Summary/Abstract: Looking at the village of Veľká Ves the paper focuses upon endogenous developmental activities of rural settlements. Development of the villages "from within" i.e. through internal initiatives has become gradually important since the beginning of 1990's, when municipal government was renewed in Slovakia. The paper deals with developmental initiatives of a munipality, which is currently most important agent in the development of rural settlements in Slovakia. The endogenous development of the village of Veľká Ves is defined at three levels, in particular a) an importance of supportive regional institutions for the development of the settlement, b) the role of associations in cooperation within and among the settlements, c) the activities related to the projects.
