From the beginning of the 21st century, interest in vineyards and the production of wine from own grapes has increased in Poland, both from the demand and supply side. For many vineyard owners, this is a hobby that is unrelated to the professional work. The aim of this study is to identify the most important determinants that are beneficial to the development of wine-making and wine tourism in Poland. The analysis of secondary sources was used, including data collected by the Polish Agricultural Market Agency (since 2018 National Support Centre for Agriculture), the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OiV) and the Institute for Market Research GfK Polonia. It was found that the most important factors favouring the development of vines and vineyards in Poland are: global warming; production of more resistant vine strains; increased experience and skills of vineyard owners in the area of viticulture and wine production; activities of non-profit organizations related to vineyards; inclusion of Poland into the EU zone as a country with wine potential; legislative changes; promotion of Polish viticulture; increased wine consumption and the search for innovative and profitable forms of agriculture in rural areas.

Este trabalho realizou uma análise sobre a prática do turismo no semiárido nordestino, mais precisamente na região vinícola localizada nos estados de Pernambuco e Bahia. O que preexistiu por décadas foi uma apropriação do espaço pela agricultura de subsistência. A partir da prática da agricultura moderna e de atividades não agrícolas, o meio rural brasileiro tem sofrido transformações, envolvendo atividades do setor de serviços, inclusive o turismo, que oferece possibilidades de melhoria de vida, ao oferecer renda complementar às atividades primárias como agricultura, pecuária e extrativismo. Esses serviços instalam-se no meio rural, estabelecendo novas relações, tornando-o diferenciado. Objetivou-se analisar as dinâmicas do turismo no Vale do São Francisco, observando novas práticas, fluxos e ocupação do espaço rural, com implantação de novas estruturas turísticas. A pesquisa possui abordagem qualitativa e foi realizada por meio de levantamento e análise bibliográfica, além do trabalho de campo desenvolvido pela técnica da observação participante junto aos empresários, agentes de governos e instituições ligadas à vinicultura e ao turismo. O Vale desenvolve agricultura irrigada para mercados nacionais e internacionais, possui característica climática peculiar, pois necessita de irrigação devido ao baixo índice pluviométrico. Assim, torna-se possível programar colheitas e obter 2,5 safras ao ano. Impulsionada pelos projetos de agronegócio, a região atrai investimentos de vinícolas internacionais, gerando euforia pouco comum em cidades do sertão, normalmente marcadas pela seca e baixo índice de desenvolvimento humano. Apostando na produção de vinhos, poder público e empresários voltam-se para estruturação do enoturismo. Destacam-se cinco vinícolas que, aliadas à tecnologia, possuem vinhos premiados internacionalmente. Com visitas agendadas, turistas podem conhecer sistema de produção e fazer degustações. O turismo valorizou o espaço local, contudo ainda se apresenta de forma singular em vias de consolidação. Reveste-se de forte refinamento, recriando o espaço a partir de ações cada vez mais artificiais para realizar desejos dos visitantes. Embora grandes proprietários estejam se unindo em torno da atividade e se beneficiando mais diretamente das políticas de fomento, esta não é a realidade vivenciada pelos pequenos produtores, empregados e artesãos locais. Portanto, o mundo rural possui um expressivo dinamismo e é, cada vez mais, heterogêneo. Deve ser compreendido como elo essencial entre o rural e a dinâmica urbana, integrando o meio rural ao conjunto da sociedade com objetivo de assegurar os contatos sociais. Essa multifuncionalidade e diversificação do meio rural constituem uma nova forma de organização dessas atividades agrícolas aliadas à prática do turismo. Multifunctionality in rural Brazilian: the tourism in wine region of the São Francisco Valley ABSTRACT This paper conducted an analysis of the practice of tourism in the northeast semiarid, specifically in the wine region in the states of Pernambuco and Bahia. For decades there was an appropriation of space for subsistence agriculture. Through the practice of modern agriculture and/or non-agricultural activities, the rural areas in Brazil have undergone transformations, including services like tourism that enables an improvement in life conditions when providing complementary income to the primary activities such as agriculture, livestock and extractivism. These services emerge in rural areas, establishing relations, changing its characteristics. São Francisco Valley develops irrigated agriculture seeking the aiming the national and international market, it has a peculiar climate since it needs to be irrigated due to the low rainfall. This way, it is possible to schedule and obtain 2,5 harvests a year. Stimulated by the agribusiness projects, the regions attract investments from international wineries, changing the dynamic of hinterland cities usually characterized by drought and low human development index. Relying on wine production, the government and businessmen focus on the organization of wine tourism. The aim is to analyze the tourist dynamic in the São Francisco Valley, studying new practices, flows and occupation in rural areas with the implementation of new tourist facilities. The research has a qualitative approached and was conducted through bibliographical analysis and field research developed by the participant observation technique with entrepreneurs, government and institutions related to wineries and tourism. Due to the tourism, the space has been recreated to fulfill the visitors’ needs and expectation, however it is still in the process of consolidation. Although the landowners are involved in the activity and getting benefits directly from development policies, these benefits are not experienced by the small producers, employees and local artisans. Therefore, the rural areas have an expressive dynamism and it is increasingly heterogeneous. This multifunctionality and diversification of rural areas constitute a new form of organization of these agricultural activities together with tourism.

Wine tourism, as a model of sustainable economic development in certain areas, is able to boost the competitiveness of a territory, improve wine production, respect the environment, and improve the living conditions of citizens. In this sense, this work will present an overview of this type of tourism worldwide and nationally, focusing on the province of Malaga. The diversification of the tourist industry has promoted the appearance, or extension, of new tourist activities beyond the typical activities associated with beach or cultural tourism. This has resulted in new job creation and new income generation options. Wine tourism promises and delivers a complete sensory experience, as tourists experience the consumption of wine from all senses: taste, smell, touch, sight, and sound. This experience is not limited to the consumption of the wine, but also includes the experience of a visit to wineries or vineyards, together with the necessary lodging, depending on location. In this way, the grouping of activities and the development of tourist routes stimulate cooperation between different companies in rural areas. Thus, we propose that tourism is a means by which economic and social development can be achieved in these areas and regeneration strategies can be implemented.

Purpose. Assessing agro-climatic conditions for wine growing in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship and presenting selected conditions for the development of wine tourism. Methods. The main factors influencing the possibilities of wine tourism development were identified on the basis of existing data on the climate of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, tourist traffic statistics and applicable formal and legal conditions related to viticulture as well as wine production and sales in Poland. Findings. Potential areas with agroclimatic conditions that are favourable for viticulture were identified in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, and the areas that are most predestined for the development of wine tourism were selected in the region due to the analysed factors. Research and conclusions limitations. The limited number of meteorological stations and their uneven distribution in the voivodeship prevented the separation of additional sub-areas of viticulture due to varied physiographic conditions. The considerations were based on existing archival data and legal acts. So far, no empirical research has been conducted among winemakers in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The next stage of research should involve confronting the presented applications with the experience of vineyard owners in the field of their business Practical implications. The presented considerations and conclusions may encourage farmers and investors to establish new vine plantations, as well as contribute to raising the local and regional authorities’ awareness of the fact that wine tourism can be a factor positively affecting residents’ standard of living. Originality. The West Pomeranian Voivodeship is one of the most visited regions in Poland, however, tourist traffic is concentrated in a narrow coastal zone. The vast majority of publications on tourism development problems relate to this area, and only a few deal with the lake zone. Furthermore, arable lands are treated marginally in tourism-related research. Type of paper. The article is based on archival data and a review of literature.

Formulation of the problem. Winemaking in ATU Gagauzia is a strategic industry. The share of wine-making in the total industrial production of ATU Gagauzia is 60 per cent. The wine-making potential is represented by 16 wine-making enterprises. However, not all of them are ready to accept tourists and develop wine tourism. Setting the task, the purpose of the study. The study aimed to identify the heritage of wine tourism in the ATU Gagauzia, with the main aim of elaborating development strategies for the wine tourism potential and ensuring a sustainable regional development. Presentation of the main material (results of work). Viticulture and wine tourism (enotourism) is currently a promising and profitable direction for the development of rural tourism in rural areas. It includes not only learning the technology of growing grapes, wine production, but also learning the history, culture, and traditions of the region. The wine tourism, as part of rural tourism, directly contributes to the development of regional economic. In the EU policy, the development of enotourism plays an important role in the development of wine-makers services and employment growth in rural areas. Factors contributing to the development of wine tourism in ATU Gagauzia are: a special combination of climatic and soil conditions creates a favorable terroir for winemaking; high industry concentration of production and a wide assortment line of wine products; availability of development potential associated with viticulture and viniculture tourism: rural, environmental, gastronomic and ethnographic. Conclusions. There are three main strategic goals of development of the potential of viticulture and wine tourism in atu Gagauzia: development of tourist destinations of Gagauzia based on active wineries; formation of attractions (hotel and restaurant business, museums, folk crafts, concert organizations, and theater) around "zones of attraction" - wineries; promoting the emergence and development of network interaction of the main players of tourism development.

The regional difference of complex Indian social structure and customs have a different impact on the nature of women’s work participation. The present study aims at unravelling the influence of social, cultural and economic forces in differentiating the level of women work participation in different eco-regions of West Bengal. The study is based purely on secondary sources and data have been collected from the Census of India. It is in the rural areas that the female work participation is directly linked to agriculture and allied activities and the study confines itself to an understanding of work participation of women only in the rural areas. The modern technological implication as a result of green revolution has a worse impact on women work participation particularly in the South Bengal plain and some parts of East Rarh Plain region. The high gender gap is noticed in Nadia district located in the middle part of South Bengal Plain causes very high withdrawn of female from there. Effect of socioeconomic variables, work participation of Scheduled component in main economic activity is also varied from the non-scheduled component. Non-scheduled worker participated more in non-agricultural sector rather than the scheduled counter parts. Subsequently, the low growth rate of female work participation represents a distress picture in work force structure which is a cause of worried also.

Tourism has become a priority in national and regional development policies and is considered a source of economic growth, particularly in rural areas. Nowadays, wine tourism is an important form of tourism and has become a local development tool for rural areas. Regional tourism development studies based on wine tourism have a long history in several countries such as the US and Australia, but are more recent in Europe. Although Spain is a leading country in the tourism industry, with an enormous wine-growing tradition, the literature examining the economic impact of wine tourism in Spanish economy is scarce. In an attempt to fill this gap, the main objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of wine tourism on economic growth and employment in Spain. More specifically, by applying panel data techniques, we study the economic impact of tourism in nine Spanish wine routes in the period from 2008 to 2018. Our results suggest that tourism in these wine routes had a positive effect on economic growth. However, we do not find clear evidence of a positive effect on employment generation.

Abstract The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) marks the new, advanced era of development in humankind, and globally countries are in the process of ensuring their citizenry’s readiness. In South Africa, various governmental departments, organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and non-profit organisations (NPOs) are making efforts, through their plans, talks and actions, to attain this status for all her people, particularly women in rural areas. However, the development of women in the rural areas for empowerment remains a concern in developing countries. Consequently, there is a dire need to ensure the developmental status for women in rural areas in the advent of the 4IR, and this paper seeks to demonstrate that information and knowledge may be instrumental in empowering women in rural areas to strive in the 4IR. Accordingly, information and knowledge are a critical resource contributing to the empowerment of women in rural areas for their development. An exploratory question is raised to determine whether South Africa is ready for Fourth Industrial Revolution. The outcome of this paper will contribute to the body of knowledge advocating the importance of information and knowledge in the empowerment of women in rural areas. Significantly, it will generate insights for policymakers on the important role of information and knowledge for women’s development.

The paper’s main aim is to assess the measures implemented within the Rural Development Program (RDP) 2007–2013 in Poland. This programme is dedicated to the diversification of business activities in rural areas and rural livelihood and, thus, the improvement of the multifunctionality of rural areas. The analysis covered two measures from Axis 3, Improvement of the quality of life in rural areas and diversification of rural economy: M311, diversification into non-agricultural activities; and M312, Establishment and development of micro-enterprise. The study and the discussion are presented from a geographical perspective and, in a broader context, take into account several conditions (natural, urban, agricultural and historical) and the spatial diversity of the allocation of European Union (EU) funds. Models of a policy of multifunctional rural development, implemented after accession to the EU, are presented. The research’s spatial scope covers Poland’s territory on two spatial scales: the system of regions (16 NUTS2 units) and poviats (314 LAU level 1 units). The analysis covers all the projects implemented in Poland under the two measures of Axis 3 of the RDP 2007–2013. A set of conditions was prepared for all LAU1 units, forming the background for assessing the impact of the EU funds on the development of non-agricultural activities. To determine the relationship between the RDP measures and the selected groups of conditions, a synthetic index and a correlation index are used. They are also used to determine the mutual relations between the two analyzed activities in terms of the spatial scales used. Access to the EU funds (RDP) has considerably enlarged the opportunities for accelerating agricultural modernisation and restructuration towards multifunctional development, as well as the opportunities for implementing new development and work methods in the countryside in Poland. The attractiveness of the two studied RDP measures varied across regions. The beneficiaries’ activity depended on the local potential (resources), culture and tradition of the region, and size and potential of the farm. In the areas where agriculture is deeply rooted, beneficiaries were more willing to engage in ventures tapping into the resources available in their farms. Thus, they create additional livelihood of income and workplaces for household members. In turn, the beneficiaries from the areas where farms are smaller and economically weaker often undertake activities related to setting up a new business (outside farming).
