Abstract: The border regions are areas of countries, where the possibility of common development is influenced and made difficult by existence of the state borders. The barrier effect of this border was strongly strengthened and development of those areas limited during the period of socialism. In those times the development of rural border areas of this region was not perceived as priority despite their location along borders with socialistic Poland. In context of central planned economy and contemporary political decisions it meant constantly increasing level of marginality for these rural border areas. Their one-sided orientation on state supported farming (also in sub-mountain and mountain natural condition in spite of unfavorable natural condition) should in future give rise to social, demographic and economic problems in these areas. This situation can not be of course compared to situation in border region along the iron curtain at those times, however truth is that studied rural border regions faces complicated period of adaptation to new economic conditions after 1989. There appeared new possibilities for development – alternative farming, development of tourism, enterpreneurship, cross border cooperation etc. On the other hand shift from central planned economy to market economy brought along problems (crisis of traditional industrial branches and traditional agriculture as well). It meant loss of working opportunities for local population that can not be compensated by offer of local entrepreneurs. Social consequence of this process is unemployment. Rural border areas started to be spatially differentiated after 1989. Different natural, social, economic conditions lead to different development of these rural areas.
