Rural area was traditionally connected with agriculture. To compare with urban, rural areas were considered to be backward, retarded, not worthy of an intensive research. But
the situation has changed in the last time. Although cities are still centres of development in the globalization process, people in Europe leave them as a result of the
trends of suburbanization and counter - urbanization. We intend to pay our attention on transformation processes of the European countryside. We can focus on more processes occurring there: transformation from productive to non-productive, from central planned to the market oriented countryside, from the mono-functional to the multifunctional, from the national to
European and globalized. The urbanisation process shows more faces in European countryside. Such a transformation generates many impacts on natural, economic and social
processes occurring in present European countryside.
