The deep changes in the development of the Ukrainian rural sector under the influence of gaining political independence, carrying out agrarian and land reforms, full replacement of state power and phased reform of the administrative-territorial system are analyzed. It has been established that the rural sector of Ukraine covers two key components: the industrial-branch (primary production and technologically related industries) and socio-territorial (rural and small urban settlements with population, objects of social sphere and territory as spatial basis of primary production). Asymmetry of their development lies in the fact that the food complex enhances production, but this is not accompanied by an increase in living standards and quality of the rural population living environment. In recent years, the rural sector has a number of new challenges and acute problems that require in-depth research and development and implementation of measures to overcome asymmetry in its development based on a number of innovations. Among the innovations are the completion of the administrative-territorial system post-soviet reform, the gradual shift of the responsibility center for the development of the rural sector into the combined territorial and rural communities; the continuation of systemic safety methods implementation at primary production and completion farms at processing and food enterprises; Significant increase in the volume of local budgets as a result of management decentralization and the fiscal system, capitalization of natural resources and non-performing objects, introduction of local taxes; the active development of families and farms, and especially on lands that will be transferred to the jurisdiction of the united communities, and the revival of agricultural activity on abandoned lands grappling with the deserted villages, etc. The brainstorming and overcoming the consequences of destructive processes in rural areas, and especially in crisis zones, should ensure the implementation by united communities of measures to create favorable conditions for the placement of non-agrarian activities, the inclusion of small farms in production and distribution chains, the creation of professional mini-associations of food producers, agricultural production and service cooperatives for the purpose of labor-intensive production operations prompt execution, timely collection and sales of grown products, assistance in solving domestic problems of rural population, facilitating the accessibility of remote village residents to basic services, etc. Areas of research in the rural sector are systematized, in the course of which implementation of the results will ensure the strengthening of sustainable development of rural areas. Among them: methodical recommendations for assessing the productive potential of rural communities and ensuring the increase of tax revenues to the budgets of the combined territorial communities, taking into account the availability of rural assets (natural resources, minerals, other objects) and their inclusion in the economic circulation; the development of conceptual foundations, the formation of economic echanisms and tools for supporting families and farms, which will be organized on unoccupied agricultural lands, as well as on the basis of labor generations revitalization; improvement of existing mechanisms and tools for managing the development of the rural sector in order to increase the effectiveness of the new administrative-territorial organization system and self-organization of citizens; formation of an effective model of small farms involvement in the production of final food products and its promotion in production and distribution chains, etc. Key words: rural sector, industrial-branch component, socio-territorial component, rural territories, challenges and problems, asymmetry and balanced development, united territorial and rural / domestic communities, depressive zones, family and farming farms.

The present chapter aimed at making out the possibility of sustainable rural development by husbanding precious resources in the rural areas, particularly the rural areas of the Central Karakoram zone in Pakistan. For this purpose, a qualitative research design was manipulated in order to decipher the maximum chance of attaining rural sustainability in these areas through a thorough perusal of various relevant past studies. Hence, the information, gleaned from the archival sources and elucidated hermeneutically, signified a high level of effectiveness of the economical use of natural resources for retaining sufficient and passable degree of sustainability in the rural areas. Consequently, the hermeneutic assertions, made by the researcher of this study, accentuated the inculcation of numerous assorted customary husbandry methods, adopted and employed by the pure traditional rural communities, among the modern rural population of the Central Karakoram zone in Pakistan as well in order to enhance the possibility of arriving at the rural sustainability in these areas. Recognizing the value of certain reliable husbandry practices, the study deemed and estimated a maximum accomplishment of targets set out for attaining sustainable rural development all around the world, particularly in the Central Karakoram zone in Pakistan.

Human capital is an economic category which is increasingly applied in the models of economic growth and development. Many studies have demonstrated its positive effect on economic development at the national and regional levels. The level of development of rural areas is also strongly correlated with the human factor. The objective of the study was to carry out a quantitative and qualitative diagnosis of the situation of human capital across rural areas in Poland and to indicate the main challenges associated with the shaping of this capital in the context of economic growth simulation. The method used to meet the objective was a review of source literature and an analysis of statistical data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS) with the application of dynamics and structure indices. In the course of research, it was established that the main trends affecting the situation of human resource capital across rural areas in Poland are: the ageing of the rural population, as a dominant negative trend, and a systematic, though slow, increase in the level of education, as a dominant positive trend. It was determined that unfavorable demographic transformations of rural communities involve the risk of limiting economic activities of the elderly, and at the same time, also a decrease in their economic independence and an increase in the social burden resulting therefrom. On the other hand, the observed rise in the level of education and economic activity may accelerate the beneficial transformations of the area structure of agricultural farms, for it contributes to the acceleration of migration of the rural population to other, non-agricultural professions. In this context, taking actions, both nationally and regionally, aiming at increasing qualifications of rural (including agricultural) populations constitutes a vital opportunity, which increases intellectual potential and competitiveness across the country and its individual regions.

Integrated Cost

For sustainable development an integrated cost-effective approach focused on the goal of health and environmental protection is necessary. In Iran more than 22 million people live in rural communities. A little more than 92% of the rural population in Iran have access to safe drinking water supply, but only less than 0.2% have sanitary wastewater disposal system. Groundwater is the main resource of water supply in rural communities in Iran and contaminated or untreated groundwater can be the major reason for waterborne diseases outbreak and wastewater discharge is the main cause of groundwater contamination. In new strategy in Iran's wastewater company, the importance of wastewater treatment is equal to water treatment in rural communities and the main goal in this section is providing sanitary wastewater disposal system for 8% of rural areas until 2010 and 30% until 2020. One of the most important limitations for establishment of wastewater disposal system is the limitation of governmental funds. For this reason, a national program was performed for ranking of rural communities with the goal of improving the funding effectiveness in wastewater management in rural communities. Many important criteria were considered for determination of priorities, these criteria include: population, population density, water consumption and wastewater generation, wastes disposal systems at present, environmental and health risks, agricultural and industrial wastewater, social conditions specially public participation, investment simplicity and type of living (seasonal or permanent). For collection of information about rural community, according to the criteria, a questionnaire was designed with 40 quantified questions. Questionnaires completed for all rural areas with more than 400 people population (more than 77% of rural population of the country). Completed questionnaires were analyzed with specific software for ranking of villages according to above mentioned criteria. Right now the classification of villages is available in provinces of the country from environmental and health crisis and funding points of view and we know whereabouts have priority for establishment of wastewater installations.

Abstract We are very happy to bring you the proceedings of the first International Conference of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Rural Development (ICANaRD). This conference is intended to maintain knowledge exchange on policy support that allows for improving resource management for agricultural competitiveness towards progressive, self-reliance, and modern agriculture. The theme of 1st ICANaRD is “Enhancing Agricultural Competitiveness through Better Resource Management for Farmers’ Welfare” to address critical issues, innovative methods, and accountable measures to formulate strong policy support for sustainable an inclusive agricultural development. The conference was held virtually on 27-28 July 2021, hosted by the Indonesian Center for Agriculture Socio Economic and Policy Studies (ICASEPS), Ministry of Agriculture. The conference was organized in collaboration with the Indonesian Society of Agricultural Economics (ISAE). Agriculture and rural sector remain to be major economic drivers at which agricultural producers and rural economies need to be supported through appropriate policies. Policy support should allow a fair agricultural product competitiveness, both for local markets and for global trade. With all challenges faced by stakeholders in rural areas, the availability of resources needs to be inclusively managed to meet the right balance between economic growth, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability. High recognition on this condition would lead to key elements as foundation to recreate appropriate policy, institutional role, and financial support to promote agricultural resource competitiveness for sustainable and inclusive development of rural sector.

Romanian rural area includes most of the territory of Romania, according to statistics, accounting for 87.1% of the total. Romanian rural economy is still largely agrarian, because in Romania the agricultural economy itself has a weight of 60.5% in its structure, compared to only 14.1% in the EU Deep structural causes distorted Romanian rural economy and rural population has a similar structure by sector (primary sector 64.2%, of which 56.6% agriculture, 18.5% secondary sector, tertiary sector 17.3%). Romanian-scale rural non-farm economy, has a low weight and rural tourism in all its variants, except for some mountain areas (Bran - Moeciu, Apuseni, Maramures, Bucovina) and the Danube Delta is almost nonexistent (11,000 beds in about 1,600 rural locations). The main objectives of the research were: overall characterization of the Romanian rural economy, showing the evolution of the structure of the rural economy in Macro-region 2 of Romania and identify differences between the structures of the rural economy nationally and regionally. In this context, we took into account agricultural activities (in the vegetal and animal sector) and non-agricultural activities suitable for each area (region). This article was prepared by using various sources of information, both quantitative and qualitative, such as: official statistics on national and territorial profile; analysis, reports and local studies; the information included in the rural development plans and national strategies; regional and local qualitative information obtained through direct communication with local stakeholders. Romanian agrarian structures are strongly polarized, about 40% of the agricultural area (UAA) of Romania is 2.5 to 2,800,000 small and very small farms (less than 5 ha), 40% of the UAA of the country, that area from 3.8 to 4.0 million ha is owned by 800 large farms (with area of ​​over 1,000 ha each) and 20% of Romania's UAA holdings surface is comparable to the European Union (5 - 50 ha). The structure of the rural economy in the Macro-region 2 of Romania, like the national level, reveals the dominance of agriculture as the main activity, but also a significant degree of development of agriculture related activities. The importance and need for diversified rural economy and rural areas based on multifunctionality based start being more obvious in Romania of 2013, maintaining the social and ecological agriculture, especially for reasons of self-healing micro-regional level, but developing income-generating agricultural activities, efficient and competitive. Keeping the family farm is the subject of European rural policy term. This also applies to less direct interventions aimed at grouping small farms economically viable units, but rather to stimulate the diversification of activities in these areas. In a broader context, it tends to recognize equally diversification requirements, the economic base in rural areas, and to drive public service by providing the rural population.

Abstract “Everyone knows everyone” is a recurring characteristic in descriptions of rural communities, one that has been interpreted as both a benefit and a drawback in research on such localities. In response to that discrepancy, this paper investigates the overall statistical effect of social transparency on residents’ desire to continue living in their rural communities. As revealed by analyses of survey data representing a national sample of Norway’s rural population in 2016, social transparency did significantly increase respondents’ desire to maintain residency in their rural communities. In providing and explaining such results, the paper contributes to current understandings of social conditions that influence rural (non-)migration and rural resilience.

New Rurality

ABSTRACTThe "new rurality" means not only the influence of neoliberal policies in Europe and America have had in rural areas but as, fundamentally, the relationship of reciprocity or resistance that exists between the social and business actors , Indians, peasants and the state in ideological aspects of geographic nature (the urbanization of the countryside, for example), political (the effacement of the other as a peasant, the loss of their identity), economic (the presence of transnational corporations controlling agricultural production and livestock), cultural (the loss of "tradition" as a category that implies the conservation of values and norms of behavior, etc.), religious (paradigm shifts in relation to the concepts of land and property they provide and the breakdown of the relationship man - earth man - nature). Three categories are fundamental in relation to the study of living conditions of the rural population in the above mentioned context: a) the phenomena of "resistance" to the peasants, men and women have faced in terms of policies misnamed "rural development"; b) the erasure by canceling their traditions and their identity c) the phenomenon of hybridization as a result of reciprocity in the integration processes of different models of life. Such categories are widely developed from evidence inductive section through which sets the type of life they live in rural communities where the effects of urban population growth affect everyday and engages.RESUMENSe entiende la “nueva ruralidad” no sólo como la influencia de las políticas neoliberales que tanto en Europa como en América han tenido en el medio rural1 sino como, y fundamentalmente, la relación de reciprocidad o resistencia que se establece entre los actores sociales y empresariales, indígenas, campesinos y el Estado en aspectos ideológicos de índole geográfico ( la urbanización del campo, por ejemplo), político ( el borramiento del otro como campesino; la pérdida de su identidad), económico (la presencia de empresas transnacionales controlando la producción agrícola y ganadera), cultural (la pérdida de la “tradición” como categoría que implica la conservación de valores y normas de comportamiento, etc.), religioso (los cambios de paradigma en relación con las concepciones de la tierra y los bienes que éstos proveen y la ruptura de la relación hombre – tierra; hombre – naturaleza). Tres categorías son fundamentales en relación con el estudio de las condiciones de vida de la población rural en el contexto arriba señalado: a) los fenómenos de “resistencia” que los campesinos, hombres y mujeres, han tenido que enfrentar en función de las políticas del mal llamado “desarrollo rural”; b) el borramiento que implica la anulación de sus tradiciones y de su identidad y c) el fenómeno de hibridación como conse-cuencia de la reciprocidad en los procesos de integración de modelos de vida distintos. Tales categorías serán ampliamente desarrolladas a partir de las evidencias de corte inductivo a través de las cuales se configura el tipo de vida que viven las poblaciones rurales donde los efectos del crecimiento poblacional urbano día a día los afectan y los involucra.

The article is devoted to the problems of development of rural territories. Considered topical issues, the reasons for imperfect infrastructure support, analysis and proposed ways to overcome the problems of rural lag in the development of social infrastructure. Various scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concept of social infrastructure have been investigated. The article contains the results of researches of the rural sector of Ukraine in the context of the region – the Kiev region. The functions of the socio-territorial subsystem, which provides functioning of the rural sector, and its connection with the processes of reproduction of the labor force are analyzed. The results of the analysis based on the settlement of the rural population, social conditions of the peasants' life, living conditions and the tendencies of its reproduction are contained. The study of statistical data, allowed to highlight certain changes that arose on the basis of structural changes and dynamics of the rural population of the Kiev region. Are identified regions of the Kiev region, which can be attributed to a group of depressive according to the age category of residents living in them, based on the analysis of natural movement, migration and development prospects of rural settlements. According to the statistics of the natural movement and migration of the rural population, the aging of the nation and high mortality rates are also noted. The list of objects of social purpose is presented, and attention is focused on provision of rural settlements with these objects and networks of engineering infrastructure. An example of the administrative and economic centers of the metropolitan region, analysis and description (distance, number of flights, centers of social services) of the transport accessibility of service centers for non-central villagers has been carried out. The studies allowed to study the network of social infrastructure of rural settlements, as a result of which the areas of commercialization of social sectors, including utilities and engineering infrastructure, were identified. It is proved that infrastructure provision creates preconditions for the socio-economic development of rural areas and the country as a whole. Key words: rural territories, development, social infrastructure, quality of life, services.
