“…This result is similar to that reported by [14] who also highlights the need for individuals to undertake to obtain a source of income, a similar situation that was presented in this research. In addition, the contribution of projects in the generation of direct jobs is highlighted, since all respondents indicated that at least one job has been created, which agrees with the observations of [12]; however, a significant trend towards the creation of production chains is not reflected since 30% indicated they did not know if their company has supported the emergence of other organizations or support activities and another 40% stated that they have not contributed in this aspect, which differs from the premises presented by [11]. Together, the difficulty of entrepreneurs to access financing for the correct operation of projects is notable, although 40% affirmed that these have advanced significantly and another 10% described the progress as very significant.…”

“…In addition to the above, [11] highlight that tourism represents a mechanism to boost the local economy, since it can trigger the emergence of production chains by involving companies that provide inputs or services necessary for tourism services, underpinning job creation. Similarly, [12] point to rural entrepreneurs as key agents for the generation of jobs and wealth, for which the promotion of an entrepreneurial culture together with programs to fight poverty and creation of jobs are pillars within the communities.…”

The article presents proposals for the development of rural areas by increasing their investment attractiveness. It is proved that in addition to financial resources, limiting factors for the development of the territory can serve as its social, environmental, and institutional features. Lack of resources, technologies, and infrastructure will limit rural development. It is proved that the implementation of the development opportunities of territories involves the search for optimal solutions in the selection of investment objects, their integration into the economy of the region and the municipality. The article examines the investment attractiveness of the Ramon district of the Voronezh region, which has a shortage of energy capacity, which does not allow for further expansion of industrial activities in the municipality. It is proposed to consider the creation of a company providing services in the field of eco-tourism as an alternative investment object. Such projects do not have increased requirements for existing electrical capacity, preserve recreational potential, create jobs, and ultimately improve the quality of life of the district's population. A brief description of the development of the tourism industry in Russia and the Voronezh region is given, and the main measures of its state support are highlighted. The growth of the domestic tourist market is predicted, as well as an increase in demand for these services. The project for installing and launching a glamping complex on the territory of the Ramon district is calculated. Conclusions are drawn about the economic, social and budgetary effectiveness of the proposed project. The glamping complex will increase the export of tourist services in the region, increase the gross regional product, and create additional jobs without using significant energy capacity, which will ultimately have a positive impact on the development of the municipality as a whole.

“…Civic responsibility is seen by researchers as the active participation of the individual in the public life of a community while having as focal point the common good (Gottlieb & Robinson, 2004;Pancer, 2015) and Gauca and Hadad (2013) debate whether civil society can create social entrepreneurs to cater for the needs of people in distress and society at large. Therefore, people with high civic participation rates have positive attitudes towards the communities in which they live and actively give back to them, for example the case rural touristic entrepreneurs (Soare et al, 2017) that contribute to sustainable development (Nastase and Valimareanu, 2017).…”

We have arrived to a moment in history when the society we are living in is confronted with different sets of problems: hunger, crime, economic crises, natural disasters or cataclysms, and various human rights violations. At the moment the most appropriate way to solve these problems still lies with the organisms of the nation state. As such, the lack of civic sense and the increasing political apathy will only allow these problems to grow out of proportions. We are of the opinion that most of them can be counteracted if we try to educate the civic sense in people. By civic sense or engagement we understand a type of orientation towards being involved in social groups according to democratic principles. It is said the post-socialist countries are particularly threatened by the lack of civic engagement on behalf of their citizens that have reached the point where they take democracy for granted. This is why we explore the role played by universities in developing and shaping this civic attitude amongst young people. In order to do so, we resorted to questionnaires applied in liberal arts universities in Romania. These universities have a special relation to democratic principles, national pride and the perpetuation of the nation state as an ideal for its citizens and because of this we believe they represent a proper starting point for the current investigation. The areas that are targeted through the questionnaire are the following: the academic environment, the methods through which civic values are instilled in the hearts and minds of the students, and the institutional and personal factors that determine faculty to introduce civic values in their academic environments. Using the results we create the Civic Engagement Index (CEI) that can be used as a valuable benchmarking mechanism for those universities that are trying to enhance their civic engagement activities. Finally, we test the hypothesis that certain universities fail to create civic-oriented graduates and we propose ways in which the organizational culture could be transformed into a more supportive one: civic participation guides, civic responsibility classes, and service learning classes for faculty members to increase their openness towards the promotion of civic values.
