Search for: [Abstract = "The article concerns the issue of renewal and revitalization of rural areas, from the viewpoint of a multifaceted discourse on changes taking place in the Polish rural areas. The concept of renewal and revitalization of rural areas acquired a new dimension after Poland’s accession to the EU in 2004, when the influx of the UE funds radically altered the functioning of rural areas. The nature of the transformation took place at the touch of the individual cultural characteristics, its customs or local history, and new paradigms based on the European Union’s guidelines for shaping the space, functioning of the society and the rural environment. The article is therefore an attempt to answer the question concerning the impact of EU funds on the renewal and revitalization of rural areas in the program perspective 2007–2013, taking as an example the Kujawsko\-Pomorskie Voivodship. In the analysis, a special emphasis was placed on the so\-called “problem areas” that potentially require higher investment. The data obtained from the Marshal’s Office of the Kujawsko\-Pomorskie Voivodship were used in the study. These data concerned the implementation of the Rural Development Program 2007–2013, which envisages, among others, funds for the renewal and revitalization of rural areas."]
