The role of the municipal level in the country’s governance system is underestimated. Most of the rural areas are located far from the centers of socio-economic development with no ability for independent budget formation and the management of rural areas is carried out by untrained personnel. The Altai region has the largest number of rural municipalities and has agricultural specialization, so the subject of the article is the problems of rural areas’ development of agricultural specialization at the managerial level. The purpose of the study is to identify and substantiate the most important elements of rural areas to highlight it as an object of strategic planning. The directions and mechanisms of interaction should be taken into account in the complex programs of socio-economic development of rural areas, such approaches will attract investments to the territory, ensure the creation of new jobs and reduce the outflow of population to cities. The Altai territory is one of the pilot regions, where the use of digital technologies in agriculture is actively introduced, which emphasizes the importance of effective development of the region.

National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) aimed at providing direct employment to the deserving rural people has been in operation for last many years. The present study had conducted to assess the role of NREGA programme with the following specific objectives: (i) To study socio-economic profile of the beneficiaries of NREGA (ii) To assess the contribution of NREGA in socio-economic development of its beneficiaries (iii) To identify the factors of success and failure (iv) To render suitable suggestions for further improvement in the NREGA programme. Research gap of this study was to analyze the profitability of social programmes being initiated by governments. Results showed Socio-economic profile of the respondents that most of the respondents were male, in the middle age group, hailing from Schedule Caste category and were having little education and low income level. The profile of beneficiaries of NREGA programme indicated that the benefits of this programme is going to the deserving people. Rural connectivity (repair of roads etc.), village cleanliness, plantation were the major areas in which the NREGA beneficiaries worked under the supervision of a Mate. The village Sarpanch proved to be the major person who made aware to the beneficiary and helped them to get employment under this programme. On an average beneficiary of NREGA got employment for 15 days in a month. All the beneficiaries of the NREGA programme got prescribed wage i.e. Rs.123 per day which was paid timely to the respondents. 1/5th of the respondents held that dependency on the farmers had reduced after joining NREGA programme and also wage rate had increased in other activities in villages due to the arrival of NREGA programme. 38 per cent of the respondents opined that NREGA activities helped them to remove idleness whereas 25 per cent of respondents felt more social recognized after joining NREGA. Overall the launching of NREGA programme had increased the demand for labour in rural areas. The non beneficiary of NREGA programme did not join the NREGA largely due to social inhibition (not ready to do labour in own village), low wage rate and irregularity of work. Irregular grants and work opportunities, less wage rate were the major constrains experienced by the beneficiaries of NREGA. Regularity in grants, generating adequate employment opportunity may prove more useful for NREGA beneficiary and society at large.

AbstractThe objective of this work is to analyze the impact of seasonality on the socio-economic development of rural areas of the southern part of Karelia. This study is based on the field data obtained via semi-structured in-depth interviews with experts from the local community. The results show that the influence of seasonality is rather indirect, being a constituent of other factors: economic, infrastructural, institutional, social, etc. Although seasonality is most often perceived as a negative phenomenon regarding socio-economic development, modern types of economic activity characterized by a peak of activity in different seasons of the year mitigate the effect of seasonality and even benefit from being seasonal. Based on the materials collected, a typology of rural settlements of the southern part of Karelia based on the nature of the effect of seasonality has been developed (with a predominantly positive and predominantly negative effect).

The article attempts to consider the role of the timber industry in the development of the Finno-Ugric regions of the USSR, and then the Russian Federation during the second half of the 20th century through the prism of historiography. The purpose of the study is to determine the scientific contribution of specialists from various branches in the study of this topic. The relevance of the study is related to the fact that for many Finno-Ugric regions of Russia, including the Finno-Ugric regions, timber industry complex was and remains the basis of sustainable socio-economic development. The research methodology is based on traditional principles and methods for historiographic research. These include the principle of historicism, the problem-chronological and comparative historical methods. The study of the works of various authors on this topic allows us to distinguish three stages in the study of the problem. The first stage can be attributed to studies of the Soviet period, in which a lot of attention was paid to the technological, economic and historical features of the development of timber industry in the Finno-Ugric regions. However, many problems of development of timber industry in Finno-Ugric regions for various reasons have not been thoroughly studied. Since the late 1980s, and especially during the 1990s due to the combination of economic, political and cultural factors the role of timber industry in the development of the Finno-Ugric regions of Russia moved to the periphery of the interests of most researchers. However, in the early 2000s with the beginning of political and economic stabilization, it became necessary to reconsider the historical experience of socio-economic development in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, which led to a revival of interest among researchers and specialists in the subject matter. Analysis of the research has shown that the role of timber industry as a tool for the development of Finno-Ugric regions has not yet received a comprehensive analysis.

And Performance

All definitions of the natural environment’s potential provided by the literature highlight the role of humans as entities making use of environmental resources. The natural environment creates conditions for life processes to occur by supplying raw materials and energy required to satisfy various human needs. It provides a basis and a precondition for socio-economic development. It is, however, difficult to define the natural environment’s potential in its entirety, therefore the study focused on the resource-and-performance aspect of this potential. Hence, the article aims at identifying the relationships between the level of the natural environment’s potential and the level of socio-economic development of communes. The study involved communes located in Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship. The study was carried out in several stages and involved an analysis of the level of the natural environment’s potential as well as of the meta-indicator that shows the socio-economic determinants of communes in a synthetic manner. The analysis of the relationships between the level of the natural environment’s potential and the socio-economic development was performed using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient.
