Umocowanie koncepcji smart village, idei „odnowy wsi” oraz terminu „aktywizacja społeczności lokalnych” w krajowych politykach i aktach prawnych

Analysing the programmes implemented in recent years to support various measures for local development, improvement of living conditions in rural areas or business activities in rural areas, the author finds that both the broadly understood concepts of ‘village renewal’ and ‘activation of local communities’ have been anchored in legislation and in the government’s programme documents. The smart village concept has also recently been included in the objectives of financial support for rural development. A prerequisite for the successful implementation of this concept is to further increase the availability of information and communication technologies in rural areas.
