This paper deals with the well-known phenomenon of spatial ine-
quality. We can understand the term to refer to fitting space with
services that serve the inhabitants to satisfy their basic needs in the
field of supply, education, social contacts, recreation, and similar.
In urban areas, the number of activities is much higher than in ru-
ral areas; therefore, the (predispositions) for the quality of life dif-
fer significantly. The result is emigrations from rural to urban areas
or the lower quality of life, which leads to the marginalization of less
attractive and less accessible rural areas. We intend to show spa-
tial inequality with data about the accessibility of basic human activ-
ities, with the everyday habits of people living in rural areas as well
as with interviews with some persons from rural areas. In the end,
we attempt to problematize the topic in the sense of life quality.
Key words: Social geography, spatial inequalities, quality of life

The aim of this paper is to show the development of viticulture and
wine production in rural areas of Bosnia and Hercegovina as a de-
velopmental factor in rural areas. Bosnia and Herzegovina is far
from joining the EU politically, as well as being economically mar-
ginal; rural areas of the country are in an especially difficult position.
One of the possible drivers for the improvement of the econom-
ic situation in some rural areas is viticulture and wine production.
However, to make this activity more profitable, the economic val-
ue of Bosnian and Herzegovinian wine brands needs to be demar-
ginalized. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s geographic location is suitable
for viticulture; Herzegovina especially has all the ideal conditions
to promote Bosnia and Herzegovina as a serious manufacturer of
high-quality wines as Bosnian and Herzegovinian protected brands.
