Country Life Quality in the Opinion of Young People in Respect of Their First Job Location Decision – Subjective Approach
2017
Mimo poprawy infrastruktury w wielu obszarach wiejskich można zauważyć niekorzystne tendencje związane zarówno z przyrostem naturalnym, starzeniem się społeczeństwa, jak i ujemnym saldem migracyjnym. W kraju takie tendencje są najbardziej widoczne na obszarach wschodnich (Podkarpacie, Podlasie) oraz zachodnich (Opolszczyzna). W artykule podjęto próbę oceny jakości życia na obszarze wiejskim przez ludzi młodych i poznania ich preferencji co do miejsca studiowania i podjęcia pracy czy też prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej w okresie rozpoczynania aktywności zawodowej. Jako próbę badawczą wybrano uczniów szkoły średniej mieszkających i uczących się na obszarze wiejskim w szkole oferującej k…
Opportunity- and Necessity-Driven Self-Employment Among Older People in Finland
2017
To date, few empirical studies have attempted to highlight the impact of the socio-economic characteristics of older entrepreneurs according to whether they are driven by necessity or opportunity. Tervo and Haapanen contribute to the economics of ageing by showing that opportunity- and necessity-driven senior entrepreneurs differ in terms of socio-economic characteristics. This chapter utilizes a longitudinal data set from Finland. Individuals aged between 55 and 70 entering self-employment are grouped in terms of pull and push motivations. Profiles of entrepreneurs are developed using personal, family, and environmental characteristics. The results show that opportunity-driven older self-e…
Self-employment duration in urban and rural locations
2009
Previous research has shown that local environment is important for self-employment. Self-employment dynamics varies between areas characterized by different labour market conditions, entrepreneurial tradition and other structural factors. Alternation between different labour market states (self-employment, paid-employment, non-employment) is also likely to increase if employment opportunities remain low in local labour market markets. This paper analyses the factors influencing the duration of self-employment spells in Finland with a large registered-based data set from the period of 1987-2002. It is evident that rates of exit out of self-employment and the length of self-employment spells…
Produire, diffuser et transmettre des savoirs portant sur la pauvreté et l’intervention sociale en milieu rural
2018
Tout en reprenant les enseignements de travaux de recherche conduits en France au sujet de la pauvreté et de l’intervention sociale en milieu agricole et rural, ce texte montre les conditions d’élaboration de savoirs s’appuyant sur des connaissances issues des sciences humaines et sociales et sur des observations conduites par et avec des professionnels de l’action sociale. Au-delà du repérage de situations qui caractérisent les espaces ruraux, il souligne l’apport de différentes méthodes d’investigation pour affiner le regard sur les conditions de vie des plus pauvres, les capacités d’adaptation dont ils disposent et les dispositifs qui leur sont destinés.
Rural Renewal Program in the Aspect of Sustainable Development of Rural Areas in the Opinion of Respondents from the Opole Voivodeship
2018
Sustainable development has a complex nature and is represented by economic, social and ecological pillars. Connected with the concept of multifunctionality on the rural areas it translates by diverse economic activities carried out with respect for environmental aspects, with the development of social and cultural functions, and with the attention to ensure good living conditions for the inhabitants. Effective achievement of sustainable development goals needs constant and consistent raising of public awareness, as well as an increase in the public access to information and its participation in the decision-making process. The aim of the paper is to assess, basing on the respondents‘ opini…
How do rural areas profile in the futures dreams by the Finnish youth?
2016
Abstract Demographic trends do not give much hope for rural regions in developed economies. Many studies prescribe rural futures as manifestations of consumption of the countryside by an urban majority. However, many of these macro-images and typologies lack explicit micro-agency. This article illustrates what are the expectations from personal futures in rural areas, where specifically and by whom. The respondents of a national survey represented the Finnish youth, who described their dream future in 2030 in terms of livelihood, accommodation and lifestyle recipe. Analysis of the dreams resulted in distinct regional profiles. Urban-adjacent rural areas are profiled as places for a cosy lif…

Para ello, se realiza un estudio de encuesta, cuyo cuestionario se aplica a 478 mujeres de entornos rurales de Andalucía de 18 a 65 años. Los resultados muestran dos perfiles de mujeres en función de sus motivaciones de uso de las redes, encontrando que las que usan las redes con una mayor variedad de motivos, muestran mayores niveles en intensidad, habilidad y autonomía de uso, mientras que las que la usan exclusivamente por motivos relacionales presentan niveles inferio…
TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMES
2012
In the past years, the role of traditional products in the European economy has greatly increased, firstly through the supply of essential products and services for the local communities, but also through the creation of new work places in all the EU countries, including Romania. 99,1% of traditional products are being produced in our country in small and micro-enterprises, with a small number of employees, and which use traditional recipes, passed down from generation to generation - and the secret of which is kept strictly within the family. This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of developing these small businesses which produce and sell traditional products in Romania, and to ana…
Cibo, salute e stili di vita per la rigenerazione rur-urbana
2020
La dieta mediterranea si basa sulla tradizionale composizione alimentare e sui prodotti che sono stati per secoli indissolubilmente connessi ai paesaggi agricoli e marini del mediterraneo, con le loro dimensioni ecologiche, culturali sociali ed economiche della biodiversità. Nella nostra regione abbiamo sviluppato programmi regionali per attuare strategie di prevenzione primaria delle malattie croniche non trasmissibili ad alta prevalenza attraverso l'educazione e la consulenza comportamentale e nutrizionale (FED), insieme a progetti di ricerca e innovazione finalizzati al recupero dell'identità territoriale attraverso il consumo e la produzione sostenibili del cibo prossimale e sua trasfor…
Aktywność sołectw wspierających rozwój społeczny w ramach Programu Odnowy Wsi w latach 2013-2015
2018
Odnowa wsi jako metoda rozwoju stanowi jeden ze sposobów osiągania celów rozwojowych, rozumianych nie tylko w kontekście poprawy jakości infrastruktury, ale poprawy szeroko rozumianej jakości życia, której nie osiągniemy bez zaangażowania samych mieszkańców. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie Programu Odnowy Wsi (na przykładzie województwa opolskiego) jako elementu przyczyniającego się do rozwoju kapitału społecznego, czego wyrazem może być liczba przedsięwzięć realizowanych przez poszczególne sołectwa. Zostały przeanalizowane sprawozdania sołectw (około 600 rocznie) z realizacji programu w latach 2013-2015. Podstawową metodą prezentacji wyników badań jest analiza opisowa z użyciem metod il…
