Abstract
The article aims at searching determinants of development of rural areas in the Pilski sub-region. The
factor analisis was used in order to detect the main factors from data gathered from GUS’s Census (1996,
2002, 2010). The analysis found 4 factors explaining 77% of communality – production restrictions of farms
due to natural resources, economic and social activities on rural areas, human capital on the labour market
and development of material and institutional infrastructure.
