Assessing the Potential of Social Innovation and Local Agenda-Setting within Rural Development Programmes: Insights from Austrian Leader Regions

Abstract Since the beginning of the 1990s, the LEADER programme has been implemented to promote positive development in rural areas in the EU through bottom-up approaches and community engagement. Lately, concerns have been raised about the capability of LEADER to foster social innovation and provide adequate room to manoeuvre for communities to set agendas locally. This paper attempts to engage in this discussion by analysing the implementation of rural development programmes, local ideas and experiences with LEADER and social innovation in four LEADER regions in Upper Austria (AT). Furthermore, the analysis outlines the projects implemented through LEADER to evaluate the possibilities for local agenda-setting. The research shows both the success of LEADER as a tool to instigate bottom-up and neoendogenous development and the need for additional institutional frameworks for community consultations if inclusive and forward-looking visions of rural development are to be fostered.

PANCHAYTI RAJ INSTITUTIONS AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN HIMACHAL PRADESH

India is basically country of villages. Our entire system is based on the villages. Besides the increasing urban population, after more than seven decades of independence our economy is depending on agro based. Presently, more than Seventy percent of the population still resides in the villages. Keeping in broader prospect of Indian society, rural development is one of the major aspects of India System. Without rural development, development of Indian society is not possible. Our past experience proves that without participation of rural masses, rural development is not possible. Hence there is close relationship between the Panchayti raj Institutions and rural development. Panchayats have been the backbone of grassroots democracy in the Indian villages from ancient times. The 73rd constitutional Amendment Act granted constitutional status to the grassroots system and gave more powers to implementation of rural development programmes, policies and schemes. Himachal Pradesh is one of ideal state of India. It came in to being on 15th April 1948. Before the formation of Himachal Pradesh, no attention was paid to economic development and social welfare of the people in princely states. Only some efforts were made by the rulers in their states. The systematic evaluation of resources and their scientific exploitation was started in only after the formation of Himachal Pradesh as full-fledged state. It is only then that the people and the government of the Pradesh started making concerted efforts to improve socio economic condition of the people. Present paper evaluates the role of Panchayats in rural development in Himachal Pradesh. The study is based on the secondary data.

ІНФРАСТРУКТУРНЕ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ РОЗВИТКУ СІЛЬСЬКИХ ТЕРИТОРІЙ

The article deals with the issues of infrastructure support for rural development. A comparison of individual indicators of socio-economic development of rural regions in the countries of the organization for Economic Cooperation and development is presented. Rural areas are also detailed by state regions. The place and role of rural areas in the country's economic development is substantiated. The problems of infrastructure support for rural development are presented. Among the problems of social infrastructure development, the curtailment of socio-cultural and outpatient services, the deterioration of rural improvement, and the growth of social tension in rural areas are highlighted. The problems of developing the transport infrastructure of the village are the lack of proper transport infrastructure, poor quality of road surface, and high deterioration of the transport fleet. It is noted that the production infrastructure of rural areas also has problems related to the destruction of production capacities, outdated material and technical base. The article outlines the directions of infrastructure support for rural development. These areas are following: development of transport infrastructure in rural areas, promotion and support of local community initiatives to effectively use the potential opportunities of rural areas, development and effective implementation of rural development programs; stimulating the development of farms, developing the social infrastructure of rural areas, restoring the social potential of the village, restoring the production infrastructure of rural areas, and producing organic products.

Improving the Regional Investment Policy Using an Integrated Programme of Rural Development

Nowadays, authorities pay more attention to the problems of regional development, reduction of socio-economic inequality of rural and urban areas, improvement of the efficiency of the agriculture, and degradation of rural population. All those issues are considered in the state programme of the Russian Federation «Integrated Development of Rural Areas». Thus, we assess whether the goals set in the state programme were achieved and substantiate the priority areas for future investment. We hypothesise that the achievement of the goals set at the federal level depends on the quality and implementation of rural development programmes adopted at the regional level. We revealed the uneven economic, social, infrastructural development, investment imbalances in various areas, changing sources of funding in the process of problem solving, lack of clear goals of agricultural policy and statistical information on its indicators of achievement. Classification and generalisation of views of other researchers on the topic allowed us to scientifically prove the existence of social problems, income inequality between urban and rural population, poor infrastructure and insufficient funds allocated to support rural areas. Further, we developed an algorithm for comparing the main parameters of rural development in Lipetsk oblast and nearby regions, complying with the criteria set by the federal programme. Using this algorithm, we assessed the effectiveness of the measures taken. We identified the most sensitive problems to be solved for reducing territorial inequality and the lag in socio-economic development, and increasing the competitiveness and attractiveness of Lipetsk oblast in terms of living conditions and investment. Finally, we proposed and substantiated the main directions of improving the regional investment policy. Regional authorities can use the research results in the implementation of the rural development policy

Rural Development and Communication

The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of communication that has contributed for India’s rural development. The other reason is to check the success and malfunction of the different tools of communication in the rural development journey where many are fighting and stressing on improving the quality of rural life. In this article we will analyze some communication projects which are for rural development. Also we will discuss about the post liberalization impact on media for rural and urban development. This paper will trace the history of print and electronic media use for rural development. Initially it defines the kind of different activities initiated by government and non-government organizations that are in use as a part of developmental practice. It also investigates about some of the issues that implementation of rural development programs have been affected with and argues that different tools of mass media could overcome some of the flaws in implementation. The analysis will also focus on the positive impact of media privatization on urban development and how it turned public and private broadcasting in favour of entertainment and consumerism. Besides, this will also investigate about different communication policies which are practically in favour of rural development but remain urban affluent. The research undertaken is qualitative.

Applying Community-Driven Approaches to Rural Development and Women’s Empowerment in Afghanistan

Community-driven approaches have become popular in the development field over recent years. By establishing community development councils (CDCs), this approach enables strong community engagement in the projects’ design and execution while proactively promoting women’s participation, leading both to improved service delivery and effective implementation of more sustainable projects. In addition, using a community-driven approach in the implementation of rural development programs in least developed and post-conflict societies can help with raising awareness about democratic processes. In Afghanistan, two national programs, the National Solidarity Program (NSP) and the Citizens’ Charter National Priority Program (CCNPP), embraced a CDD approach in the implementation of their projects. RCT studies indicate that the NSP has been one of the most successful programs in the country while reports, so far, indicate the same about the CCNPP. Both programs have made an impact by creating gender-balanced CDCs through elections based on secret voting and universal suffrage. These programs have significantly contributed to the enhancement of women’s participation in the society. Nonetheless, maintaining this progress requires a stable, supportive socio-political environment in the long run. Policymakers should consider the successes and difficulties related to the NSP and CCNPP when creating community-driven approaches to development in the future

Планирование развития сельских территорий стран-членов ЕС: реформа CAP 2013

The implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union (CAP) for the development of rural areas was carried out in 2014-2020 in the line of Second Pillar CAP and closely integrated with the implementation of rural development programs developed in each state-member EU. The features of the CAP Second Pillar (distinguishing it from the First Pillar) include: 1) the possibility of choosing at the national (regional) level of priorities for the development of rural areas from the general list determined for the EU as a whole; 2) the right to use for the implementation of national programs not all, but only a few tools specified in the content of the CAP; 3) implementation of developed and adopted national programs purely on terms of co-financing by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and national (regional) funds. The purpose of the study is, firstly, to thoroughly describe the regulations concerning the planning and implementation of national programs for rural development, and secondly, to highlight those areas and measures of state support for rural areas that are extremely useful for incorporation into domestic practice. High research interest in this regard is represented by (1) the CAP priorities formulated for the analyzed period, their scientific and practical justification, (2) the algorithm for determining the goals and strategies of national rural development policies, the procedures for their harmonization with common European values, (3) a list of measures, specified by the EU for the implementation of the Second Pillar of the CAP, an logic for their selection for the execution of national policies, (4) monitoring mechanisms to check the effectiveness of the modern financial instruments using to achieve the priorities and goals outlined in the programs.

Understanding information about agricultural land. An evaluation of the extent of data modification in the Land Parcel Identification System for the needs of area-based payments – a case study

The development the GIS technology and growing access to spatial data encourage greater use of information for various purposes. Users may not be aware that data pertaining to the same fragment of land (in aspect of geometry or description attributes), but acquired from different sources do not always adequately reflect reality. After Poland's accession to the European Union, the EU Member States have undertaken to develop a Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) as part of the Integrated Administration and Control System in every country. The information aggregated by that system supports the payment of area-based subsidies, monitoring farmers' cross-compliance with selected environmental rules and the implementation of rural development programs. The LPIS was developed by compiling data from various sources, including the Cadastral Register (CR). The LPIS database is continuously modified to account for changes in the use of agricultural land. However, not all users are aware of these changes, and they regard LPIS data as identical to CR data. The above can breed conflict and legal complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent to which the reference data from the CR are modified in the LPIS. The CR was selected for this analysis because it is widely used for various purposes, including urban planning, calculation of taxes and public statistics. Geographic and descriptive data were analyzed, and the relationships between both data bases were determined (more than 12,000 elements were measured). The extent to which primary data were modified was expressed with the use of an indicator describing the percentage change in cadastral data. The study concerned geometry (Ig), described parameters (Id) and the cumulative index (Ic) of the examined objects. The results of the analysis indicate that the extent of changes in primary data varies across different locations. In more than 50 % of the analyzed objects, the relevant changes (cumulated index - IC) exceeded 50 %. These observations constitute valuable information for individuals, researchers or institutions who rely on LPIS resources.The proposed evaluation method can be used to assess the extent of data modification in other databases or locations.

Consistency between Political Party’s Program and Policy Product in Bandung Regency

After political parties win election, several political issues will be formulated into a series of alternate policy. Based on this system, political parties have a role to collect the will of society and then use it as consideration to make various public policies. Vision and mission of Golkar as the winner of 2010 elections, has become vision and mission of all SKPD even the village chief, the realization of the programs when Golkar’s candidate used rural development policy product as source of campaign in 2010-2015 local elections for Bandung Regent, have been consistent. In the other side, the obstacles are human resources in rural areas which frequently changed when trained by BPMPD, late disbursement in rural development and grants for Uninhabitable Houses (Rumah Tidak Layak Huni) are insufficient and not equally distributed. Moreover, the policy has been already consistent between Golkar’s programs with the product of public policy, particularly in the field of rural development. If the government is able to cover up weaknesses in the implementation of rural development programs, it should fulfill the needs of rural communities for employments on dry season as priority program for the followings years. Based on this research, it can be concluded that, in the micro policy level, the policies face a distortion because of mismatch between the tasks and functions BPMPD in reality,

Are Stakeholders in Slovakia Ready for Community-Led Local Development? Case Study Findings

Abstract In the EU new programming period 2014-2020 the Leader approach become part of community-led local development (CLLD). Under Slovak conditions, partnerships, which intend to get the legal status of local action group (LAG), are currently in the process of preparing and formulating their CLLD Strategies. Leader approach is characterised by 7 principles, which should be horizontally presented throughout the implementation process. The multilevel governance presented in the implementation of Leader approach includes the management and implementation of rural development programme, through which the Leader is implemented, as well as, formation of LAGs, as the mediators of the approach at local level. Both levels may have supporting or constraining effects on the application of Leader principles in the Leader delivery. The paper focuses on analysing the differences between theory and practice in the conditions of the Slovak Republic when answering the evaluation question: Are stakeholders in Slovakia ready for community led local development? To answer the question, six LAGs were assessed using the focus group as the assessment tool. Representatives of the national authorities were interviewed in order to complete the picture of the evaluated topic. The study pointed out several shortcomings in basic preconditions allowing smooth application of the CLLD.
