Rural areas and their development constitute an important area of research and policy on the local scale as well as the entire EU Community. Therefore, the work was undertaken to determine the determinants of the development of rural areas and agriculture in the Konin and Leszno subregions. The aim of the work is to comprehensively determine the level of development of agriculture and rural communes in the Konin and Leszno subregions during the period of the Universal Agricultural Censuses (2002, 2010) based on the results of factor analysis and to examine the main reasons for changes occurring in given periods. The research will allow to determine the socio-economic situation and the resulting determinants of the development of municipalities.

The paper is focused on the issue of culture and its connections to rural developments. It was based on the assumption that the culture has various impacts on rural communities` life, as well as, it has been present in various ways in functioning and changes that might be observed in rural areas. In our opinion, such a perspective should be presented in a more detailed way in order to stress the multiple and various impact of cultural issues on economic and social transformations in rural areas. Therefore, we divided our paper into three consecutive parts. In the first one, we discussed the multi-dimensional image of culture, and its role in human development. In the second one, we discussed some changes in the mechanisms of rural development, perceived as moving from the traditional to the contemporary one. We wanted to stress that culture seems to be an important part of the latter one. The last part of our considerations brought some empirical evidence from Poland focused on the role of culture in rural developments showing, at the same type, some examples of this new mechanism of rural development.

The purpose of this paper is to present a new perspective on the importance of culture in the process of fostering rural development. It includes the presentation of culture and cultural potential of modern concepts of development and strategic documents and the ability to use cultural potential both at local and regional levels. The article is an ordering. The following are presented: the concept of creative potential, concept of sustainable development, National Regional Development Strategy 2010-2020: Regions, Cities, Rural Areas, as well as good practice of Opole, as examples of introduction of new solutions into effect.

This Article shall aims to show the normative form of rural development policy in the perspective of the years 2014–2020. The problem of the above issues was set out detailed in the comprehensive package of legislative proposals relates to supporting rural development, financing of agricultural policy and regulations in structural funds. The proposed changes of rural development are determined by several factors, in particular international context, height of the agricultural budget, the legislative changes introduced by Treaty of Lisbon and new global challenges, such a global warming, lack of energy sources, water shortage. It should be emphasized that new goals and priorities of rural development were set out in discussed legislative package. Furthermore the above sets out new legal measures regulating agricultural policy – aimed at promoting innovation, preventing adverse effects of climate change, increasing the share of renewable energy. In proposed arrangements, a far – reaching modifications of rural development policy’s instruments were set out, especially that which relates to agri–environment payments system (that is LFA payments). In connection with the appearance of various risks in the agriculture sector having natural, market and sanitary features, the legislative package also provides a new set of risk management legal instruments. Referring to the financial aspects of rural policy, it was pointed out to the fact that despite the planned extension of the scope of rural policy, current level of financial support for rural policy has been kept. This openes to doubts. It should be added that the increasing tendency of shifting the cost of financing the rural policy on national budgets, which in a single agricultural market will contribute to the diversification of the competitiveness of the agricultural sectors of each Member States of the EU – was also negatively assessed.

In the article the author presents the results of research and implementation works, concerning the possibility of widespread introduction in Polish conditions of the modern principles of the implementation of village renewal programs. Currently, these programs are implemented in a much shallower form, restricted only to investments in selected items of social and technical infrastructure. Apart from Opolskie Voivodship – and part of Dolnośląskie and Pomorskie voivodships — its full potential within village renewal of the building of social capital in rural areas is not used. In addition, a properly executed village renewal project may contribute to the protection and development of natural elements in rural settlements.

W artykule autor przedstawia wyniki prac badawczo-wdrożeniowych, dotyczących możliwości powszechnego wprowadzenia w warunkach polskich nowoczesnych zasad realizacji programów Odnowy wsi. Aktualnie programy te realizowane są w bardzo spłyconej formie, ograniczającej się jedynie do inwestycji w wybrane elementy infrastruktury społecznej i technicznej. Poza województwem opolskim — oraz częściowo dolnośląskim i pomorskim — całkowicie nie wykorzystuje się możliwości budowania w ramach Odnowy wsi kapitału społecznego na obszarach wiejskich. Ponadto właściwie wykonany projekt Odnowy wsi przyczynić się może do ochrony i kształtowania przyrodniczych elementów wiejskich jednostek osadniczych.

Rural areas make up the majority of the territory of Poland, inhabited by a significant part of the population. The development of rural areas depends on many, very diverse, factors, including access to telecommunications infrastructure determining the ability to use information and telecommunications technologies. The objective of this article is the present the legal issues concerning telecommunications infrastructure in rural areas. The completion of this research objective requires the clarification of basic notions. The article proposes a definition of rural areas, as well as discusses the definition of telecommunications infrastructure and its characterization, with particular focus on the fact that the development of telecommunications infrastructure is a public goal, carried out mostly by private entities owing to the fact that such infrastructure is the prerequisite for rendering telecommunications services. The article also points out that legal regulations concerning telecommunications investments in rural areas should, on the one hand, account for the need to protect the production value of agricultural land, which is significant from the perspective of ensuring food safety and protection of the natural environment, and on the other hand, they should ensure access to information and telecommunications technologies, which is important for the protection of acquisition and dissemination of information. The article’s analysis of provisions which, on the one hand, aim to protect the productive value of agricultural land, and on the hand, of provisions designed to facilitate the completion of investment goals related to telecommunications infrastructure, brings the conclusion that the adopted solutions are not of a complex nature. The assessment of the mutual relations between provisions contained in different legal acts causes numerous difficulties. For the interpretation of these provisions, it is necessary to refer to the values that they are to protect. It must not be forgotten that the solutions adopted within this scope are meant to, firstly, serve the residents of rural areas, who are interested in both preservation of the agricultural character of these areas, and in access to information and telecommunications technologies.

The article presents selected issues of mutual acts relations that are referred in the Nature Conservation Act and Spatial Planning and Land Development Act with regard to agriculture. It points out the position of systemic farmer in natural areas of precious value. Particular attention was put on implementing restrictions on the exercise of agricultural property ownership rights as a result of established acts of planning and conservation plans. It was also specified de lege ferenda postulates for supporting farmers.

Many (World Heritage) cultural landscapes are a living environment for thousands of inhabitants, visitors, entrepreneurs, farmers and other land users. In order to manage such landscapes we have to consider the legal framework and the reality of the regional planning culture. The ‘landscape of regional players’ consists of a wide range of stakeholders. How should regions tackle natural and cultural heritage as an integrated part of regional development? The discussion of Austria’s Hallstatt-Dachstein / Salzkammergut World Heritage region involves vertical and horizontal dimensions of governance, including politics, administration, private businesses and civil society.

Rural areas in Poland are underdeveloped in comparison to urban areas and lag much behind their counterparts in the EU-15. Thus, there is still a need to support their development to accelerate their socio-economic convergence with better-off parts of the EU. Rural development is part of CAP objectives, but it is also supported from cohesion policy, especially as part of regional development. The analysis presented tries to assess which of these policies is better suited to support rural development in Poland. The research is based on document analysis and meta-evaluation of earlier studies. The results show that rural development measures within the CAP and instrument under cohesion policy are generally complementary to one another. However, there is much room for closer cooperation between the two policies to enlarge their positive impact on rural development. It seems that CAP can be regarded as better suited for rural development as it is directly devoted to rural areas. Yet, it is still too agriculture-orientated and thus it offers insufficient amount of resources and not enough instruments for other sectors of rural economy.

Programmes supporting agricultural and rural development co–financed by the EU implemented in Poland in the programming periods 2004–2006 and 2007–2013 included a series of measures that have a direct or indirect impact on thecompetitiveness of the Polish agriculture. Analysis of the goals of these measures, nature of these instruments and categories of beneficiaries eligible for support enable naming several mechanisms of the programmes’ impact on the competitiveness of the agricultural sector. These include both direct and indirect support to individual farms, as well as support for surrounding of the agriculture and the instruments for structural changes at the level of the entire sector.

The paper focuses on demographic and social changes caused by peri-urban development in rural areas in Latvia, Poland, and Germany after the system transformation began. The article analyses peri-urban development as a mostly rural phenomenon, and as a process of rural displacement. Rural development interacts with urban influences, changing the role and functions of rural areas. This is reflected by a departure from agricultural functions, more intensive construction activities and changes in land use. This also includes intensive socio-demographic and socio-cultural changes. Simultaneously there are significant population inflows, both urban and rural (from more peripheral rural areas), an increase in population density, changes of population structure etc. The paper shows that peri-urban development as a general rural trend began later in the countries of Eastern and Central Europe (after the transformation) than in Western Europe, but the processes and phenomena presently observed in Eastern and Western Europe are similar.

Rural development is closely connected with the development possibilities of residential locations. Broken social ties are projected into its earlier development. The socialist way of life (from the end of the WW II until the end of the eighties) was ideologically formed by collectivist models. Social organisations were highly formalised and controlled from above. Thousands of new social organisations have emerged in the villages and in towns since 1989, mostly involving cultural, sports and social activities. Civil initiatives were slow in winning recognition in rural areas and some types of initiatives are still missing. A new impulse for their progress was the accession of the Czech Republic into the EU in 2004. Information is drawn from the sociological research projects of the Sociological Laboratory, Czech University of Life Sciences.

Ongoing discussions concerning the concept of development applied within the context of peripheral regions (including rural development, regional development, sustainable development, local development, etc.), and particularly its critical deconstruction, encourage us to look for new theoretical approaches and terminological constructs that would be useful in research and design of desired changes taking place in rural areas and that could substitute the contested notion of “development.” The text discusses strengths and weaknesses of “sustainable rural livelihood” — as a concept, as well as a framework of academic analysis and action — in the context of its application within “rural development” studies.

Bieżące dyskusje na temat koncepcji rozwoju wdrażanych w regionach peryferyjnych (w tym rozwoju obszarów wiejskich, rozwoju regionalnego, zrównoważonego rozwoju, rozwoju lokalnego, itp.), a zwłaszcza ich krytyczna dekonstrukcja, zachęcają do poszukiwania nowych ujęć teoretycznych i terminologicznych które mogłyby być przydatne w badaniach i projektowaniu pożądanych zmian zachodzących na obszarach wiejskich, a zarazem mogłyby zastąpić coraz częściej odrzucane pojęcie ‘rozwoju’. Tekst omawia mocne i słabe strony jednej z nowych koncepcji określanych mianem „zrównoważonego zabezpieczenia egzystencji w środowisku wiejskim” (sustainable rural livelihoods ) uwzględniając samo pojęcie, jak i przydatność koncepcji w badaniach naukowych obszarów peryferyjnych, oraz prowadzonych w terenie działań rozwojowych.

The article looks at the policy programmes and role of support for rural development under Common Agricultural Policy. The author presents the characteristics of the Rural Development Programme in the current programming period (2014–2020) in comparison with the previous ones. Special attention is given to the budget of Rural Development Programme. It is also assessed from the point of view of the development of the Polish countryside.

Beneficiaries of financial support from the Rural Development Programs and applicants for that support are exposed to different types of liability, regulated by both the EU rules (concerning CAP) and local rules. The article presents these kinds of responsibilities and describes their characteristics. The responsibility of key importance is the one incurred under the provisions of EU law. This involves inter alia the obligation to repay the received support and reduction or exclusion from the support. The application of a specific sanction provided for this type of liability is dependent on „size” of the infringement and the degree of culpability; where the least severe sanctions are imposed regardless of fault (objective responsibility). Furthermore, beneficiaries and applicants for support are liable to the penalty provided for by national law. Author concludes that rules of responsibility in the EU legislation concerning the CAP constitute administrative type responsibility, which is not of a criminal nature, and therefore in the light of the ne bis in idem principle, it is acceptable to use to the same person in connection with the same action both responsibilities, like the penalty laid down in EU regulations concerning CAP and criminal penalties provided for in the rules of criminal law.

Local production systems (LPS) focused on biomass usage represent a viable alternative to rural development, which can contribute to solve its socio-economic problems in Slovakia. The main objective of this paper was to propose a general framework for the functioning of biomass LPS in rural areas and to summarize the main points for smooth running of biomass LPS projects aimed at the resource base, method of obtaining energy from biomass, energy production cycle and a dialogue with inhabitants of municipalities where biomass LPS are to be located. Lack of experience in implementing such projects was the root cause of problems in Banská Bystrica region. Therefore, access to information, experiences form other countries and the development of appropriate formal and informal linkages are necessary for knowledge transfer and play an important role in managing biomass LPS.

The general normative model of spatial planning is not adequate to the current needs of the organization of rural development. Expanded and procedurally unwieldy local spatial development plan serves well as an instrument of organizing urban development (within the administrative boundaries of cities). Used for rural development focuses on the use of the agricultural production space, notwithstanding the fact that rural areas are not only the areas of agricultural production but also a multifunctional areas, inhabited by people working outside agriculture. The doctrinal proposal is the postulate to consider the legitimacy of separation two categories of local spatial development plans: urban and rural.

The objective of the present study is to identify rules governing the distribution and thematic structure of creative activities, using the region of Lower Silesia in southwestern Poland as an example. This empirical study is based on the data obtained from the Central Registration and Information on Business (CEIDG) as of 2018. Rural areas (compared to cities) generally display a lower level of economic activity. Analysis results confirm that craft-based activities are usually carried out outside large cities. A clear structure of specialisation among creative activities indicates that rural areas should mainly undertake activities that are consistent with the character of a particular local setting and are strongly connected with local conditions.
