Abstract. The development of local rural communities implies the creation of conditions for
long-term economic development, while protecting the environment, as well as the preservation
of traditional local culture. In order to ensure sustainable development at the local level, local
public administration authorities must develop planning documents that are an effective tool to
respond to some of the challenges they face. In this context, the purpose of this article is to carry
out an assessment of the perception of the inhabitants of the Greci Municipality, located in Tulcea
County, regarding the implementation of the Integrated Sustainable Development Strategy of the
Greci Municipality. The analysis was carried out from the perspective of economic, social and
environmental factors that must ensure the local sustainable rural development. The Sustainable
Local Development Strategy creates an environment dedicated to strengthening the capacity of
local authorities to implement projects for the development of the socio-economic sector that
meet the needs of citizens.

jeopardize the inheritance of future generations, it is necessary to adopt a new way of thinking-
sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development is based on socio-economic
development in accordance with the ecological constraints and on the redistribution of resources
