Abstract

The article is an attempt to assess a dependence between living conditions and socio-cultural and economic activity of the rural population in Opolskie Voivodship (Region) on the level of rural local administrative units. One may suppose that rural areas with high economic, social and cultural activity of population are likewise characterised by higher quality of life. An assumption that rural areas with a high activity level are represented by active local governments in even European as well as regional and local development initiatives was verified. The Regional Government of Opolskie Voivodship is implementing many initiatives aimed at social and entrepreneurship activation in rural areas (i.e., Villager Regeneration [Odnowa Wsi], Opole Region Rarities [Opolskie Specjały], LEADER Program, Opole Region Renewable Energy [Energia Odnawialna Opolszczyzny]) leading to significant improvement of quality of life for the rural population. Such actions at least partly may simplify the basis of the economic differentiation of the local social function and serve to strengthen regional and local bonds and identity.
