The aim of the article is to present the main conceptions of local development without giving preference to anyone of them and to appraise their utility and usefullness, among others to the planistic work. A review of these conceptions with concrete examples of their solutions should - in the assumption of the author - be useful for preparation of various programmes (designs) related to the determined rural areas, to the countryside, as well as to the small towns functionally connected with these areas, including those being the seats of communes. Concluding, the author points out to the necessity of taking advantages experiences already made in foreign countries but taking into account the ach.evements of Polish authors and respecting the specific features of Poland.
