Abstrakt
At the end of 2015, a policy of support for the least developed districts was introduced in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. It was conceived as a place-based policy with an emphasis on the involvement of local actors in the processes of its preparation and implementation in the districts. The aim of the paper is to categorize local actors involved in LDD policy on the basis of their attitudes towards selected aspects of the preparation and implementation of LDD policy Action plans in the districts. The local development actors were classified into four clusters, reflecting the polarization of actors to "those whose needs have been met" and critics of LDD policy processes. The attitudes identified in the clusters are mostly not linked to the sectoral affiliation nor the district in which the actor was located. However, they are linked to the status of the actor as a member of the Development board - they are strongly represented in two specific clusters: Satisfied actors and Critics of central level institutions. Most actors have been classified as critics of various aspects of the LDD policy. Specifically, those are overall critics of the LDD policy, critics of the policy reform and critics of the central government level.
