Abstract [eng] While analysing the evolution of sustainable development concept as the basic criteria of periodisation, a number of dimensions could be used. Thus, it is possible to mark three stages in the development of the concept: a) two-dimensional sustainability; b) three-dimensional sustainability; c) four-dimensional sustainability. Sustainable development should be implemented in all spheres and levels of life, estimating economic, social, ecological, territorial, political and institutional aspects. All dimensions of sustainability should be considered in the process of strategic sustainable development planning. Local communities understood that strategic sustainable development plans, which realize their willingness to live following the principles of sustainable development, are important. Different methods of public involvement were used when creating sustainable development strategies for local communities. Sustainable development concept, principles of sustainable development and strategic planning, methodology for strategic sustainable development planning and participation of local communities are discussed in the article.
