“…Lack of recognition of the importance of animatorship helps to explain the failure of approaches to community development such as the EU 'LEADER' rural development programme (Ray 2000;see also Shortall 2004see also Shortall , 2008 and the vulnerability of community resources to commercial exploitation (Mitchell 1998). Our argument here is that the tendency of policy to ignore or by-pass potential animators within a community is at least partially responsible for such failure.…”

This paper introduces and discusses the concept of animatorship in relation to rural enterprise and development. At its simplest level, animatorship is the art of animating others to achieve their objectives. We develop and apply this concept to understanding community development and community enterprise, with a specific emphasis on rural communities. We present a descriptive, conceptual study of a new concept i.e. animation in the context of entrepreneurship. The fieldwork for this paper took the form of structured face-to-face interviews with community development workers in November-January 2015/2016. These workers actively stimulate, motivate and inspire others and orchestrate situations and people to bring about change through others, not merely doing things for them. They build environments and relationships in which people grow, directing and focusing energies to develop and empower people's emotional and social lives and relationships through patient, open listening and group conversation.

The purpose of this paper is to identify the main problems related to the sustainable development of rural communities, as well as the possible solutions to overcome them. This paper uses an analytical and synthetic approach, method of comparison and analogy, and descriptive analysis. The starting point of the research is actually a brief overview of the current situation in rural serbia, while the central part of the paper presents an analysis concerning the development of the rural economy in the representative villages of Grabovica and ribare in the republic of serbia. research results are given in the form of specific guidelines for a new approach to local rural development and strengthening the role and responsibilities of local government in the development process. The main conclusion that follows from the results of the research is that continued and constant work is needed in order to empower local communities to take responsibility for their own development, as well as to support local initiatives to this end.

As analysis of deindustrialization shifts from economic processes to community response, public landscapes become the locus for the struggle over memory. The interpretation of collective memory has been considered through oral histories, worker narratives, and public art. Missing from this analysis, however, are the personalized landscapes that also contribute to the understanding of industrial heritage in deindustrializing cities and small towns. This article considers a small number of artifacts and constructed objects that create personalized landscapes of industrial heritage in two mining towns in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Interpreting these landscapes highlights their ambiguity, the contributions they may make to processes of local cultural resistance, and their intensely personal motivation. The analysis questions the extent to which these landscapes reflect a wider coherent heritage discourse or function to reinforce local community, family, and place identity.Réponses communautaires, la lutte pour la mémoire devient centrée sur le paysage public. L’interprétation de la mémoire collective a été étudiée à travers les histoires orales, les récits des travailleurs et l’art public. Cependant, les paysages personnalisés qui contribuent aussi à la compréhension du patrimoine industriel dans les villes et petites communautés désindustrialisées manquent à cette analyse. Cet article étudie un petit nombre d’objets fabriqués qui créent le paysage personnalisé du patrimoine industriel de deux villes minières du comté de Cumberland, Nouvelle-Écosse. L’interprétation de ces paysages accentue leur ambiguïté, ainsi que la contribution qu’ils peuvent offrir aux processus de résistance culturelle locale et leur motivation intensément personnelle. L’analyse examine à quel point ces paysages reflètent un plus vaste discours patrimonial cohérent ou servent à renforcer l’identité de la communauté locale, de la famille et du lieu
