“…Each rural region is unique, being characterized by a specific combination of these functions (Calado et al 2011;Halseth et al 2010), which also determine its specific profile and needs for regional development. The importance of each function is determined by the specific assets of the rural territory and the strategic objectives for territorial development.…”

“…Unfortunately, the interplay between entrepreneurship and rural development is often investigated purely from an economic perspective, neglecting such contextual elements as the local identity or the natural environment (Höckert 2009;Welter 2011). To understand the complex interaction between the various factors involved in this process, it is necessary to adopt a place-based perspective (Hudson 2001;Johnstone and Lionais 2004) that analyses the unique attributes and assets of rural communities, and draws attention to the interventions required to meet regional and local objectives (Calado et al 2011;Halseth et al 2010).…”

Entrepreneurship, tourism and regional development: a tale of two villages

Entrepreneurship & Regional Development

The tourism potential of rural areas represents a source of opportunities for entrepreneurship that can enhance regional development. The impact of tourism is, however, complex, representing a combination of benefits and costs. Despite the necessity to evaluate and understand in depth the relationship between tourism, community life and regional development from a local perspective, many studies adopt a descriptive approach, focusing mainly on the perception and attitudes of local residents. Adopting a qualitative methodology, this article makes a comparative analysis of two rural communities in the south of France. Although the geographic distance between the two villages is only 12 km, the communities present unlike profiles in terms of attractions, entrepreneurial activities, community and regional development. The article provides a twofold contribution to the existing literature: first, it enriches the methodological perspective using an interpretative framework based on the specific functions of rural territories; and second, it applies this framework to explain the specific evolution of the investigated villages, as well as the existing tensions and challenges for regional development and management.

“…Th e magnitude of such a task is signifi cant, given that we are talking about 150 distinct municipalities, dispersed across a landmass comparable in size to Chile. Th ough typically conceptualized as a homogenous "other" (Coates, 1994;Halseth, et al, 2009), it is essential to remember that northern areas in Canada are quite diverse, both demographically and economically, spanning sectors such as agriculture, resource extraction (e.g., fi shing, logging, mining, oil), tourism, and numerous others. Th is produces great variance in human capital needs, even among neighbouring towns.…”

Differentiation policies have been implemented in Ontario higher education (HE) with the intent of manufacturing a more effi cient and higherquality system. Policy-makers have repeatedly touted their benefi ts, but the unintended consequences of differentiation policies remain neglected. Through this piece, we present a northern critique of differentiation policies grounded on the distance deterrence effects literature. We propose that differentiation policies threaten to exacerbate existing provincial north-south disparities in HE access, hampering human capital formation and economic development in northern communities. In addition, we specify some strategies to mitigate these detrimental effects and conclude by providing a conceptual framework through which to understand regional "blind spots" in differentiation policy.

“…In this perspective, the heterogeneity of the processes of resistance indicates that they are strongly dependent on the inherited historical and cultural resources of the rural communities. Since the late 1990s, conflicts in peri-urban areas seem to have again become an object of study for rural experts, particularly because of the increase in social concern about environmental problems 10 , but also because of the ‘disappearance’ of the rural–urban societies opposition and the emergence of a new set of ‘rural’ qualities which are socially constructed by local actors through new place-based governance mechanisms 11 , 12 .…”

Land use and soils disposal: From competition to territorial governance (examples from land use conflicts in the greater Paris region)

ACL (avec facteur d'impact)International audienceRural, natural and peri-urban areas seem nowadays to become the object of conflicts and tensions because of their multi-functional nature. If these conflicts issue from opposing views about the use of land, they are also determined by the spatial parameters that characterize the pieces of land affected by the projects of land-use transformation, and by the antagonistic relationship between two or several units of action (farmers and local planners, for example). Therefore, there is a need for a new management of rural (and peri-urban) areas, and this is the role of territorial governance, which is the engine of local development, and the tool for better local compromises, involving periods of opposition and streams of negotiation. Territorial governance has to take into account not only negotiations but conflict relations as well and to include both interaction schemes into its framework. Our study assesses the role played by conflicts in land use within a peri-urban context, based on studies on the Greater Paris region, and a case study on the use of agricultural soils on the urban fringe
