Súhrn/Summary: We are directly affected by the social development of the territory where we live and work. Social policy is a matter for each of us. We can participate in its creation as citizens and members of the local community or within our working life as development actors coming from public, private or non-profit sector. Social policy is a sensitive, but also a complex area of the country‘s life. Its main task is protection of inhabitants before adverse situations, but also intervention in case of an adverse situation. In the textbook, we present principles of creation and application of social policy at local, regional and national levels. We return to the history of social policy, the tradition of solidarity and reciprocity in our territory, which gives a picture of the roots of the current social development. Almost 90% of Slovak population lives in rural areas. The topic of rural development is therefore important for our country. We tried to summarize information and knowledge about factors and concepts of social development of the territory, rural social problems and approaches to their solution. We deal with selected instruments of social development of the territory and rural area. Case studies in the form of texts and videos connect theoretical knowledge with real social policy and rural development. We want to contribute to the fact that you, as future or current mayors, regional actors of development in any position, or as active and participating residents, could creatively and innovatively think and synergistically act.
