Summary/Abstract: The paper includes a detailed theoretical and practical analysis of spatial processes of tertiary activities in local and rural development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In recent period, particularly after 1995, in local development of municipalities and, in particular, in rural settlements of Bosnia and Herzegovina big spatial changes occurred thanks to fast development of tertiary activities, which strongly affected the transformation in rural settlements. Our research will be focused primarily on the local, rural development of settlements, expansion of new tertiary activities in rural settlements and on various housing constructions, and arrangement of traffic infrastructure. The mentioned processes strongly affect the contemporary spatial and functional structure of rural settlements in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For analysis of a complex development of tertiary activities in Bosnia and Herzegovina elements of social, economic and physiognomic nature have been taken, which were special and significant for transformation, respectively for the changes of local and rural areas with orientation of spatial development of new economic activities. Bosnia and Herzegovina has significant difficulties in restructuring, but also good prospects to be fast included into the European economic courses.
