The Use of GIS Tools to Determine the Local Specifics of Rural Development. The Case of the Participation of Local Communities in the Rural Renewal Programme in the Wielkopolskie Region in Poland

Oskar Wolski

Abstract


Rural development at the local level is a complex process, in which various actors are involved and various practices are performed. Nowadays, an important role in this process is assigned to rural communities, whose participation is essential. While in terms of the programming of rural development, it is still the rural area which is in the centre of attention, the theoretical concepts of rural development suggest that the process is even more local and specific to each village. This triggers the discussion whether the interpretation of the practices of rural development can be different depending on which spatial analysis unit is selected. The main aim of the paper was to empirically verify this hypothesis, on the example of the participation of local communities in the rural renewal programme in the Wielkopolskie Region. Hot spot analysis, based on spatial statistical methods, was performed. The discussion of the GIS tools – that can be used for this analysis – in the research on rural development was the second aim of the paper. The third aim was to contribute to the state of knowledge on the rural development fostered beyond the European Union policies. The main conclusion is that the most engaged communities tend to cluster, and such clusters are a specific kind of networks, which exist notwithstanding the administrative borders of rural areas. Both neighbourhood effect and cognitive distance are crucial for participation. Finally, the difficulties in the application of the tools used were identified, and these are related to the quantification of social phenomena and the selection of parameters of the very spatial statistical analysis.
