Abstract

Regional policy represents an important segment of influences on changes to spatial and socioeconom-ic structures. These influences can be planned or not and can either be useful or even create new disparities. To avoid the latter it is necessary to establish a system of monitoring and evaluating regional policies, which are key factors in guaranteeing the quality and rationality of the implementation of programs that are intended to promote regional development. Monitoring and evaluation provide directions for the cor-rection of programs and at the same time offer starting points for planning new activities. Here they serve their function only if the independence of their implementation is guaranteed and if the mechanisms for their implementation are properly established.
