Women's participation in the socio-economic activities of rural areas has been frequently underestimated. However, in recent years there is a clear awareness of public authorities that women’s inclusion in strategies for the economic revitalisation of the rural world is essential to fix population and generate income and employment in this territory. The objective of this paper focuses on determining the economic contribution of women to the development of rural areas of the Spanish region of Castilla y León. It analyses the relationship between the degree of development of rural communities and the socioeconomic characteristics of women who live in those territories. The analysis follows a methodology based on three types of multivariate techniques: the principal component analysis, the multiple regression analysis and the analysis of clusters. The results show that the economic and social participation of women in rural areas is a precondition to achieve a higher level of welfare and development in these areas.

Explanatory Factors

This article aims at investigating and measuring the economic resilience of local communities (43 urban and 403 rural) in Romania. The study focuses on the implications of the deep economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2011 and explores the capacity of Romanian local economies in the North-West region to respond to these events. The research consists of developing an appropriate framework for assessing and quantifying community economic resilience, based on previous research of existing literature, and of measuring local economic development through a composite indicator by aggregating a series of variables using principal component analysis. The results show some striking differences between urban and rural communities in terms of impact, recovery, and performance compared with a pre-crisis level. Through regression analysis we were able to not only identify the determinants/explanatory factors for high-impact resilience that helped the recovery after an economic shock, but also the resilience drivers for ‘bouncing forward’ after the crisis, for both urban and rural communities. Our findings show an interesting change in the regional economy: some economic activities from the large urban areas in Romania moved to the nearby rural areas.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the factors that explain consumers purchasing behavior towards organic food products in Ambato (Ecuador). Methodology: Data were collected from a survey of 1,500 organic consumers and other 1,500 consumers who prefer conventional foods, and analyzed using multivariate techniques. Results: Principal component analysis identified four factors which explain the buying behavior of organic consumers: Belief in health benefits, quality and taste attributes; belief in environmental benefits; and contextual issues. Cluster analysis identified three groups of organic consumers: organic consumers interested in self benefit and highly influenced by contextual aspects (Group I), organic consumers interested in expected environment benefits (Group II) and organic consumers very interested in self benefits and less affected by contextual aspects (Group III). The relationships established in organic consumers are different to conventional consumers. This defines different variables that explain the purchase process. The socio-demographics profiles were different in gender and occupation; women and free license workers were more frequently interested in buying organic foods. Limitations: The study was carried out in the city of Ambato that could be considered representative of the Ecuadorian urban society. The results should be complemented by future studies focused on other cities or rural areas. Practical implications: Results suggest that the Ecuadorian organic sector follows the developing patterns identified in the Western countries. This implies that the promotion and practical support for the organic sector should be focused on strengthening positive attitudes towards organic purchases.

Productive Factor

El teletrabajo supone una vía radicalmente nueva en la introducciónde factores productivos en el territorio. En este sentido, el tránsito de un paradigma productivo basado en los factores de inversión en infraestructuras pesadas y de concentración, como ha sido el industrial, a otro en el que la concentración del factor productivo se plantea en la capacidad de agrupar conocimiento y facilidad de comunicación y procesamiento de la información supone un enorme potencial de desterritorialización de la economía. Las posibilidades para el mundo rural se abren de forma clara: ya no es necesario hacer inversiones multimillonarias en infraestructuras, ni concentrar millones de personas en un mismo lugar para realizar una actividad determinada. Ahora, lo que es necesario es invertir en cultura y conocimiento del uso de las TIC orientados a potenciar las actividades económicas propias y las potenciales. Ese es el reto para que el último paradigma socioproductivo no pase también de largo del mundo rural.  Abstract Teleworking constitutes a radical new way in order to introduce newproductive factors in the local area. Meaning that, the transit from aproductive scheme based on concentration and investment factors for heavy infrastructure —the industrial model— to a different model that implies the concentration of the productive factor as the capacity to compilate knowledge and communication and information tools, means an enormous potential to decentralize economy. The possibilities for the rural world are clear: there is no need for infrastructure multimillionaire investments, there is no need for concentrating millions of persons in a concrete place for doing a concrete activity. At the present time the investment required is about culture and knowledge for the TIC use, oriented to promote economic activities. That is the objective for the lastsocioproductive scheme, if the rural World is not going to be excluded again.

<p><strong><em>Abstract. </em></strong><em>Education is a process of improvement, strengthening, and refinement of all human potential and potential . Through education, life is expected to experience a change to a better direction. Although the government's efforts in equitable education have been done, but in reality there are still many Indonesian people, especially those who are in the countryside have not received education. Under these conditions, innovations needed to address the potential of rural areas that can support the assurance of increased knowledge through non-formal education for the sustainability of economic activities in rural areas. Therefore, Indonesia needs non-formal education innovation with local content that is Kampung Pendidikan. A social movement project initiated by the youth of the village (Inspirator) as a manifestation of awareness to improve the living standards of rural communities through character education and competitiveness that involves the community to take part in advancing education by learning and innovating by putting forward local content (Local Culture ) to participate in contributing to build Indonesia. There are several Kampung Pendidikan programs: DIDIKMASYARAKAT (Collaboration and Synergy), DIDIKPEMUDA (Global Thinking, Acting Local), DIDIKKAMPUNG. Based on research conducted in Desa Kuajang, Binuang District Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi, the local community, desperately needs the presence of Kampung Pendidikan as a forum to build the potential of both the village of human resources, as well as natural resources.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: Kampung Pendidikan, rural, education.</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstrak. </strong>Pendidikan merupakan proses perbaikan, penguatan, dan penyempurnaan terhadap semua kemampuan dan potensi manusia.Melalui pendidikan, diharapkan kehidupan akan mengalami perubahan ke arah yang lebih baik.

The Impact

In the last two decades, pollution in the river Ganga has become a serious issue, affecting the socio-economic activities and the health of the communities living on the banks and adjacent areas of the river. The impact has been greater on women, because their day-to-day activities for survival are intimately connected with this water resource. The response of the government has been to drastically improve its environmental policies. Social activists on the other hand continued to mobilize civil society in regional protests, which finally led to the beginning of the ‘Save Ganga’ movement. Yet, both the strategies to clean the river pollution have been colossal failures. An analysis was undertaken of various government policies, reports and court judgements on the river’s pollution and a primary survey was done on three sites: Garhwal in Uttarakhand and in Varanasi and Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh to gauge the nature of women’s participation in the movements. It was found that there was greater participation by women in the hilly Garhwal region than in the plains of Uttar Pradesh. The research proved that women’s knowledge and experiences in environmental conservation had led to greater sustainability, in contrast to the results of the modern-technocratic approach of state officials and so-called environmentalists. The article seeks to locate the failure of the project of cleaning the river to the lack of gender sensitive environmental policies and insufficient participation of women in ecological activism.

This paper  intends to explain the role of non-normal education in empowering women to improve the family economy. Empowerment is an approach in which women are provided with educational or training services so that they have a set of venture capital to improve their economic conditions. This research was conducted using qualitative research methods, namely describing the phenome of the implementation of women's empowerment through non-formal education to improve the family economy as developed by Pahlawan Ekonomi (PE) in the city of Surabaya. The implication of empowering women is the acquisition of a new set of knowledge, experiences, skills, and attitudes so that participants are able to apply them in their daily lives to increase their income. Economic activities in the family are generally the responsibility of the husband, but not all families are able to meet their needs if they only rely on their income from the husband. Wives (women) generally only receive what their husband's income is, even though women have the potential to participate in increasing family income. It is time for the participation of women (wives) in improving the family economy to be developed. Women do not only depend on their husband's economic income, but on how they also play a role in supporting the improvement of the family economy. Women's participation in increasing the family economy should start from empowering women through education or training that is suitable for their situation and condition.Education that is suitable for empowering women is integrated non-formal education, namely non-formal education whose content of learning is related to the problems or needs of the families of students, namely improving the family economy. The results of this study indicate that the participants of non-formal education (through education and training) experienced changes in their mental attitudes and awareness of the importance of women's involvement (wives) in family economic activities. They do not depend on their husbands anymore, and they attend training in economic skills, so that at the end of the activity they acquire a set of skills that can be used to open new businesses that support the family economy.   Keywords: Empowerment, Nonformal Education, Family Economy

Branchless banking is a new system which is implemented by banks in Indonesiawith aims to provide services to rural communities in order to access bankingservices such as lending or deposit money in the bank through an intermediaryagent. At first the rural communities are hard to obtain banking facilities such asmicro-credit whereas economic activities are largely actuated by lower-classsector therefore the Financial Services Authority or Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK)issued the regulation number. 19/POJK.03/2014 about the financial serviceswithout office in the framework of financial inclusion on November 18, 2014 toface it. In this regulation, there are several things that need to be reviewed suchassessment accountability arrangements of agent as a third party who is notclearly regulated whereas according to some research there are some risk in themechanism of implementation like as potential of fraud due to the using of agentin this system. Though basically branchless banking is one of the strategicnational strategies to provide financing to small businesses in rural areas in orderto increase the competitiveness of products to compete in the ASEAN economiccommunity. Therefore, a legal instrument that can ensure and provide legalcertainty in branchless banking system is a very important thing, more overbranchless banking is the strategic of government to develop the quality of therural economy to face the ASEAN economic community.

Specific farm policies have not revitalized Castile and Leon rural environments, whose physical and structural characteristics limit their productive possibilities in the EU competitive market. Faced with this situation territorial polices for rural developments have been considered adequate for enhancing competitiveness by helping restructuring, diversifying economic activities emphasising endogenous potentialities, maintaining population in rural areas, and increasing quality of life in them. An assessment of the results obtained within the LEADER framework in the last two decades indicates that rural tourism has benefited, and that there has been a boost for the farm activities, especially trade and marketing activities, which small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have started and that have led to employment gains. However, the benefits have been located in few places, only those that boast high sizes, and have not achieved a visible reduction of rural inequalities nor have translated in an active participation in European networks of multinational cooperation.
