce na poziomie LAU2. Badania przeprowadzone na podstawie wskaźników zrównoważonego rozwoju ukazują znaczną niejednorodność gmin wiejskich. Hipoteza o dekoncentracji potwierdzona została dla gmin wiejskich położonych w promieniu 40 km od dużych miast. Pozostałe, peryferyjne gminy wiejskie podlegają niekorzystnym trendom demograficznym i rozwojowym, skutkującym ograniczoną dostępnością infrastruktury i usług publicznych w tych samorządach. Zaprezentowane silne zróżnicowanie gmin wiejskich wskazuje na potrzebę weryfikacji kryteriów przyznawania środków w ramach regionalnych polityk spójności.
