The information access stipulates the quality of life of modern man. Inter-net is becoming a main data source. The internet network access for inhabitants of rural areas in many cases is limited. Because of high costs of traditional cable network construction, the rural areas have not suitable infrastructure. A network of WiFi wireless technology is a chance to ameliorate this situation. Authors of this paper have analyzed possibilities of application GPS devices and GIS software for projecting the wireless internet network. A com-mune from the Silesia Region was a research area. Data were acquired with GPS technology. Authors have created digital maps of wireless internet coverage. This study can serve for the optimal arrangement of devices necessary for correct functioning of the wireless internet network. ...
Rural development is one of the activities under the EU's common agricul-tural policy. Multi-functional development is a putting on in the rural area non-agricultural activities.

In order to enhance the contribution of fig to the national economy and to raise farmers' income level, it is necessary to encourage further cultivation of fig and direct farmers to fig production instead of alternative products. Most of the areas suitable for chestnut production are forestlands. There are orchards arranged with oak and chestnut trees with oak being predominant. Chestnut population in these areas should be increased. Cultivation area of this product that has many fields of use needs to be extended. Directing farmers to products that are storable in medium term with a broad market and high income is important both for the national economy and the farmers. The purpose of the present study is to remind producers the significance of two important products: fig and chestnut in the Kosk district of the Aydin province, Turkey, and to determine the areas suitable for growing these products within the study area. For this purpose the questioning and analysis features of GIS was employed. In this study, rainfall, temperature, soil texture, slope, elevation, wind direction, were taken into account to identify appropriate fields. As a result, approximately area of 13886 hectare of fig production and 3430.7 hectare of chestnut production ...
