A village constitutes a multifarious social and spatial structure which fulfils various functions. Thus, in order to solve its problems a complex, territorial approach is needed and not only a sector approach dictated by the requirements of agriculture. A multifunctional development of rural areas, based on the principle of balancing the development's three key factors (social, economic and ecological) constitutes the foundation of programmes envisaging actions designed to make the chances of rural communities equal to those enjoyed by the 'rest' of the society. The chances for and successes in the demarginalisation of the Polish rural community can all be linked to any actions stimulating the activity of the rural community and many-sided development of rural areas. Such actions can be launched not only owing to the use of the endogenous factors of the local communities but also owing to the use of means available from the EU as well as suggestions and experience stemming from the implementation of various European programmes, including the 'rural revival' programme implemented in many European countries as one of the ways leading to the multifunctional development of rural areas.

The problem of stimulation of economic activities in the areas where state-owned farms (PGR) operated in the past should be examined in a broader context, i.e. both in the context of concepts relating to activisation and development at local level, and in the context of Poland's incorporation into the European structures. As social-spatial and economic structures of rural areas the post-PGR hamlets - incorporated into communes in accordance with the administrative division of Poland, should be subject to the same influence and processes that apply to the whole self-governed local communities. Simultaneously, actions should be intensified - within regional and local programmes, as well as programmes launched by the Agricultural Property Agency (ANR), non-governmental organisations and local associations working in favour of the development of concrete communes, to eliminate the existing differences in opportunities to develop economic activities between the territory of a former state-owned farm and the remaining territory of a commune. This is becoming particularly important on the eve of Poland's accession to the European Union and the possibility to obtain access to EU structural funds and use the means destined for agriculture. It is important that the post-PGR hamlets cease to be enclaves differing unfavourably from the rest of rural areas.

The LEADER+ Pilot Programme was included in Poland's structural funds as measure 2.7 of the Sectoral Operational Programme 'Restructuring and Modernisation of the Food Sector and Development of Rural Areas'. The filing of applications and the procedure of their formal evaluation took nearly a year. 174 applications were admitted to the implementation of Scheme I with the purpose of creating and registering a Local Action Group and preparing an Integrated Development Strategy for Rural Areas. The first agreements on subsidies to Scheme I were signed in August 2005. Some partnerships decided to start implementing the programme without financial assistance. What does the process of implementing Scheme I of the LEADER+ Pilot Programme look like? What, according to persons directly involved in the formation of partnerships and creation of the Integrated Development Strategy for Rural Areas, are the strong and weak points of the programme, and what opportunities and threats are connected with its implementation? These are the most important questions that the authoresses of the article are trying to answer. Their analysis is based on the results of research carried out in two Polish communes. The aim of research conducted with the help of participating observation and other techniques of collecting materials was to present the course and mechanisms of implementation of Scheme I of the LEADER+ Pilot Programme. The results of the conducted analysis provide material for considerations as to the chances for success and development of the 'common European initiative' in Poland.
