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.

In Poland, such phenomenon is particularly observed in cities and environmentally attractive areas. Despite its richness and diversity, historical and cultural potential of the Polish rural areas is relatively weakly considered in the development of tourism. Meanwhile, tourism offers a chance for the development of rural areas and to solve their contemporary problems. Development of the tourist function is however conditioned by adjustment of rural areas to the purposes of tourism in the scope of revitalization processes. The Lubelskie Voivodeship is characterized by considerable prevalence of rural areas and occurrence of all typical associated issues, intensified by the region’s peripheral character. Such location, however, can prove to be an asset in tourism development. Cultural values combined with weakly transformed natural environment provide for considerable potential of the area. Conducting revitalization of rural areas towards the development of tourism largely depends on the possibilities of obtaining EU financial support. Since Poland’s accession to the EU, i.e. 2004, beneficiaries from rural areas of the Lubelskie Voivodeship have implemented projects of more than 1.5 billion PLN. In the new financial perspective for the years 2014-2020, rural communes of the Lubelskie Voivodship have submitted 48 applications for co-financing revitalization measures, corresponding to 25% of communes. Thus, revitalization measures in rural areas are still not broadly implemented. This fact is confirmed by the survey performed by the Authors. The study also showed that measures for tourism development are not of priority importance, but rather supplementary to revitalization projects. The planned undertakings usually have the nature of single investment projects, particularly related to tourist and recreation infrastructure. The contribution of original, interesting projects aimed at creating tourist offer based on local tradition and culture is marginal. A negative phenomenon is also lack of strategic and complex measures aimed at tourism development. These would enhance stipulating investment in the tourist base and products, along with educational and support measures for the local community (i.e. residents’ inclusion in tourist entrepreneurship). These findings suggest that next to financial support, the main need of the rural environment in terms of activating revitalization processes in terms of tourism development is extensive education and conceptual support.

This process involves bringing about living conditions for entire local communities, creative development of spaces adjusted to the modern needs and fulfilling new functions. Social and economic changes, involving living areas and their surroundings, infrastructure, open-access spaces, services and meeting the living and spiritual needs are a measurable effect of these activities. Such initiatives have been popular and widespread in the European Union for over 20 years and the financial resources from the so-called Rural Development Program have served as direct support tools. The elaborated concepts and projects, based on using local resources and qualities, have been implemented within the scope of the Program for Renewal of Rural Areas as a regional system supporting the village administrative offices. The Opolskie Voivodship has become the Polish leader in such activities. Thanks to partnership cooperation with the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, local administrative authorities implemented the first projects on the renewal of rural areas in the mid-1990s. The successful ventures were inspirational for other local authorities and while Poland accessed the European Union and new potential for financial support arrived, different projects were launched all over the country. The Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodship is actively involved in the Program for Renewal of Rural Areas, which has the slogan “The countryside in Warmia, Mazury and Powiśle – a place in which life is worth living…”. This paper presents the effects of the activities undertaken by different entities aimed at improving the image of the countryside and living conditions of Wejsuny residents.

These evoke pronounced changes in rural landscape, including its basic element, the village. Varied effects of transformation are visible in the village’s image and unfortunately, they are most often negative. As an aftermath, one observes obliteration of the place’s tradition, distinctiveness and regional specificity of rural areas. Taking action for rural renewal or revitalization requires a series of research and analysis to identify sources of the problems occurring in the village. Regarding diagnosis for village state, a special emphasis is put upon territorial, natural and social conditions. In turn, the process of developing recovery strategy, its initiation and implementation necessarily requires involvement of local community. Identification of rural landscape distinguishing features in the analysis procedure serves to clarify the vision for the development of a given area. Distinguishing marks of the rural landscape can become the basis or inspiration in developing the concept of revitalization, at the same time preserving village’s historical assets. The article presents the above mentioned issues and considers the differences between rural renewal and revitalization. Discussion is based upon data acquired by the means of conducted analysis concerning two villages located in the Opolskie Voivodeship: Złotogłowice and Różyna.

Among the outcomes of this process, one can list e.g. social integration, support for local initiatives, socio-economic revival or decreased disproportion in spatial development. These changes are encapsulated in the processes of rural revitalization and renewal, which are most expedient in areas suffering from social, economic and spatial degradation. The study aims to determine the role of embeddedness of an enterprise in the local environment in the processes of rural revitalization and renewal (a case study of Działyń in Kłecko commune, Wielkopolskie Voivodeship). Działyń is a former state agricultural farm with a historic site comprising local cultural heritage. It houses Działpol, an agricultural company established as an outcome of transforming a prior state agricultural farm, now a modern biogas plant. The analysis has shown that initiatives undertaken and supported by companies demonstrating their incorporation with the local environment and practices, including participation enhancing local resources and infrastructure, as well as undertakings integrating local community, or provision of other local services prove that embeddedness of enterprises in the local environment is pivotal when implementing the processes of rural revitalization and renewal.

A decline of non-agricultural forms of business activity, mainly tourism and industry, which developed here before 1945, was one of main causes for rural areas’ depopulation. For this reason the region is considered problematic by many researchers, despite numerous attempts of activation. However, in the recent years, diversification of tendencies in population changes and the increase of entrepreneurship in rural areas have been noticed. This, apart from continuously progressing depopulation, processes indicating ‘revival’ of certain declining villages have emerged. Such situation results from an influx of new residents, mainly from urban areas. Population inflow is contributing not only to a growth of population or transforming population structures, but also to the entrepreneurship development (mainly tourism). New residents are not only activating the local community, but frequently run own businesses, contributing to transforming the functional character of particular villages.

The paper presents some theoretical observations and reflections as well as methodical issues relating to specified stages of the research procedure, which precedes practical action. The article shows the need for interdisciplinary research, taking into account achievements of numerous scientific disciplines. The author presented problems associated with the diagnosis concerning preservation degree of original features related to spatial layout in the context of historical and contemporary morphological changes. Other aspects regarding valorization of rural forms were discussed, taking into account various criteria such as antiquity, genetic homogeneity, preservation of original spatial layout, unique features, but also the criterion of spatial and functional order as well as aesthetic and emotional values. Furthermore, the paper includes recommendations for the necessity related to extending monuments’ register in terms of valuable rural forms in Poland and taking actions in the field of protection and conservation.

For a long time local authorities were not recognizing the potential of the village despite of numerous tourist attractions (main square, barns, old church, limestone outlier – ‘Rock of love’), the village was not considered as tourists’ object of interests. One of the first steps regarding revitalization was cleaning up riverside land near the ‘Rock of love’ and purification of artificial lake. New walking paths and the beach started to attract tourists. Nearby, the river fish bar was opened and another restaurant appeared near the main square. The next step consisted of ‘Outdoor design” workshops, during which students from Silesian universities considered how to improve the quality of public space. Local authorities have taken care of creating corporate design for Mstów and set up ‘Apple Fest’ – an annual event for merchandising fruits planted by local fruit farmers. An interest in village’s history also occurred. In 2012 Mstów was celebrating 800th anniversary of bishops’ congress, during this event lectures about history of the village, church and local order were given. Archeological and ethnographic researches were initiated. Historical barn district was a master thesis’ topic of the author. Revitalization and local authorities’ interest has brought positive effect. Event related to local farming is advertising the village, which is also growing in tourism. The villagers have become interested in history of Mstów and seen cultural value of the place, they are live in. Despite all the effort, there are still a lot to improve. Barn district is deteriorating and may vanish soon. Interest from local authorities and inhabitants is needed, because they do not see these building as a local heritage.
