This study aims to investigate whether and how institutions can contribute to generate value at a territorial level and in which way this value may fit with value-in-business. Starting from the conceptualization of value generation and its relationship with territorial development according to service ecosystem perspective, this study aims to present and discuss an experimental project carried out in a specific Italian area to better understand these main theoretical issues. Specifically, the Sicily region is significant for the genetic factors of the context, linked to a social and cultural structure which, despite the presence of numerous obstacles to socio-economic development, strengthen the path of ‘multi-actor and multi-level’ involvement, which implies the active participation of a plurality of local actors essential to generate value for the territory and for business.

Community development program is defined as the set of programs and policies designed to improve the socio-economic condition and also use the existing resources in better way. It is an organized process where member’s efforts of a community can be joined with the collaboration of government departments and non-governmental organizations to improve and evolve community socially, economically and culturally. In Pakistan, the first community development program was introduced in 1951 with the establishment of pilot project in Karachi, by the federal government. Since 1951 till today various community development programs have been implemented by government and non-government organizations (NGOs) to improve the living standard of people. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact and contribution of community development programs for socio-economic development in Pakistan. The research study endeavored to analyze the social and economical impacts of these programs on the communities where the programs were implemented. The study included interviews with government officials, NGOs staff and beneficiaries in the field. The findings of study shows that programs in general have positive impacts and appreciated but a lot of work are needed to be done for the welfare of whole society. The recommendations were made as to the best practices of community development programs for policy makers and NGOs to improve the living standard of people in the country.

Strategic Goal

In the context of the deployment of transient processes and the exacerbation of crisis phenomena in socio-economic systems of various types, the importance of a reasonable setting and correction of development goals increases. For the current situation in the Russian Federation, when the implemented program of constitutional amendments creates the preconditions for the subsequent reform of public authorities and the mechanism of multi-level strategic planning, it is especially important to conduct research in the field of substantiating scientific approaches to the development of mathematical methods for solving the problem of strategic goal-setting. One of the key points in the modernization of the methodological support of strategic planning in the context of the constitutional transformation of the system of public authorities is consideration of the value foundations of activities in the systems of distributed management of socio-economic development, analysis of the problems of formalizing the setting of goals by the participants in the multi-level strategic planning process and substantiation of the structure of the theoretical model of goal-setting. The article considers the general characteristics of the functioning of the system of state strategic planning in the Russian Federation from the point of view of goal achievement. The institutional and conceptual foundations of goal setting are presented. The relationship between the concepts of “goal”, “target indicator” and “target function” are shown. The interrelation of the tasks of goal-setting and programming of the activity of an economic agent is characterized. An approach to formalizing goal-setting based on a theoretical scheme of mutual development planning tasks is proposed. The general structure of the strategic goal-setting model in the organizational mechanism of multi-level long-term planning determined. A possible approach to the algorithmization of the solution of the linear formulation of the goal-setting problem in the multisubject development control space based on the methods of target programming and multicriteria optimization was proposed. The formation of an operator of iterative management of the potentials and development priorities of interacting economic and social agents on the horizon of strategizing substantiated. To introduce a theoretical model of goal-setting into the practice of strategizing in the context of the formation of a digital platform of public administration, it is necessary to develop appropriate algorithmic support, as well as the formation of a regulatory and information base and the definition of an organizational and technological basis. Further improvement of the analytical and methodological tools for supporting the activities of strategic planning participants at the goal-setting stage is associated with the description and analysis of the corresponding applied tasks of goal setting at various levels and areas of socio-economic development planning.

Legal Forms

The social economy provides participation of local actors in territorial development and local collective economic activity in order to increase quality of life of the population. This sector is highly diversified, in terms of legal form, size of enterprises, sectors and impact. After 1990, the concept of multifunctional agriculture began to be implemented in the EU, according to which agriculture should fulfill, among others, a social and cultural-social function. To a greater or lesser extent, agriculture had a social function in the past. This role is currently extended and supported by the concept of social agriculture. The aim of the paper is to examine the scope of social entrepreneurship and agriculture as a part of the social economy and its legal forms and types in European countries. The main sources of data for the preparation of the paper were the European Commission's country reports entitled Social Enterprises and Their Ecosystems in Europe (2020) and OECD analytical materials. Main result of the research is the finding that the diversity of the social economy, based on the historical background of its development in individual countries, is extensive. Legal forms are regionally specific. The cooperative form is the most widespread legal form of the social economy. There are specific types of cooperatives in countries. Cooperatives are located more in the countryside (associations and foundations are relevant for the urban environment). Social agriculture widely operates in the cooperative form.

The Planning Act of 28 June 2006 prescribed that a reversible repository in a deep geological formation be chosen as the reference solution for the long-term management of high-level and intermediate-level long-lived radioactive waste. It also entrusted the responsibility of further studies and investigations on the siting and design of the new repository upon the French Radioactive Waste Management Agency (Agence nationale pour la gestion des de´chets radioactifs – Andra), in order for the review of the creation-licence application to start in 2015 and, subject to its approval, the commissioning of the new repository in 2025. In late 2009, Andra submitted to the French government proposals concerning the implementation and the design of Cige´o (Centre industriel de stockage ge´ologique). A significant step of the project was completed with the delineation of an interest zone for the construction of the repositor’s underground facilities in 2010. This year, Andra has launched a new dialogue phase with local actors in order to clarify the implementation scenarios on the surface. The selected site will be validated after the public debate that is now scheduled for the first half of 2013. This debate will be organized by the National Public Debate Committee (Commission nationale du de´bat public). In parallel, the State is leading the preparation of an territorial development scheme, which will be presented during the public debate. The 2009 milestone also constitutes a new step in the progressive design process of the repository. After the 1998, 2001 and 2005 iterations, which focused mainly on the long-term safety of the repository, the Dossier 2009 highlighted its operational safety, with due account of the non-typical characteristics of an underground nuclear facility. It incorporates the first results of the repository-optimisation studies, which started in 2006 and will continue in the future. The reversibility options for the repository constitute proposals in terms of added flexibility in repository management and in package-recovery levels. They orient the design of the repository in order to promote those reversibility components. They contribute to the dialogue with stakeholders in the preparation of the public debate and of the future act on the reversibility conditions of the repository. The development of the repository shall be achieved over a long period, around the century. Hence, the designer will acquire additional knowledge at every new development of the project, notably during Phase 1, which he may reuse during the following phase, in order, for instance, to optimise the project. This process is part of the approach proposed by Andra in 2009 pursuant to the reversibility principle.

The Impact

There is increasing interest in the role academic institutions can play as catalysts of change within the territories in which they are located, by contributing proactively to shaping socio-economic development processes. This role for universities takes us beyond the typical focus on knowledge transfer activities or broad economic impacts. It highlights in particular the contributions of ‘softer’ disciplines such as management, economics, the humanities and public policy. This paper explores this proactive strategic role for academia in regional development by means of an analysis of a particular case of institutional entrepreneurship in the Basque Country region of Spain. The telling of such stories is critical if we are to reach a better understanding of the impact universities can have in their regions beyond a quantitative, market-focused analysis.

Abstract This exhibition is dedicated to the regional problems of rural areas in Bulgaria. The European dimensions of the territorial development of rural areas and their role for the socio-economic development of the population are successively considered. Gradually, the focus shifts to Bulgaria, addressing the main challenges facing rural areas. The territorial problems in front of the settlements, the emerging demographic problems accompanied by internal migrations, are presented. An analysis was made about the problems with employment, the deteriorated social infrastructure, and other problems, which show the real picture of the rural areas in Bulgaria. The overall analysis reveals the needs of rural areas and the state of the population in it. Recommendations are proposed for the implementation of targeted policies for regional rural development.

Active Implementation

The current realities of economic development bring to the fore tools that can provide not so much quantitative growth as qualitative changes in economic systems at different levels. Competitive advantages can be achieved by innovative tools, the development of which can be hindered by a number of factors: lack of funding, qualified personnel, high taxes, unfair competition, etc. Against the background of these problems, the advantages of special economic zones, industrial parks, clusters, territories of advanced socio-economic development, disclosed in this article, are obvious. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the need for active implementation of innovative tools for territorial development in municipalities of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as in other regions of the Russian Federation, in order to activate innovative and investment activities in them. In terms of objectives, tasks of the article are: to describe an innovative infrastructure that defines territorial development in the Republic of Tatarstan; to investigate the basic results of activity of innovative tools for territorial development in the Republic of Tatarstan; to develop recommendations for implementation of innovative development of territories in the municipalities of the Republic of Tatarstan. Achieving this goal is realized through the use of research methods such as description, comparison, analysis, etc. The empirical basis of the study was data published on the websites of the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the Higher School of Economics, The Association of Clusters and Technoparks of Russia, and other materials. As a result of the research, the main tasks of ensuring positive progressive dynamics of the Republic of Tatarstan with the use of innovative tools for territorial development are formulated: SEZs, industrial sites, industrial parks, territories of advanced socio-economic development and others. The article pays close attention to the justification of the need for municipalities of the Republic of Tatarstan to use these innovative tools, which have proven their effectiveness as growth drivers for the development of territories.

Industry occupies a special place among the types of economic activity in any region. Projects for the development of backbone industrial enterprises in regions play a decisive role in the formation of their production specialization. Hence, the transition to project management in the development of regions most often means the implementation of appropriate measures in industry. The paper gives a definition of systemic projects, shows the conditions for their implementation, depending on the purpose of implementation and significance. The place of backbone projects in the development of industrial centers of the Republic of Bashkortostan is shown. Discrepancies are revealed in the list of projects included in the Strategy of Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of Bashkortostan, cities and municipal districts and in other regulatory documents aimed at accelerating territorial development. The solution of the following tasks is considered: determination of trends and patterns in the development of industry in the regions; identification of the main requirements for projects to develop industry in the regions of the country; survey of the existing package of projects for the development of this industry in Bashkiria; proposals for backbone projects in the industry of the republic. The implementation of projects takes place in different municipal regions and municipalities in different ways. In the Republic of Bashkortostan, more than 80 % of industrial production is concentrated in four cities - Ufa, Salavat, Sterlitamak and Neftekamsk. They also account for most of the investments. At the same time, investments in these cities enjoy all kinds of benefits. It was proposed to strengthen the benefits for projects located outside the zone of traditional industrial location and for new types of activities for the republic.

Purpose: In this article we present agroecological experiences in rural settlements in the municipality of Rio Bonito do Iguaçu, Paraná State, Brazil. By analyzing the advances and challenges of these initiatives, we aim to highlight the need for broader, systemic and multiscale actions in favor of building an agro-food system which promotes food and nutritional sovereignty and security of local/regional communities and thereby contributes to the development of territories. Methodology: This is a case study based on semi-structured qualitative interviews with settled families and representative entities. Findings: we observed that the practices have contributed to the construction of a socio-environmental consciousness, a more sustainable soil management, the increase of agrobiodiversity, improvement of health and income, as well as greater access to commercialization channels. Research Limitation: There are challenges and demands regarding training in agroecology, technical assistance, support in organizing farmer groups, financing, construction and consolidation of marketing channels for the income guarantees of families. Originality: A considerable mobilization of local actors was observed, which impacted the implementation of agroecological initiatives, but a more discrete participation of actors from other scales, which limits the enhancement of experiences as mechanisms of territorial development.
