Increasingly, the idea does not affect only a single farm, but engages broader rural community, providing possibility to earn money and integrate. An idea implementing local resources is to develop an original offer that will drive the development of rural tourism, based on the concept of thematic villages. Creating a leitmotif of a village is an innovative way to stimulate rural economy and provide alternative sources of income for local inhabitants. Within the framework of a common project, local community learns to cooperate, care for the village and jointly establish village’s brand. The research presented in the article concerns about 80 villages of the Dolnośląskie Voivodeship, which have adopted a given theme to create individual tourist offer. The analyzes undertaken by the author are focused on the issues of establishing thematic villages in terms of their specialization, stage of development, variety of proposed offers or organization of cyclical events.}, type={Text}, title={Rozwój obszarów wiejskich w oparciu o ideę tworzenia wiosek tematycznych = Development of rural areas based on the idea of creating thematic villages}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/67964/PDF/WA51_86468_r2018-t49_SOW-Podolska.pdf}, keywords={rural renewal, thematic village, rural areas development}, }
