| Abstract: | During the period 2006-2007 diagnostics were conducted on territorial aspects of rural
Lithuania with a special focus on the rural areas lagging behind. The study includes
analysis of economic, demographic and social indicators of rural areas at a
disaggregated level and a methodology enabling the assessment of opportunities and
constraints and the comparisons of rural areas in various territories. The study objective
is an improved set of diagnostics that captures territorial differences, improves the
targeting of RDP measures and strengthens the framework for allocation and access to
structural and rural development funds. The paper discusses diagnostic methods by
reviewing concepts of rurality and presenting methods used for identifying and ranking
leading and lagging territories. We use selected socio-economic indicators to describe
differences among municipalities in Lithuania and identify the key factors that indicate
more and less successful areas. These are then used to identify and rank leading and
lagging municipalities with a development index. |
