Abstract. The problem researched in this paper refers to the possibilities of applications of the rural development programs in the framework of the regional development programs and regional policy. Namely, the rural areas are one of resources of a given region, its potential or limitation, and therefore actively participate in the process of endogen development of the region, and the reactivation of its developmental potential. The village restoration program is thus considered a plan element, of the integrated approach to the spatial planning, defined at a national and operationalized at a regional and a local level as a means of more regular and endogenously based regional and rural development.
Key words:   rural development program, spatial planning, regional policy

MOGUĆNOSTI PRIMENE PROGRAMA RURALNOG RAZVOJA Problem koji se istražuje u ovom radu odnosi se na mogućnosti primene programa ruralnog razvoja u okviru regionalnih razvojnih programa i regionalne politike. Naime, budući da su ruralna područja jedan od resursa datog regiona, njegov potencijal i/ili ograničenje, pa stoga aktivno učestvuju u procesu endogenog razvoja regiona i (re)aktiviranja njegovih razvojnih mogućnosti.
Program obnove sela se tako smatra planskim elementom integrisanog pristupa prostornom planiranju, strateški definisan na nacionalnom, a operacionalizovan na regionalnom i lokalnom nivou kao sredstvo ravnomernijeg i endogeno zasnovanog regionalnog i ruralnog razvoja.
