Накратко на български

Социалното предприемачество в селските райони, като създаването на малки фирми от местни жители, се анализира чрез търсене на фактори за успех и причини за провал. Това помага да се разбере как да се подкрепят подобни инициативи в слабите региони.

Social Enterpreneurship in Structurally Weak Rural Regions: Analysing Innovative Troubleshooters in Action

A downward spiral has been set in motion in many structurally weak rural regions of Europe in the past decades. While the precise economic and social conditions of individual regions in Europe often diverge significantly the same pattern nevertheless tends to appear: Compared with cities, the conditions of everyday life in structurally weak rural regions is – due to its limited economic productivity, career perspectives, and a worsening provision of infrastructure – rather unfavourable. This has led to ever more rural inhabitants leaving the countryside. In the face of such challenges, actors in some parts of the countryside have become active and are taking things into their own hands in order to improve their situation. Several have even founded small companies and creating workplaces for themselves and others. Throughout Europe there is an abundance of innovative initiatives to be seen in the countryside, advanced by rural inhabitants, social entrepreneurs, or both in collaboration. At the same time, it can be observed that many promising initiatives had to fail because the actors encountered hurdles that they could not overcome. Often they lacked the knowledge and support to continue successfully. Also social enterprises sometimes reach their limits. Against this background there were still many questions about how the development of socially innovative initiatives and the work of social enterprises can be fostered. The overall objectives of RurAction were accordingly to address these questions, i.e., to - (i) empirically analyse critical junctures as well as favourable factors for both the creation of innovative solutions and the work of social entrepreneurship in the countryside, (ii) close the research gap at the interface between rural development, social entrepreneurship and social innovation research; - train 10 Early Stage Researchers both in order to enable them to conduct excellent research in this field and to professionally support socially innovative initiatives in the future; - derive recommendations for action from the research results; - disseminate the results. RurAction was successfully completed with regard to all these aspects. Content-related conclusions that can be drawn from the project are presented in the next sections.

Цел на проекта

Structurally weak rural regions are faced with major social and economic problems. In comparison to urban or intermediate regions, predominantly rural regions are economically less productive and they provide a less extensive scope of desired goods and services. As a consequence, the regions experience a loss of inhabitants, especially of young and highly skilled people. Thus, downward spirals are set in motion that further reduce economic opportunities and prevent rural regions from overcoming their structural deficits. The proposed RURACTION research and training network focuses on socially innovative solutions to these rural problems developed by social entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurs are understood as practitioners who create and implement social innovations by entrepreneurial means. The question arises under which conditions they operate, how they organise solutions, how they network and empower residents, which impacts they actually have on rural development, and how they can be supported in their problem-solving activities. The European Commission identifies the subject of social innovation in rural regions as a research gap. RURACTION intends to fill this gap. The research and training network brings together highly acknowledged academics and very experienced practitioners from social enterprises to contribute their expertise in this field (e.g. with spring schools, autumn skills seminars and cross-sectoral secondments). It strives to achieve excellent research results and aims at qualifying early stage researcher as equally scientifically and practically skilled experts for social entrepreneurship and social innovations in rural regions – be it in order to conduct further research in this complex scientific field, to professionally support and promote initiatives of existing social entrepreneurial organisations, and/or to professionally start their own initiatives and social enterprises.
