Summary/Abstract: The publication presents the issues of sustainable development of rural areas in the context of effective resource management. The issues of their protection and sustainable use were combined, taking into account the requirements of various areas (economic, social, cultural, legal and environmental protection). The main types of resources, functions and significance related to their use were analyzed. The consequences of changes in the environment, as well as the possibilities of solving and possible threats to the most current problems were determined. Attention was paid to the most important environmental components – air, water, climate, landscape and biodiversity problems. The publication emphasizes the sustainable management of natural resources – the use of natural resources will bring many benefits to inhabitants of rural areas. A study evaluating the status of natural resources, management measures and value for the sustainable development of the Zasliai Community in the Kaisiadoris region has been described here. The study identifies and justifies the directions of improvement of natural resources management, in accordance with the components of sustainable development (economic, environmental and socio-social).
