Summary/Abstract: This article discusses spatial aspects of the results of the Rural Development Programme (RDP) measures intended to improve the natural environment, via: Support for agricultural activity in less-favoured areas (LFA), Support for agri-environmental ventures, and land afforestation. The basis of the spatial analysis was the number of applications granted as a percent of the total number of agricultural holdings and the amount of funds obtained per ha agricultural land, which made it possible to construct a synthetic indicator of fund absorption and to distinguish structural types. The use of EU means intended to improve the natural environment differs widely in spatial terms and is highly significant for physical planning in agriculture, especially in protected areas.
