The paper deals with key analytical concepts applied in the study of local rural development from the perspective of the local community. It defines the different approaches to study of local development and describes the methodological framework developed by the Dutch anthropologist Norman Long – an actor-oriented approach. Within this methodological framework it describes theoretical and analytical categories as agency, life worlds and multiple realities. The overview study further uses the example of the concept of symbolic boundaries to points out how their constructs affects interactions and relationships between the actors. It also points out the concept of domains and arenas where social interfaces and intersect of different actor’s life worlds takes place.

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 introduction of a new model of territorial development based on a bottom-up approach appears to be an entirely new process in the formerly communist countries of Central Europe. However, the ongoing process of Europeanisation in these countries is acting as a catalyst for the transmission of this model of endogenous development, a model whose principles are to highlight the specific advantages of each territory and to foster the initiatives taken by decentralised actors.'Territorial governance' is a notion that sums up these new patterns of public policies that are in keeping with a multi-level environment. At the crossroads of European and national policies with bottom-up initiatives, taken by local stakeholders (local representatives, project managers, etc.), new patterns in territorial resetting are also appearing as part of the change in territorial governance. How does such a transfer of model take place and what effects does it imply? This paper is aimed at analysing the reception of this European model of local development by local actors and their ability for social learning.

The aim of the article is to analyse the development priorities of rural communes. The basis for identifying these priorities was research carried out late in 2004, within the framework of the STRUDER programme for the sustainable development of rural areas, in more than 400 Polish communes that differed in many respects and that represented various types of rural areas. The conducted research provided information about the implemented and planned investments as well as actions launched by local governments to improve the financial situation of the analysed communes. The authoress also refers to the results of the first analyses concerning the implementation of some EU programmes, especially those arousing the greatest interest of local governments. It turns out that regardless of the type of environment the principal direction of activities launched by local authorities is the development of communal infrastructure and mainly the construction of roads, sewage systems, sewage treatment plants and water supply systems. Another important sphere of activity is the development of educational infrastructure (construction and modernisation of educational facilities).

The article includes the issues connected with community investment expenditures and their significant importance in local development creation. The theoretical assumptions concentrate on the investment-expenditures' essence, and, also related, the problem of expenditures in question usage as a measure of local development. The main purpose of the empirical analysis was to present the diversity of investment expenditures, both in the static and dynamic dimension way, as well on the multidimensional comparative analysis level. The static analysis results were the basis to diagnose the expenditures shaping in the respective communities in the Kedzierzyn-Kozle district. It also created the grounds for a dynamic analysis realization. The main goal of this part of the research was to identify the dynamics of changes in investment expenditures as the base which enables expenditures in question approximation for future periods. The empirical research completion was made by forming the multidimensional-communities' rating concerning investment expenditures.

The idea to possess a 'second home' is becoming increasingly popular and leads to the emergence of vast zones of concentration of such second homes in rural areas. This phenomenon attests to progressing urbanisation and gradual materialisation of the post-industrial paradigm of development through new trends in consumption and satisfaction of modern demand for tourist services. Various forms of realisation of the 'second home' need materialise chiefly in rural areas, impacting strongly on the structure of their space and its arrangement, as well as on social and economic relations. In the zones of concentration of this form of the urban population's operation in rural areas significant changes become observable in the landscape, economic and social-cultural activity. 'Second homes' undoubtedly constitute a development opportunity for rural areas (mainly in respect of economic activity) but they also can impact negatively on the natural environment and rural landscape. The article presents an analysis of the evolution of views on the phenomenon of 'second homes' and discusses its meaning for the development of rural areas (in respect of economy, social relations and natural environment). The article marks also an attempt at arranging the principal definitions and research problems essential for the shaping of rural development in Poland.

The article deals with the problem of cohesion between the local potential of the rural communes of the Lódzkie province and the directions of pro-development initiatives launched by the local authorities. The authors' considerations boil down to a comparison between the weak and strong points of the analysed communes, as subjectively perceived by the local decision-makers, and the number and directions of actions taken to support local development. The results of this comparison make it possible to formulate a conclusion that the local potential determines to a minimal degree only the directions of activities undertaken by local governments. They reveal the low level of specialization in respect of the launched ventures which take into account these features of the local environment that attest to its specific character and form its potential

Basing on the study of two cases an analysis has been conducted of the procedures of local development within the framework of the program LEADER (4th axis of the Program for the Development of Rural Areas). Theatrical terminology has been used purposefully. The first part of the paper characterizes - basing on various types of existing sources such as local development strategies, the structural frames for development ventures, which constitute the scenery in which the action of local development is set. The second part of the paper characterizes the collective actors of development, that is local action groups formed in a purposeful way. Is it actually possible to shape social reality in accordance with some imposed framework or is this reality certain to burst and annihilate the carefully modeled framework? Are the structures formed in this way able to act, that is to manifest certain cohesion and integration necessary in collective efforts? In trying to answer these questions the author refers to the existing documents and her own investigations. The third part of the paper is devoted to the description of individual actors and their resources of human and social capital. It also characterizes the relations of individual actors with communities in which they live and for which they act and presents their views on public matters and political attitudes.

The article shows the role of local government in the acceleration of local development. Commune authorities' power and tasks make them responsible for the results of their decisions. Thus, it is necessary to manage the commune's material and non-material resources in an effective and creative way so that their use would entail the local development of a local government unit. Developmental challenges shall be regarded in a long-term context and thus, communes ought to depart from the administration and instead focus on strategic management.. One plane of the management of local development is of a particular importance - that is an economic development that aims at the support and development of enterpreneurship in a given area.

(Polish title: Mozliwosci rozwoju lokalnego w kontekscie zroznicowania samodzielnosci finansowej podstawowych jednostek samorzadu terytorialnego (na przykladzie gmin miejsko-wiejskich polski wschodniej). Contemporary theories of local development devote considerable attention to identifying methods to stimulate local government units to greater activity, and to ways in which location can be used as a causative factor. Therefore, crucial significance is attributed to the financial autonomy of local authorities - one of the key elements of the decision-making processes. It is financial autonomy that ultimately determines the degree in which local government institutions can become involved in local and regional development. The aim of this paper is to study the distribution of local government units with relatively high levels of financial autonomy and, on this basis, to identify the disparities in development potential among the regions of Eastern Poland.

The authoress examines the possibilities of supporting the development of rural communes by means of application of marketing concepts. She concentrates her attention on promotion efforts launched at the initiative of the representatives of local councils. The main thesis is that there exists a relation between the distinguished types of communes (which differ in term of social, economic and cultural factors of development) and their promotional initiatives. The results of surveys conducted by her confirm the generally prevailing opinion about the bad economic condition of rural areas. Local authorities concentrate their attention mainly on the endogenous socio-cultural development and rarely on matters connected with economic development. The latter is initiated owing to the local resources rather than owing to the search for impulses (in the form of personnel, financial means or investors) that could be found outside the commune. Promotion is addressed to the local community chiefly. A statistically significant relation existed between four groups of variables: internal economic promotion - economic character of development; internal social promotion - mixed character of development; internal social promotion - economic character of development. The results of conducted research indicate that communes launch promotion efforts mainly in the internal social and the internal cultural spheres. Entities that apply for the external economic promotion more often record better economic indicators and, consequently, achieve a better position on the labour market and are richer. Key words: promotion efforts, local development, rural areas.

Public administration, especially local government administration has no macroeconomic instruments, it may only use various stimulants for foreign investors. It also does not have good financial instruments and may only use reductions and exemption from local taxes, in particular land and property taxes. One of more important determinants of location depending, to large extent, on actions of local governments constitutes well developed infrastructure, mostly roads but also the one connected with availing lands to entrepreneurs for investing i.e. facilitating land with sewage system, water supply system, gas and energy system (e.g. special economic zones). National, regional and local authorities should actively create a proper investment climate, favourable to external investments (i.e. foreign, national, regional) and the one directed at retaining enterprises that presently function. The actions which may influence the improvement of the investment climate depend on political determinants and economic situation of a given country or region, on the progress directed at the improvement of the investment climate in the future, the results of liberalization of the policy regarding foreign direct investments and previous activity of promotion . The investment climate constitutes, apart from natural (material, market, cost) advantages of a given area, the integral component of the combination of location determinants influencing the choice of a given country, region or the place for direct location within a region. As for practice, in the conditions of small differences among countries and regions applying for foreign direct investments (FDI), the subjective opinion of investors regarding the location of a future investment plays a crucial role.

With the introduction of market economy in Poland into all sectors of life, the phenomenon of competitiveness appeared also among territorial units. This competing may refer to different kinds of benefits determining the impuls for socio - economic development, such as access to financial resources, skilled workforce, attraction to new investors, attraction to the potential consumers (tourists, students, patients'), etc. Therefore, it can be said that the market economy somehow forces municipalities and counties, as well as enterprises, for undertaking marketing efforts. This competitive situation has nowadays become a stimulus to the development of marketing concepts and to treating territorial marketing as a significant factor in the local development.

Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro is an Indian community situated in the Purhépecha Indians region in the State of Michoacán in Mexico. In the 1980s a forest company was established there. Its structure was based on a traditional community organization on one hand and on the model of modern enterprise on the other. The company is now supported by the Mexican Government and by international organizations It is economically successful and has improved living standards of community members. It is recognized as a international model of community enterprise. However the social reality does not fit the ideal model. Conflicts, corruption, lack of democracy are the negative part of the phenomenon, which is not publicly discussed. The profits from the company are available only to a small group of people, which does not permit equal development.

The lack of financial resources needed to solve the everyday problems in Ukrainian local communities actualize the issue of working out new financial mechanisms to enhance financial base for local development. The effectiveness of participatory financing as one of such mechanisms is examined in the paper. Investigation of the impact of the mechanism of participatory financing of the European Union and UNDP “Community based approach to local development” on social and economic development of Ukrainian local communities leads to the conclusion that the method of financing acts as an institution which motivates the local community self-organization, initiative activity and productive cooperation with the authorities. The analysis showed a positive impact of participatory financing both on economic indicators of local community development in the short run and on the characteristics of the communities’ social capital which could be a factor for long term economic development. This conclusion is supported by regional experts. Generally they evaluate the scheme of participatory financing as an effective one. The main value of this model of financing is a synergistic effect (all the participants get result that they could not achieve individually).

Spatial management can be viewed in various ways, but municipal spatial management is among its crucial aspects. It can be more broadly defined as local spatial management. There are a number of considerations that have a significant influence on the possibility of specific actions in this field. The purposes of the present paper are as follows: to determine the place of spatial management of municipality in the general management system of gminas, to determine the relationship between the key concepts associated with spatial management and the development of a spatial management system model of municipality, with particular emphasis on the use of direct spatial management tools.

The aim of the research project was to find an answer to the question whether spatial variations in the level of socio-economic development of rural Poland are gradually disappearing thanks to the cohesion policy pursued in the country or whether they are still growing despite the implementation of this policy. It was assumed that the course of ongoing transformation is dependent on two factors: cohesion policy and the well-known fact that the effectiveness of investment is higher in better developed areas. Additionally, an attempt was made at determining how the discussed processes were influenced by policies pursued by local authorities. Other factors (e.g. attractive location) have greater influence on spatial variations in development than the pursued cohesion policy.
