“…Overall, previous research indicates that social aspects in terms of health, education, public services and infrastructure (López-Penabad et al, 2022;Stuart et al, 2023) as well as job opportunities, unequal development and poverty (Suárez Roldan et al, 2023) are among the primary challenges for regional development.…”

To remain prosperous and competitive, modern regions must meet the challenge of becoming smart and sustainable, and human capital has a key role in this context. Depopulation increases risks of human capital availability and emigration is a primary reason. Regions that are experiencing a decreased population must develop strategic sustainable regional development policies that consider scientifically based population forecasts. The youth population characterises regional potential for long-term human capital availability. First, children represent a region’s future employees and entrepreneurs. Second, children require availability of educational services at regional level, which promotes regional vitality. Third, the youth population indirectly demonstrates a region’s socio-economic attractiveness for living and working. This study employs the system dynamic method to forecast different population change scenarios at the regional level in Latvia. The results reveal a declining, long-term population tendency for working age and youth populations in Latvian regions. Overall, Latvian regions will remain extremely homogeneous in the long term, with minor differences in the short term. In conclusion, despite regional disparities in terms of quality of life with some leading examples, all regions will experience high emigration loss. Regional social, economic and environmental characteristics demonstrate a need to assess population change trends in a complex manner. This study provides data for understanding short- and long-term perspectives that must be addressed through sustainable regional development policies.

The article presents the results of an expert survey of managers, chief specialists and heads of structural divisions of agricultural enterprises of Stavropol Krai (Russia). We carried out a factor analysis of the expert assessment of socio-economic contradictions negatively affecting the development of rural areas in the South of Russia. The opinions of the expert community represented by agricultural producers are important, since agricultural enterprises are the backbone economic units of rural settlements. A brief analysis of the publications of the science-intensive Scopus database confirms the relevance of the research topic and allows us to formulate a theoretical model of the problem field affecting the sustainable socio-economic development of rural areas. In the empirical part of the study, a survey was conducted of 205 experts – representatives of agricultural enterprises of Stavropol Krai, holding the positions of managers, chief specialists, and heads of structural divisions. The obtained research results provide an information and analytical basis for the development and improvement of programs for the strategic development of rural areas of Stavropol Krai. The methodology for studying the factors of sustainable socio-economic improvement of rural areas based on the assessment of agricultural producers can be used to analyze the territorial development of rural regions of Russia.

“…The participatory approach through PCD allows the community to contribute to development decision-making, so that the solutions produced are more in line with their needs and aspirations. Rural areas play an important role in efforts to realize balanced regional development, so an analysis of the components and/or factors that contribute to sustainable development is needed (Roldan, Giraldo, & Santana, 2023).…”

Poverty remains a serious challenge in developing countries, requiring a holistic and sustainable approach. This article describes the concept of community empowerment as the core of comprehensive development. This empowerment involves strengthening the capacity of communities through education, knowledge, and skills, enabling them to be independent and not completely dependent on the government to create jobs.Local wisdom is an important factor in this approach, considering that each community has unique characteristics that require tailored solutions. As an alternative, human resource-based and environmental development emphasizes the sustainable use of material and non-material resources. South Korea is a successful example of this approach, although challenges remain in achieving ecological targets that integrate economic, social, and cultural aspects.The fundamental difference lies in who leads these efforts. The government usually initiates the community development approach, while community empowerment comes from within the community with government support. A "bottom-up" approach with the principles of enabling, empowering, and protecting is the key to achieving sustainable empowerment. This article also highlights the importance of local wisdom in sustainable development which includes ecological, social, and economic aspects. Thus, this article attempts to link the success of community-based development with the achievement of ecological targets, with community empowerment as a key element that needs further analysis. In conclusion, to tackle poverty sustainably, we need to understand and apply these principles in our respective local contexts.
