AB  - The study is aimed at analysing the role of location as a factor affecting development of rural communities. Research findings presented in the paper are based on the findings from survey conducted by the Department of Social and Regional Policy of IAFE-NRI in 2006. Study showed that location of villages close to urban areas (especially where local self-government is located) affects their economic development. In opinion of almost every fifth of surveyed villages' representatives, location close to the town influenced development of entrepreneurship.
