“…Ennek köszönhetően az ÚVP legtöbb alapelvét megtestesítő területi alapú fejlesztés a vidékfejlesztés egyre fontosabb sarokkövévé vált. Az EU strukturális alapjai, különösen a közös agrárpolitika, a regionális politikák különböző eszközei és a nemzeti finanszírozási rendszerek különböző szintű stratégiákat, hálózatokat és nagyszámú projektet támogattak (Maroto-Martos et al 2020).…”

Tanulmányunk a vidéki turizmusnak a vidék dzsentrifikációjában betöltött szerepét, az ezzel kapcsolatos sikereket és dilemmákat tárgyalja két divatos hazai desztináció példáján. Az utóbbi évtizedekben a vidéki (öko-, gasztro-, alternatív stb.) turizmusra a kutatók és a szakpolitikusok is Európa-szerte a vidékfejlesztési problémák lehetséges megoldásaként tekintenek. Ez a fejlesztési irány alapvetően kis léptékű, helyi erőforrásokra épít, miközben gazdasági fellendülést és életet visz a kiürülő falvakba. Első látásra tehát mindenben megfelel a szakirodalomból jól ismert neoendogén, fenntartható fejlesztés kritériumainak. Ezzel szemben kutatásaink szerint a turizmus előretörésének helyi következményei még a (gazdaságilag) sikeres lokalitások esetében is számos dilemmát vetnek fel, gyakran csak díszletként használva a természeti, épített és kulturális értékekben bővelkedő tájakat. Elemzésünk párhuzamot von a városrehabilitációs szakpolitikák jól ismert, sokszor leírt dzsentrifikációs működése és a vidékfejlesztés jelenleg kibontakozó dzsentrifikációs hatásai között. Az épített környezet megmentése, egy terület társadalmi és gazdasági státuszának emelése viszonylag könnyen elérhető a vidéki turizmus és az ekként bekövetkező dzsentrifikáció révén. Ugyanakkor a helyi értékek komplex védelme, a gazdasági-társadalmi struktúra fejlesztése, vagyis a „helyi életvilág” dinamikus megőrzése ennél összetettebb feladat, a helyi közösségbe ágyazott, integrált szemléletet, reflexivitást, a neoendogén fejlesztés elveinek következetes alkalmazását igényli.

“…The studies carried out so far highlight the role of the LEADER program and its capacity to stimulate rural development. However, there are some obstacles to the proper implementation of the program, often noting differences in the management and approach of the LEADER program at different scales of analysis [15,17,22]. In this respect, from the first years of the introduction of the program, there have been initiatives to evaluate its results and especially to identify its weaknesses.…”

“…According to Shucksmith et al [34], this selective behaviour seems to have been specific to the LEADER program at least until the end of the fourth funding period in Europe, as it has focused mainly on supporting the more active and developed communities in the detriment of the strongly disadvantaged groups. Most of these studies are analysing the results of the LEADER program at the level of some European countries such as Spain [10,[15][16][17][18]23,24,32,35], Germany [7,17], Italy [28,36], France [15,37,38], United Kingdom [30,32,34], or Denmark [13,39] that have benefited from this financial support since the first years of the implementation of the LEADER program, when experience in managing funds was low, which explains some of the mistakes in its implementation. However, with the end of the first LEADER funding periods, the main dysfunctions were identified.…”

“…Despite efforts to provide development support to European rural areas through the LEADER program, studies researching the results of LEADER indicate a reduced capacity of the program to contribute to the goal of developing disadvantaged rural communities [15][16][17]. Thus, Cañete et al [18], Christodoulakis and Kalyvitis [19], Medeiros [20], Bakucs et al [21], Lacquement et al [15], and Bohlin et al [22], conducting research on the results of the LEADER program but also on other similar instruments in different European Union countries (Spain, Sweden, Hungary, Greece, Portugal, France, etc.…”

LEADER Program—An Inclusive or Selective Instrument for the Development of Rural Space in Romania?

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The LEADER program is one of the European Union’s financing instruments dedicated to the development of the rural communities. The instrument was introduced in the Romanian rural territory in 2007, a territory characterised by a high level of local and regional economic inequalities. The main goal of the present research is to question whether the development level specific to the rural communities have influenced their performance in managing the LEADER program. In order to answer this question, the characteristics of the initial level of development were analysed in relation to the spatial distribution of LEADER funds. The indicators taken into consideration were the number of projects, funds per capita, funds per Local Action Group (LAG), and the percentage of employees from the total population. In order to assess the relation between the initial level of development and the LAG’s performance, the method used was the Ordinary Least Squares regression, which calculates a set of statistical parameters that highlight the presence, form, sense, and intensity of the dependency relation. The results highlight no correlation between the level of development and the spatial distribution of the LEADER funds. Analysing the data, the paper reveals that the LEADER program is an inclusive rather than a selective instrument for the development of Romanian rural communities, despite other examples researched in Western countries. The results show that the LEADER program can have an influence in reducing the rural disparities, but its effects are of low importance.

“…It also increases employment opportunities, particularly for women and young people [13]. At a regional level, agritourism is becoming increasingly important as an instrument of agricultural diversification, a tendency encouraged by European policies [14]. These policies were initially aimed at freeing up agricultural markets and increasing profitability, but have progressively acquired a central role in the wider discourse about the resilience of rural areas [15].…”

The “Eco-Effectiveness” of Agritourism Dynamics in Italy and Spain: A Tool for Evaluating Regional Sustainability

et al. 2020

Rural tourism has commonly been identified as one of the main areas of application of the principles of sustainable tourism, but the literature has typically focused solely on the ecological dimension, particularly when referring to agritourism. This study presents a new approach to assessing the “eco-effectiveness” of the evolutionary dynamics of agritourism, as applied in a study of NUTS-2 regions in two European countries (Spain and Italy) that have implemented similar rural development strategies. To this end, a synthetic sustainability index was developed using the Index Decomposition Analysis (IDA) technique. The last period of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) 2007–2013 was chosen for the study in order to analyze the outcomes of a programming cycle focusing on the diversification of agriculture through tourism. The results show that the sustainability of agritourism growth is not homogeneous and has specific features in different regions of the same country. In some cases, there were more similarities with regions from other countries. This tool could help evaluate the impact of agritourism and facilitate comparisons between different regions, in this way supporting the process of transition from a linear to a circular economy.
