Strategy for gmina is a plan for future directions of development and determines objectives and method of their implementation. The strategy is a necessary element in proper gmina management. It should not be treated as a closed system because gmina development is determined by changing conditions both external and internal. During the construction of the strategy a few primary stages should be distinguished: analysis of basic development processes, analysis of strong and weak points of gmina's social and economic system, determining objectives for the future, working out preliminary draft of the strategy and submitting it for public consultations, final selection of the strategy and preparing specific programmes as well as preparing a plan for implementing the strategy. Very important element of developing the strategy is to include local community in the process in order to give the community a sense of influence of the future of their gmina.

The ecological network 'Natura 2000' creates certain barriers not only to the development of major road-building investments but also to the development of local communities, which is largely attributable to the fact that self-governments are often refused active role in the process of delimitation of protected areas and that the interpretation of the existing regulations is not always clear. However, apart from the evident barriers it is possible to notice also positive elements which, when skilfully used, can contribute to the development of areas covered by the 'Natura 2000' network. It obviously is necessary to apply such form of environmental protection as 'Natura 2000' but its costs should not be borne by the rural communes alone. Thus, a discussion should be started on the need to create an Environmental Fund financed by the entire society, which would help compensate the local communities for the burden of protecting Poland's natural environment.

(Polish title: Kondycja ekonomiczna sektora malych i srednich przedsiebiorstw w Polsce w latach 2008 - 2009 a problemy rozwoju przedsiebiorczosci wiejskiej). Despite the crisis the number of newly established active small and medium-sized businesses in Poland grew both in 2008 and 2009. The recorded increases considerably exceeded the average annual rate of growth in the number of enterprises that characterized the 2003-2007 period. This fact can probably be attributed to EU assistance to persons setting up new economic entities. The crisis has hit the hardest large enterprises i.e. those that are strongly linked to the world economy. The Mazowieckie, Pomorskie, Wielkopolskie, Dolnoslaskie and Zachodniopomorskie voivodeships continue to be Poland's leading provinces in terms of the development of entrepreneurship. The lowest positions in the ranking are occupied by the voivodeships situated in the eastern part of Poland, with the exception of Podlasie which places among voivodeships posting results close to the national average. In rural areas enterprises operate in much more difficult conditions than in large urban agglomerations so it is necessary to devise different forms of exerting influence on the development of small rural businesses. The to-date experience of EU countries suggests that special programmes ought to be created in Poland for the purpose of stimulating the development of entrepreneurship in rural peripheral regions. This, in turn, leads to the need to establish specialized institutions that would deal with the problems of entrepreneurship in rural areas alone.

Owing to the small number of drawn credits and moderate modest investment plans rural micro-enterprises have proved fairly resistant to disturbances caused by the crisis. Micro-firms play a very important role in the Polish economy. They generate 30.1% of GDP and employ 40.6% of all persons working in the sector of enterprises in Poland. Micro-firms account for 94.8% of the total number of enterprises. Although the financial condition of micro-firms is quite good in comparison with enterprises that employ a considerably larger number of workers they display signs of numerous weaknesses, which is particularly true of rural enterprises. Problems with overcoming barriers to the development of enterprises require a slightly different approach in rural areas because rural enterprises operate in far more difficult conditions than businesses established in large cities. The formation of the network Natura 2000 additionally complicates the development of entrepreneurship in rural areas. The situation calls for a wide-scale action to make clear and known the permitted scope of development of firms in protected areas and, probably, also for the establishment of a special fund that would allow to offer compensation to local authorities and entrepreneurs for the lost advantages.
