The influence of EU measures for contemporary processes of socio-economic transformation in examined villages have been discussed. Despite the fact that in recent years the development of non-agricultural economic activities is becoming more important, agriculture still plays an important role in the development of the contemporary Pomeranian village. The main stimulator for the changes will be the organic farming development and production of renewable energy sources. The production of agricultural biogas is considered one of the most prospective directions of the energy use of biomass resources. In Pomerania the number of farms implementing ecological methods is systematically increasing as well as the number of agricultural producer groups. The direction of development of the surveyed rural areas will be to a large extent determined by the economic policy - Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union (2014–2020). An important role in rural development in Pomerania also plays the social capital, which varies greatly throughout the region. With the accession of Poland to the EU, there have emerged (as part of the operational programs related to rural areas and fisheries) new opportunities for the development of local communities through establishing and operating local action groups and local fishing groups providing possibilities for local businesses.}, type={Text}, title={Ocena trendów rozwoju obszarów wiejskich Pomorza w pierwszej dekadzie po akcesji do Unii Europejskiej = Evaluation of trends for the development of Pomerania' rural areas in the first decade after the accession to the European Union}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/61614/PDF/WA51_80934_r2016-t42_SOW-Czapiewska.pdf}, keywords={rural areas, socio-economic development, EU funds, Pomerania}, }
