Rural areas as a necessary component of living space for the population is an increasing focus both in official documents of various EU institutions and in research investigations. Both the documents and the research papers stress the necessity to enhance and maintain the viability of rural areas. The viability of rural areas is ensured by employment opportunities and the readiness of residents for active and innovative economic activity. The authors’ research focuses on an analysis of vertical and horizontal changes in entrepreneurship in the period 2009-2015 and their effects on changes in the living space in the territories analysed, which primarily involves the country’s regions, but a special focus is placed on the mentioned processes in territorial units of the regions – municipalities –, as the life of residents is influenced not only by national policies but also by on-going processes in the administrative territories of local governments. Zemgale region was chosen for an in-depth analysis of these processes. LURSOFT data for the period 2009-2015 and Central Statistical Bureau data for the period 2013-2015 were used as information sources.
