Types of Lithanian rural regions and the supporting of its development

In the article there are discussed methodic and practice problems of regional typifying, also excepted by the example of regional European Union countries applied and adapted for Lithuanian conditions methodic of regional types use in formulation and realization of differential regional rural development politics possibilities. The urgency of this work is described by the aspiration to joint to more rational measures of Lithuanian rural regional development, differentiated according separate rural regional specific features, the preparation system. There were used criterion and indexes that summarized: social-demographic differences, specific features of territorial conditions and economic factors, there are described the most important regional types, Lithuanian districts and regions (which correspond to European Union NUTS - 3 and NUTS - 4 level) attributed to those types, differentiating them into under types according to specified indications, there is presented the social-economic characteristic of those regions, also there are foreseen directions of practical adaptation. The regions in Lithuania have differences in nature, social-demographics conditions, so further directions and priorities of supporting should have a differences. The results of regions typifying may be used for such purposes. I our opinion, the realization of regional rural development politics (supporting) differentiate criterion must be: general, which feh/flects the demographic, territorial, infrastructural and other differences, specific, which reflects special development conditions (region of the Lower Nemunas and other), reaching the results progress, which reflects the efforts of inhabitants and administrators for development activity. For grouping of means differentiation the variant counting there was carried out. The result of this counting was a coefficient of “supporting” for each type of regions. These factors can be connected to regional coefficient, which is different for each region. The preliminary analysis of counting show, that such differentiate coefficients can have an objective estimating of ruraldevelopment conditions. Conclusions: 1. the requirement and mean of regional typifying is very large, because it may create objective conditions for formatting and realize differentiate regional politics. 2. the results of regional typifying sufficiently reflect objective tendency of social-demographic, territorial and economical conditions and changes. 3. the separated region types can not fully revolt the specific development conditions of some regions, because of the deficiency of information and a little representation of separate indexes. For better employment of research work result we must take resolute means for improving of information base by presenting all information according to EU standards
