      abstract = {Over the last decade we have been conducting research  activities in many village research camps and accumulating  knowledge about the development of different villages.  There is a gradually strengthening assumption that the  development possibilities in the analysed villages will be  affected significantly by the condition of the local  society. In the study, we primarily focused on the  experiences gained in the Romanian and Hungarian village  research camps, where we were studing the local society and  the history of development of thevillages. The main  question was whether their development was determined by  strategy, good luck and good position, or by the quality of  the local society. Thefollowing methods were used during  the research: processing and analysis of data available at  the site and in databases, questionnaire surveys,  interviews and participant observations. In case of  statistical data, we relied primarily on the applications  of the National Spatial Development and Territorial  Information System (TeIR) and on the databases of the  Territorial Statistical Data System (T-STAR) operated by  the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO). With the  help of the development history of the settlements, we drew  general conclusions about the functioning of endogenous  resources and social capital. We concluded that without a  strong local society the local development initiatives  could fail.},
