Abstract: Among the activities of vital importance for any economy, an important place is held by the knowledge, research and identification of alternatives for rural area development, a complexity derived both from the rural area size and from the share of the population employed in productive activities of services, social-cultural and habitat, etc. Although rural development is an issue that can be considered as perennial as the agricultural activity, as it has quasi-permanently accompanied agriculture development, this emerged as a problematic domain, at least in the European area, mainly in the 1990s. The share of the rural population and of the rural space contributed to the national and international importance of the rural area development and planning, on the one hand; on the other hand, the importance of rural life was also a core issue, up to the level to which, in many European countries, in the European Council and the European Union, rural development became a basic pillar of the Community policy.
