Abstract

Processes of rural development require different actions and perspective planning support. This refers both to changes in the environment, as well as the processes of economic transformation or reducing the effects of demographic changes in rural areas in Germany. What is more, the basis of any planning process system is a balance between individual interests, ie, balancing the businesses of different actors. In order to develop the spatial planning at the local level in an appropriate way, plans should be described and assessed especially with regard to their efficiency, effectiveness, and their future impacts. This is served by a number of proven methods and indicators. In the article there are current approaches which aim to describe and evaluate the processes of spatial development in structurally weak rural areas in Germany. Starting from the systematic process for rural development in the Federal Republic of Germany presented are the basic theoretical and methodological approach to the collection and evaluation of individual processes at the local level of planning and administration. Next, current approaches to assessment of spatial development are presented, based on indicators. Particular emphasis was placed on the use of different assessment methods and the use of indicators. Moreover, the usefulness of these procedures of describing and evaluating rural development at the local level are presented.
